FAQ's

How do I rent an electric bike to use on Block Island?

You can rent one of our RAD Power electric bikes at our Galilee location. We are located at 235 Sand Hill Cove Road, Narragansett, Rhode Island. Just steps from where the Point Judith ferry departs!

Can / should I reserve bikes in advance?

Yes! For now, you must reserve your bikes over the phone or through email in advance as we cannot guarantee availability day of.

How far can the bikes go on a single charge?

Our Rad Power bikes can be ridden 40+ miles on a single charge. Ultimately it comes down to how you choose to ride the bike. Don't want to pedal and just want to use the throttle to glide around the island effortlessly? No problem, just know that you might only get 25-30 miles on a full charge. That would still be generally sufficient for a full days exploration, just keep that in mind.

How do I get the bike to Block Island?

In most cases, the bikes must be transported to Block Island aboard the Point Judith Traditional Ferry. You must purchase a ticket for the e-bike from the ferry company at a cost of ~$18. You can make this purchase in advance or on the day of travel. We recommend you purchase this ticket in advance.
