Are there e bike and or regular bike rentals at key points along the Confederation Trail?

Good afternoon from Prince Edward Island,

Thank you for your inquiry to Ask an Islander. We’re excited to hear that you plan to explore Prince Edward Island by bicycle and experience the Confederation Trail. 

Yes, there are both regular bicycle and e-bike rental operators located in several communities along or near the Confederation Trail, particularly in larger centres such as Charlottetown, Summerside, and other popular visitor areas. Availability can vary by location and season, so I recommend contacting rental operators in advance to reserve your bike, especially during the peak travel season.

E Bike Rentals

• Confederation Trail Bike Rentals located in St. Peter's has two e-bikes and many regular ones;
• Nellie’s Landing Marina in Murray Harbour has six e-bikes but no regular bikes; and 
• Rising Tide E-Bikes in Charlottetown is just a 3-minute ride to Joe Ghiz Memorial Park where the trail starts.

Regular Bike Rentals

• East Coast Paddle Adventures in Souris;
• Outside Expeditions in Brudenell;
• MacQueen’s and Outer Limit Sports in downtown Charlottetown and just 5 minutes to the trailhead;
• The Knot in Summerside
• Slemon Park Hotel near Summerside 
• Kildare Lodge Rentals near Alberton.

Enjoy your ride along the Confederation Trail! As you explore the trail, be sure to stop at the interpretive panels located along the route. These bilingual panels share fascinating stories, photographs, and insights about Prince Edward Island's history, culture, architecture, geography, and natural environment. From coastal communities and railway heritage to local landmarks and Island traditions, the panels offer a deeper understanding of the places you'll encounter along the way.

Have a fabulous adventure!
