Maui E-Mountain Bike Experience Tour at Ulupalakua Ranch

Overview

The Emountain Bike Tour Maui e-mountain bike tour is a guided off-road ride on private Ulupalakua Ranch trails above Wailea on electric mountain bikes, with helmet, pads, water and a support truck included for $260. It suits riders aged 12 and up who can handle a bicycle and want car-free trails with ocean views. Drawback: it is real off-road riding, not a paved cruise.

Highlights

• Guided ride on private Ulupalakua Ranch trails with no cars, run by bike shop owner Donnie Arnoult and guide Franck Berthuot (Greetwell, October 2026)
• Electric mountain bike sized to you, helmet, gloves, elbow and knee pads, riding backpack, water, snacks and a 4x4 support truck with spares included
• Two route options chosen after a short test ride: a relaxed route reached by a 15-minute truck ride, or an advanced climb from base camp
• $260 on the operator site, $287 on Greetwell; rated 5.0 from 31 Greetwell reviews and 5 stars from 26 Google reviews shown on the operator site
• Full refund for cancellations 48 hours or more ahead; minimum age 12

What to Expect

1. You meet the guide in Maui Meadows above Wailea and drive up to the ranch base camp, where you are fitted with an e-bike, helmet, gloves and pads.
2. After a pre-ride briefing you take a short test ride so the guide can judge which route suits you.
3. Relaxed-route riders take a 15-minute truck ride up through the ranch before starting on easier off-road trails; advanced riders climb from base camp on steeper, rockier sections.
4. Both groups meet at the truck parking area near the first scenic lookout, with views over Molokini and Kahoolawe reported by one reviewer.
5. A 4x4 truck follows with spare equipment and the guide stops for photos; the ride length is set by the guide for the group.
6. You return to base camp and are driven back to the meeting point; the operator does not publish the total time, which one Google reviewer called a half day.
