How old do you have to be to rent an e‑bike?

Renters must be 18 years old to ride — bring ID at check‑in.

Can I ride the e‑bike on all trails?

Stick to designated bike‑friendly paths, service roads, and wider boardwalk sections; some trails are pedestrian‑only.

Are helmets provided?

Most rental outfits supply helmets, but bringing your own is recommended for comfort and fit.

When are manatees most likely to be seen?

Manatees gather in higher numbers during colder months when they seek warm spring discharge; sightings are more common in winter.

Can I turn off the electric assist?

Yes — these bikes can be ridden like a regular mountain bike by switching off pedal assist.

Q: Where do I check in?

Check in at the retail building in the park’s upper parking lot.

Blue Springs State Park in Orange City, Florida, is one of the region’s clearest first‑magnitude springs, a bowl of cobalt water that feeds Blue Spring Run and, eventually, the St. Johns River. E-Bike Rentals here invite riders to glide along leafy trails, rolling boardwalks, and quiet service roads on a Wooken electric bike, trading sweat for scenery when you want and switching to an honest mountain‑bike feel when you don’t. The rental fleet includes bikes with five levels of pedal assist, letting you cruise between six and twenty miles per hour while choosing how much help you want. The front display keeps your speed and assist setting visible; reliable front and rear brakes and an automatic front headlight make late‑afternoon rides comfortable. Renters check in at the retail building in the park’s upper parking lot; riders must be 18 or older. What makes this outing special is the combination of Florida’s ground‑water clarity and an intimate land network that rewards slow exploration. The turquoise spring pool is a geological signature—limestone and sand feed a constant 72°F flow—ringed by mature live oak hammocks and saw palmetto. In winter months, the pool becomes a refuge for West Indian manatees that gather in the warm spring discharge, offering a rare wildlife spectacle that pairs perfectly with a low‑impact e‑bike tour. Birds — limpkin, heron, and warblers — frequent the shaded corridors; occasional otter sightings are possible along the run. For photographers and travelers who want more than a quick loop, e‑bikes extend range so you can reach the picnic areas, the boardwalk to the spring head, and the longer riverside stretches without a long pedal session. The option to shut off assist turns the machine into a capable mountain bike for steeper or softer surfaces, making it useful for mixed terrain days. Blue Springs’ popularity with paddlers and swimmers means that thoughtful riders keep speed moderate and respect designated trails and picnic zones. Because this is public parkland managed for wildlife and day‑use recreation, the e‑bike rental acts as a gentle mobility option that lets more visitors access the park without increasing car traffic. Plan to allow extra time for stops: the park has interpretive signs explaining the spring’s hydrology and signage about manatee protection, plus a shaded picnic area where you can pause. Keep a modest pace around wildlife, yield to pedestrians on boardwalks, and carry a small lock if you’ll leave a bike briefly. Rentals typically suit half‑day visits and longer exploratory loops comfortably.
