Select participants and date
The morning wind off the Atlantic pushes a faint spray across sunglasses as the e-bike hums under you, doing the heavy work while the road unfolds. Ride quiet and confident along the ocean side of US-1 and the scene is simple: low mangroves, shallow blue water, and the flat line of horizon that makes every mile feel like an invitation. These rentals deliver to your hotel or Airbnb—no shop visit required—so the day begins where you choose and ends when you want.

Adventure Tips
Manage battery by planning distance
Expect 25–40 miles per charge depending on assist level; plan a 10–20 mile loop if you want to return with reserve power.
Respect STOP signs and local traffic
Old US-1 and residential streets have enforced stop signs—come to full stops and yield to pedestrians and anglers.
Sun protection is critical
Low elevation means strong UV; pack broad-spectrum sunscreen, sunglasses, and a ventilated helmet for long rides.
Lock and hydrate during beach stops
Carry a small cable lock for quick stops at parks or cafes and bring at least one liter of water per person for half-day rides.

History
The Overseas Highway follows parts of the former Overseas Railroad built in the early 20th century; many Old Highway segments trace the original rail bed.
Conservation
Ride on paved surfaces, avoid disturbing mangrove edges, and pack out trash; the Keys rely on reef and coastal protection efforts to keep fisheries and waters healthy.
