Ride Leelanau is a Suttons Bay, Michigan-based e-bike rental and tour operator specializing in electric bicycle experiences across Leelanau County. The business offers a range of rental options — from three-hour outings to week-long adventures — and a diverse fleet that includes electric trikes, fat-tire e-bikes, cargo bikes, city cruiser styles, and Rad Runner models. Helmets and child seats are provided, and many rentals are available to riders aged 16 and older.
Ride Leelanau runs a popular weekly group ride called WEELEE (Weekly Ebike Excursion–Leelanau), which meets on Wednesdays and visits a different vineyard along the Leelanau Trail. Guided options and self-guided rides are both available. A featured guided ebike tour runs on Thursdays and covers approximately 24 miles of the Leelanau Peninsula with stops at Tandem Ciders, St. Wenceslaus Church, and the Hallstedt Homestead Cherry Farm where riders can pick cherries.
Test rides are offered with 23 e-bike models across Rad Power, Velotric, and Lectric. Test rides last about 25 minutes, include a purchase discount, and the test fee is refunded for same-day purchases. Maintenance services include e-bike general tune ups, covering chain care, tire pressure checks, alignment, and component security.
Ride Leelanau hosts special events, including a Veterans Ride to the Red, White and Blues Charity Ride to Bel Lago led by Tim M on August 16, supporting Reining Liberty Ranch’s equine therapy. Group rides and special events connect riders with local wineries and charities.
