Operated by Red Arrow Ride · Union Pier, Michigan
E-Bike Rental - Step Over - Aventure sits in Union Pier, Michigan, offering Aventon Aventure e-bikes that open the Lake Michigan shoreline and Red Arrow Trail to riders 18 and up. The shop is a practical base for exploring flat paved paths, sandy beach approaches, and Lakeshore Road between Union Pier and New Buffalo. Fat tires, pedal assist, and an optional throttle make this model especially stable on loose sand entrances and comfortable on longer runs.
A standard rental begins with an in-store fitting and safety review; rentals are pickup-only and require every rider to sign a waiver. Staff fit each rider to the Step Over Aventon Aventure, explain operation, and cover transport rules: e-bikes may not be carried inside vehicles or laid down—transport requires a proper bike rack. Riders are responsible for damage or loss during the rental period. Because of the bike’s larger frame and power, Red Arrow Ride recommends renters be comfortable on a slightly larger bicycle.
Key route highlights include the Red Arrow Trail, a compact rail-trail corridor ideal for steady cruising; Lakeshore Road, which threads along the shore with multiple beach access points; and the small beach-town streets of New Buffalo where cafés and galleries break up the ride. The bikes’ fat tires help absorb coarse sand and uneven pavement, while the pedal assist and throttle let riders cover more miles without overexerting. Expect to pass low dune ridges, beach grass, and migratory shorebirds along the way—this stretch of Lake Michigan coastline favors open beaches and prairie-edge vegetation rather than steep cliffs.
Practical details matter: rentals run daily and weekly, and E-Bikes are strictly pickup-only—no delivery. Riders under 18 are not eligible. For safety and equipment care, E-Bikes must stay on approved roads and trails and can’t be transported without an approved rack. The shop also sells Aventon models for those who want to keep the ride.
Why book this trip? It’s an efficient way to extend a beach day, link multiple lakeside viewpoints, and explore more territory than a standard pedal-only bike allows. For visitors to Union Pier and nearby New Buffalo, a powered ride adds distance without sacrificing the leisurely pace of a shoreline outing. The shop’s hands-on fitting and local knowledge get you rolling with confidence; the bike’s build—fat tires, stable geometry, and electric assist—makes exploratory rides simpler and more comfortable. If you want to see the Lake Michigan edge without sweating every mile, this rental turns ordinary sightseeing into an active, energizing day on two wheels. Reserve online through the shop’s booking link to secure the right frame size, arrive five minutes early for a fitting and helmet check, and bring a small U-lock to secure quick stops in town during peak season.
