The first pedal forward on a fat-tire e-bike turns the familiar hush of Acadia's Carriage Roads into motion: gravel whispers under tires, pines lean like quiet witnesses, and granite rises in cropped ledges off to the side. Riders glide past the low stone bridges Rockefeller built a century ago, cross quiet inlets, and find elbow room for Jordan Pond House views without the buzz of motor traffic.
