Pedal-assist Ebikes make the Pinellas Trail an inviting way to cover 15–30 miles of waterfront, parks, and neighborhood stops in a single half-day. This rental includes a short orientation, helmet, and lock so you can ride out from central St. Petersburg with confidence.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from a small storefront that doubles as a local landmark — a Waffle House building with Ebikes lined up beside it — and the pavement opens into the Pinellas Trail. Palm shadows flicker across the wide, paved path as the pedal-assist hums to life; the bikes move with an ease that encourages curiosity, not speed. Within minutes the clatter of traffic recedes and the trail becomes a ribbon connecting parks, waterfront pullouts, and neighborhood cafés.

History
The Pinellas Trail is a rail-to-trail conversion begun in the 1990s that repurposed former railroad corridors into a continuous multi-use path linking towns across Pinellas County.
Conservation
The trail is county-maintained; riders are encouraged to stay on the paved path, pack out trash, and respect adjacent habitats to protect coastal wetlands and shorebird nesting areas.

Charge and secure your phone
Bring a fully charged phone for navigation and use the provided handlebar mount to keep your device accessible without handling it while riding.
Hydrate and time your ride
Start early or late afternoon to avoid peak sun; carry at least 1 L of water per person for a half-day ride in Florida heat.
Use the throttle wisely
Throttle is helpful for headwinds or short hills, but conserve battery by using pedal-assist on longer stretches to extend range.
Lock when you stop
Always secure the Ebike with the provided combination lock when you step into a café or gallery — theft and tipping can happen at busy stops.
Water bottle (1–2 L)
Keeps you hydrated in hot, humid conditions common on the trail.
