Haines, Alaska, perched at the northern tip of the Lynn Canal, offers rugged wilderness and sweeping coastal vistas that call for active adventure seekers. Cyclops Cycles, located at 48 Beach Rd, puts a powerful set of wheels in your hands with their Rad Rover Plus Fat Tire E-Bikes, engineered to tackle both paved paths and the rough gravel roads common to Southeast Alaska’s backcountry. These e-bikes pack over 45 miles of battery range with pedal-assist and throttle options, perfect for both casual riders and those craving a more challenging outing.
Setting off from the heart of town, riders can chart a personalized route amidst some of Haines’ most compelling landscapes. The iconic Chilkoot River valley lies to the east, renowned for salmon runs and frequent bear and bald eagle sightings during summer. This stretch invites long pauses for wildlife watching or photography, making it more than just a ride.
For a deeper wilderness experience, the Chilkat State Park to the south opens up quiet forest trails and beachside views of Rainbow and Davidson Glaciers. The park’s diverse terrain is ideal for those who want to mix gentle hiking with cycling, backed by the e-bike’s robust fat tires that grip loose and uneven surfaces. Heading north, the Haines Highway scenic byway runs adjacent to the Chilkat River, offering glacier-capped peaks and alpine river views, where moose and eagles are often spotted.
