eBiking in Zion National Park (Utah)
The shuttle in Zion National Park, recently made changes that in order to ride it you need to purchase a $1 ticket/person up to two weeks in advance. I waited for when they were available and within literally 2 seconds, and refreshing the recreation.gov webpage, they were all gone!
Not having a Zion trip be stopped, we looked into renting a e-Bike from an outfitter just outside Zion, in the town of Springdale. While most places had a single rider bike available, we saw from a previous day, that an ebike option that can carry two adults, or in our case, an adult and one young kid was possible. But a quick look at outfitters only showed a 1 person bike.
After searching that night for an outfitter with the dual passenger ebike, we came across "Springdale Visitor Center" which has the two-seater e-Bikes for all-day rentals for around $150 per bike (plus a $300 refundable deposit). Sure, it's not $1 shuttle ticket, but we were all ready here in Southern Utah and wanted to take the kids to Angel's Landing, along with other Zion hiking gems.
Needless-to-say, they were an excellent choice! They had a range of 50 miles and a top speed of nearly 20 mph! It felt like a motorcycle essentially. If you have the extra money, I would suggest taking an eBike into Zion. It was worth it! I am hardcore Zion junkie and visit Zion NP 3-5 times a year, even though I live more than 5 hours away. And while taking the shuttle for all of those years, taking an ebike and going at our own pace was worth the cost for this trip. No waiting for the shuttle, and those bikes also had a weight limit of 350 lbs! That's essentially two adults, or one adult and one kid. While it would be fun to keep renting eBikes, unfortunately the repetitive cost is discouraging. But once though, it was worth it.
To rent out the specific Ebikes that we had, the "Magnum Payload", visit Springdale Visitor Center at https://ebikerentalzion.com/
(After our ride, I was seriously considering buying an ebike. Especially something like a Haibike downhile one.)
Thanks for watching!
