NEWS: New Fleet of Award-Winning E-Bikes Have Arrived at Mohonk Mountain House and Are Ready For the Trails
NEW PALTZ, NY (June 14, 2023) — Mohonk Mountain House, a Victorian castle resort nestled in the heart of the Hudson Valley, is excited to announce the arrival of its latest collection of award-winning electric bikes for use on miles of groomed trails surrounding the property.
The new fleet of Specialized TERO 3.0 ST E-bikes will bring the total number in Mohonk’s squadron to fifteen. In addition to their regular mountain bikes, there are bountiful ways to enjoy cycling in the Shawangunk Mountains.
The E-bike is a top-of-the-line model from Specialized, a leading manufacturer of cycling equipment. With three levels of assistance (Eco, Trail, and Turbo), TERO riders can effortlessly traverse through any terrain. Designed for riders of all levels, the E-bikes are equipped with a battery and electric motor that provide assistance up to 20 MPH while the rider pedals, designating it as a Class I E-bike.
At Mohonk, riders can revel in breathtaking views of the Shawangunk Ridge along gravel carriage roads. The property offers more than thirty-five miles of trails to explore on bike, along with connector trails on the Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park.
Beginner riders often enjoy brief scenic rides along rolling hills, while more experienced cyclists can easily find themselves touring the trails on a multi-hour feat. Guided biking excursions are offered seasonally or guests can take a bike out on their own. Private guides are also available to take groups up to 20 on their own adventure.
President and fifth-generation Smiley family member Eric Gullickson notes, “Our long history of providing quality biking opportunities for our guests continues to thrive with the addition of e-bikes into our fleet. Our guests have the convenience of enjoying a high-quality bike, going on a guided ride or simply exploring on their own to discover the thrill of Mohonk’s historic carriageways leading to many spectacular vistas.”
Although E-bike usage is not included in the nightly rate, they are available for an additional fee during operating hours for $75 per bike for the entire day. Comprised of five small, five medium, and five large E-bikes, Mohonk’s fleet caters to riders who are 5’2” or greater in stature and at least thirteen years of age.
