01 · Best for groups
Private Pedalcycle — a sociable, all-ages-excluded bar crawl on wheels
This private PedalCycle experience is billed as a 15-passenger, human-powered party bike that runs routes in Seaside Heights (and Beach Haven as listed). The operator frames it as an open-air, two-hour group rental ideal for birthdays, bachelor or bachelorette outings, company events, and other celebrations. Seats line both sides with an additional bench on the back; the format is explicitly adult-focused — the supplier specifies a 21+ policy for bar stops.
If your priority is shared motion and atmosphere rather than a traditional touring bike, the PedalCycle offers something different: a social engine where guests pedal together, stop at local bars, and keep the energy moving. The experience is presented as private (full-bike) rental for the allotted two-hour window; group organizers should confirm capacity, local pickup points, and any operator rules before booking.

Thirteen Day Electric Bike Rental — high-range e-bikes for extended exploration
The Magnum Low Rider 2.0 is presented as a rugged, comfortable electric bike capable of up to a 50-mile range on a single charge. The supplied listing highlights practical features: a low step-thru frame for easy mounting, Shimano 7-speed chain, suspension fork, hydraulic disc brakes, and integrated front and rear lights. For longer self-guided days away from Fair Haven, these specifications translate to sustained range and confidence on mixed surfaces.
The operator includes essentials: helmet, lights, and a lock. The listing also notes a strict age requirement — all riders must be 18 or older — and emphasizes the bike’s fit range from roughly 5'2" to 6'6". This rental suits visitors who want an electric assist for extended coastal circuits or day-to-day local exploration without daily recharging concerns.

Five-Week Rental — doorstep delivery and pick-up for extended coastal visits
This five-week rental centers on convenience: the operator offers free delivery and pick-up between Point Pleasant and Lavallette, with a weekly rental defined from Sunday morning drop-off to Friday evening pickup. Included items listed by the operator are helmets, locks, and optional baskets. The note about color variability indicates fleets are mixed; expect practical beach-cruiser or rental-grade bikes suited for coastal promenades and neighborhood lanes.
Longer-term renters and seasonal visitors will find value in the included logistics. The supplier’s framing — multi-week bookings with consolidated drop-off and collection — removes the daily shuffle of returns and allows a more residential approach to cycling in the region. Confirm pickup/dropoff windows with the operator, and note that a ‘weekly’ period as defined by the listing spans Sunday to Friday.

Untermeyer Gardens Picnic Bike Ride — Hudson views and garden walks
This guided outing pairs an easy-paced ride along the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail with a stroll and picnic in the historic Untermeyer Gardens. The operator describes an 8-mile stretch of mostly unpaved trail between Tarrytown and Yonkers, followed by time in walled gardens and landscaped grounds. Rental bikes are not included in the base price, but riders may bring their own or arrange local rental options.
The itinerary is explicitly low-key: book the day and expect the operator to coordinate a start time. The package can include a picnic prepared by the operator on request. This is a good fit for travelers who want a gentle, scenic day out that pairs cycling with a classic riverside garden visit rather than a high-mileage, fast-paced ride.

Ten Day Electric Bike Rental — step-thru comfort for shorter stays
The ten-day Magnum Low Rider 2.0 rental offers the same core strengths as the longer 13-day listing: a low step-thru frame for ease of use, suspension, hydraulic disc brakes, and an advertised range up to 50 miles per charge. The operator lists included items—helmet, lights, and lock—so riders are ready to leave the shop and explore immediately.
This option is tailored to visitors whose trips last a matter of days rather than weeks. It balances robust battery range with mounting ease and everyday features, making it a sensible choice for short stays where flexibility and comfort are priorities. As with the longer rental, the operator requires riders to meet the age requirement listed on the booking page.

Four-Week Rental — month-long access with delivery and pickup
This four-week rental mirrors the five-week listing’s logistics with free delivery and pick-up across the Point Pleasant to Lavallette corridor. The operator clarifies the weekly cycle (Sunday morning drop-off, Friday evening pickup) and repeats the common inclusions: helmets, locks, and optional baskets. The description notes that bike color may vary by availability.
Monthly renters benefit from simplified logistics and consistent access to a dependable bike for local commuting, exercise, or relaxed coastal exploration. Those planning longer stays should confirm drop-off and collection windows and verify any local regulations for parking or storing rental bikes at their accommodation.
