01 · Multi-day range
Thirteen Day Electric Bike Rental — go farther, move slower
This 13-day e‑bike rental features the Magnum Low Rider 2.0, a heavy-duty electric cruiser engineered to be comfortable and capable across varied terrain. The operator notes a single-charge range up to 50 miles, Shimano 7-speed gearing, suspension fork, hydraulic disc brakes, integrated front and rear lights, and both pedal-assist and throttle modes. The low step-thru frame is specified to fit riders between 5'2" and 6'6", which makes mounting and long days in the saddle easier for more travelers.
For Farmingdale-based travelers plotting longer circuits on Long Island or linking to coastal roads, a multi-day e‑bike like this removes range anxiety and reduces physical strain on consecutive days. The operator includes helmet, lights and a lock and lists a meeting point at 112 Arrow Rd, Hilton Head Island, SC—so this option suits travelers planning regional relocations or multi-destination itineraries where a reliable, long-range e‑bike is central to the plan.

Untermeyer Gardens Picnic Bike Ride — a cultivated half-day
This guided 4-hour ride moves through historic Yonkers and along sections of the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail, offering sweeping Hudson River views before a visit to the walled Untermeyer Gardens. The itinerary is intentionally low-key—a roughly 8-mile unpaved stretch between Tarrytown and Yonkers followed by time in the gardens, where you can bring your own picnic or use the operator’s picnic provisions. Note that rental bikes are not included in the base price, so plan accordingly if you need a bike supplied.
For visitors based in Farmingdale who want a refined morning or afternoon without a full-day logistics commitment, the Untermeyer Gardens ride delivers river vistas and cultivated landscape. The operator highlights ease of access by regional rail, which is helpful when combining a Farmingdale start with a rail link into the Hudson corridor.

Ten Day Electric Bike Rental — balance range and time
The ten-day Magnum Low Rider rental mirrors the longer 13-day option in equipment and capability: a step-thru, comfortable frame that accepts riders from 5'2" to 6'6", suspension fork, hydraulic disc brakes and integrated lighting. The advertised up-to-50-mile range gives riders the flexibility to string together diverse daily routes without returning to charge each night, making it practical for base-plus-day-loop touring or for tackling longer single-day excursions.
From a Farmingdale perspective, a 10-day rental is useful when you want a single, dependable bike for a full stretch of travel—whether you plan to explore Long Island’s north shore, link toward the South Fork, or include day trips into the city. The operator includes helmet, lights and a lock, which simplifies packing and airport-to-bike transitions for travelers who want high-spec equipment without hauling their own bike.

Metro Bicycles Adult Hybrid Bikes — 1 Week
A one-week hybrid rental is the simplest route for travelers who want to self-navigate local roads, park paths and bike-friendly lanes without the complexity of an e‑bike. This offering provides adult hybrid bikes in sizes from small to extra-large, each supplied with a helmet, bottle cage and kickstand. The operator states a one-week rental period due by the seventh day from the start, making it ideal for a week of steady exploration around Farmingdale and neighboring communities.
For metropolitan-adjacent travelers who prefer to keep fitness work on the agenda or who enjoy lighter, simpler bikes for mixed-surface riding, the hybrid week solves gear logistics and provides consistent, comfortable equipment suited to short hops and longer casual loops. With a modest availability number noted by the operator, early booking is sensible for peak-season travel.

Private Brooklyn Bridge Bike Tour — high-impact city ride

The tour is designed to be paced to the group and can be extended to a longer all-day option for additional fees, according to the operator.
For travelers based in Farmingdale looking to combine a day in the city with a curated cycling experience, this private tour is an efficient way to see signature architecture and waterfront views without the crowd navigation stress. The operator’s meeting point on Chambers Street makes train and car access straightforward for day-trippers who want an elevated urban ride rather than a self-guided scramble across city streets.

Eight Day Electric Bike Rental — compact range, big comfort
The eight-day Magnum Low Rider rental offers the same core hardware as the longer options—robust step-thru frame, pedal-assist modes, suspension, hydraulic brakes and integrated lights—tailored for shorter multi-day trips. The 50-mile advertised single-charge range and included helmet, lights and lock reduce planning friction and allow travelers to prioritize routes and scenery rather than battery management.
An eight-day rental is a practical balance for Farmingdale travelers seeking a compact window for exploration: long enough to travel beyond the immediate neighborhood and short enough to avoid extended logistics. The operator’s details include a meeting point in Hilton Head Island, SC; for those combining longer travel segments, this package is a high-comfort way to keep consistent equipment across multiple days of riding.
