- Will you change the pedals on my bike rental? Our performance road bike rentals and full suspension mountain bike rentals include changing to your pedals matched to your cleats and cycling shoes.

To ensure a specific bike is available in the size you want, we recommend making an advance reservation for your Maui bike rental. If you are making plans for the XTerra World Championship at Kapalua, the Cycle to the Sun road ride or other popular organized bike rides on Maui, we strongly encourage making a bike rental reservation before arriving on Maui.
- Where is the best bike riding on Maui? Maui is fast becoming a popular destination for cycling vacations! The West Maui Loop ride and Road to Hana are among favorite road bike rides for those seeking coastal bike rides with unrivaled spectacular scenery! One of the most challenging road bike climbs on the planet may be conquered with an uphill Haleakala bike ride. Haleakala is the dormant volcano making up most of east and south Maui. With diverse micro climates combined with a nearly endless choice of mountain bike riding trails, riders are easily able to find mountain bike rides ranging from the extreme Skyline trail Haleakala bike ride to cool forest riding on the Makawao Forest Reserve mountain bike trails. Be sure to check out the Maui county bike map and review our past bike blog articles for details and descriptions of more Maui bike rides with bike route maps and suggestions, some with bike ride videos.
