Electric-assist tricycles to give rides for Acadia National Park visitors with disabilities

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • August 20, 2022

A local nonprofit group is providing modified electric tricycles to give lifts to disabled visitors hoping to see more of Acadia National Park’s beautiful scenery. The MDI Wheelers, a group which helps people get out onto Acadia’s carriage roads regardless of their mobility, is launching an electric-assist tricycle program next summer at the park, the MDIslander reported. The program will allow someone riding an electric-assist tricycle to use the vehicle as a way to help people who need mobility aids, such as wheelchairs, navigate the park.
