The experience

You're pedaling or sitting on a pedal bus, your choice, powered by solar panels and electric motors as it rolls through downtown Charlottetown. The route passes Province House, Government House, Beaconsfield Historic House and Prince Edward Battery as the guide points out what matters. The bus holds up to 14 people on individual seats with seatbelts, plus bench seating in back, so there's room for families or small groups without splitting up.

Two restaurant stops anchor the tour. At Old Triangle you get 30 minutes and 20% off the entire menu. At Dali Cafe the special is flatbread and beer or happy hour drinks. You can buy up to two drinks right on the bike if you want to keep moving between stops. The whole loop takes two and a half hours, which is long enough to see the downtown core and the waterfront without eating up your whole afternoon.

Pick the 11am, 2pm or 5pm departure that fits your day. The pace is easy and slow (this is not a sprint), and the electric motors mean nobody has to strain to keep up. Infants can ride on a lap or in a stroller. Service animals are welcome.
