eBike Charging Network

One of the best things about riding an eBike through Starved Rock Country is how far you can go — and now you can go even further. The Quest eBike Charging Network is a growing map of local restaurants, bars, cafés, and shops where riders can stop, plug in, and top off their battery while taking a break.

Whether you own an eBike or rented one for the day, these stops are here to extend your adventure and give you a chance to explore the local businesses that make this area great.

For Riders

Using a charging stop is simple — just bring your own charger (the same one that came with your bike). Here’s what to know before you roll in:

• Bring your charger.
  • Each charging location provides access to a standard 120V wall outlet. Your bike’s charger plugs in just like any household device.

• You may need to remove your battery.
  • Depending on where the outlet is located at each stop, it may be easier (or necessary) to remove the battery from your bike and bring it inside rather than running a cord outside. Most Aventon batteries detach quickly and easily.

• Plan for 30–60 minutes.
  • A partial top-off charge during lunch or a drink stop can meaningfully extend your range for the rest of your ride.

• Be a good guest.
  • These businesses are doing us a favor — please support them with a purchase while you charge!

For Businesses — Join the Network

Joining the Quest eBike Charging Network is one of the easiest wins available to any local business. Here’s why it works:

• You gain a captive customer.
  • An eBike charging 30–60 minutes means a customer who is literally parked at your location and looking for something to eat, drink, or browse.

• The cost is negligible.
  • Unlike charging an electric vehicle, an eBike battery draws roughly the same electricity as running a laptop. We’re talking a few cents per charge — not a meaningful expense.

• You’ll be on the map.
  • Participating businesses are featured on the charging network map on this page, which is promoted to all Quest eBike renters and customers.

• • No equipment needed.
    • Riders bring their own chargers. All you provide is access to a standard wall outlet.
