Do you provide helmets?

Yes. Helmets and goggles are provided with ATV and Side X Side rentals. Snowmobile helmets with heated shields are also provided with snowmobile rentals.

Can I rent snowmobile clothing and gear?

Yes. Snowmobile jackets, bibs/pants, boots and gloves are available to rent. Rental gear is available at all three 201 PowerSports locations.

What should I wear for an ATV or Side X Side rental?

Wear long pants, closed-toe shoes and clothing appropriate for the weather. If you’ll be out for the day, it’s also a good idea to bring plenty of water and snacks.

What happens if it rains?

You ride! ATV riding doesn’t stop just because it rains. In fact, a little rain usually means less dust and a little more mud.

Do you offer guided ATV or snowmobile tours?

No. 201 PowerSports does not offer guided tours. Rentals are self-guided, but we’ll help you with maps, trail information and what to expect before you head out.

What if I’ve never ridden an ATV, Side X Side or snowmobile before?

That’s okay. Before you head out, you’ll complete a short, required safety video, and our team will go over your machine, trail signs, maps and other information specific to riding in this area.

We’ll cover the important stuff, answer your questions and get you on your way.

Will you help me figure out where to ride?

Absolutely. We ride these trails and know this part of Maine like the back of our hands. We can help you understand the maps, trail signs and what to expect so you can plan a ride that makes sense for the time you have.

What happens if I get lost or have trouble on the trail?

Contact our rental recovery line. If cell service is weak, try sending a text – it may go through when a phone call will not.

Our team can help with navigation, flat tires and other problems that come up while you’re riding.

What happens if I have an emergency where there is no cell service?

Our trail rental machines are equipped with emergency beacons for true emergencies. We’ll explain how and when to use the beacon before you leave.

If you do have cell service during a true emergency, call 911.

Can I transport my rental machine myself?

No. For insurance reasons, customers may not transport 201 PowerSports rental machines by vehicle or trailer.

When arranged in advance, we can transport a rental machine to one of our rental locations. A $100 transportation charge per machine applies.

Do I need to refill the fuel before returning my rental?

Yes. ATVs, Side X Sides and snowmobiles leave with a full tank of fuel and oil. You are responsible for refueling the machine before returning it at the end of your rental.

Is there a security deposit for rentals?

Yes, for ATV, Side X Side and snowmobile rentals.

Snowmobile security deposits are $1,000 with Standard Protection or $500 with the $25-per-day Premium Protection option.

ATV and Side X Side security deposits are $3,000 with Standard Protection or $1,500 with the $30-per-day Premium Protection option.

We recommend using a credit card rather than a debit card for your security deposit.

What is your cancellation policy?

Rentals may be rescheduled within the same season, based on availability, with a $25 rebooking fee per machine.

More than two weeks before arrival, your deposit is refundable minus a cancellation fee equal to 5% of the total reservation.

If satisfactory riding conditions exist, cancellations within two weeks of arrival forfeit the 50% reservation deposit. Cancellations within 48 hours forfeit the 50% deposit and the remaining reservation balance.

Can I keep my ATV, Side X Side or snowmobile overnight?

Multiple-day ATV, Side X Side and snowmobile rentals may be kept overnight.

Your lodging must have adequate trail access if you plan to keep machines overnight.

201 PowerSports does not encourage or sponsor night riding.
