Discover Central Park on an electric bicycle. Silent power, zero effort, all the views. Velotric electric bikes from Astra Bike Rentals at 873 7th Avenue. From $25/hour.
Central Park has more to see than most people realize. An electric bike makes sure you actually see it all.
Central Park is the size of three Disneylands. The full bike loop is 6.1 miles. Walk it and you're looking at a four-hour day. Pedal a classic bike and it's two hours of work.

The icons you'll cover without breaking a sweat:

Want to see Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, Hudson Yards and the High Line in one day? Only possible on electric.

You can also turn the motor off entirely and ride it as a regular bike — useful if you want a workout on the flats and assist on the hills.
Helmet, lock and lights always included.
