RideMaine is new to the Kennebunks in 2022.
You can learn more about RideMaine on their website. Basically its a fairly inexpensive way to go out and not worry about parking or driving home. At about $5.00 per person they will drive you where you need to go in a low speed EV cart similar to a golf cart. Kids love it too!
