You don’t need to be experienced but you do need to be competent with balancing and controlling the eBike. For example, be able to corner and brake safely. If you can ride a normal bicycle then you should be able to easily manage an eBike.

We provide helmets and recommend you wear something that you are comfortable riding in that’s suitable for the climate at the time. During summer, we suggest that you wear loose long sleeves for staying cool and for sun protection. And don’t forget your suncreen and sunglasses – even in winter!

You will also need to bring your drivers licence (or passport) and the credit card you booked with to confirm identification and pay the bond (if not already paid).

Our electric bicycles for hire are classified as bicycles and therefore adhere to normal bicycle road rules. eBikes are permitted on dedicated cycle paths, on footpaths (if it’s not signposted otherwise) and must give way to pedestrians. If you ride on the road you must also adhere to normal car rules.
For more info, read the Queensland bicycle and safety laws.
Pedal or carry! Or if you have your charger find somewhere that will let you recharge.
Hopefully you won’t as we have fitted each bike with top-quality puncture resistant tyres and tubes. Flat tyres can be avoided by watching where you are riding and avoiding riding in gutters and over sharp object such as broken glass. If you are concerned though we can provide you with a can of sealant / inflator that, for 90% of flat tyres, will get you moving again.
If it doesn’t work though you will unfortunately need to return the bike to us to get it repaired. (Tip: Maxi taxis will carry bicycles).
