Our Electric bikes


For many years the batteries of electric bikes for sale in Australia were too small for our tours. When the German brand Leon Cycle offered NCM bikes in Australia, we immediatly bought a few. The battery can hold astonishing 768 Wh. NCM has now become one of the leading brands in Australia.
The model we have chosen is easy to handle with just one gear lever. It does enable us to keep our prices low in comparison, in particular if you take into account, our rental price does include the expensive delivery and pick up. However, these bikes do NOT have a mid motor with torque sensor like most E-bikes nowadays. Instead, tehy have a hub motor with motion sensor. It is different to handle and may feel strange in the beginning, but after a day or two all our clients got used to it and loved it at the end. We will explain the details during bike delivery.
Please be aware, we only offer our E-Bikes for our Eastcoast and Northeast tours. Customers of our Westcoast tour are just too far away in case something fails.
All our bikes are fitted with puncture proof tyres and are serviced by an experienced technician before each rental.
Each rental comes with a comprehensive toolbox incl. a spare tube, a good pump and one lock for every 2 bikes.
Helmets are available on request free of charge (wearing a helmet is compulsory).
Please note: Our E-bikes are NOT suitable for off-road treks or rough gravel roads and must NEVER be exposed to sea spray.
Maximum load (rider plus luggage) is strictly 125kg. Any damage caused by overweight is not covered by our free repair service.



Our E-bikes are NCM Venice plus (gents) and NCM Milano plus (ladies). They are equipped with a modern 48 Volt system, a rear hub drive with a torque of 55 Nm, puncture proof tyres, hydraulic disc brakes, adjustable handlebar, suspension fork and seat post. Weight is around 30 kg.
