Explore inner Brisbane on an electric bike or scooter

E-wheeling on a shared e-bike or e-scooter is a great way to explore Brisbane. You'll find e-mobility parking hubs in Brisbane City and in more than 15 surrounding suburbs.

See Brisbane from a different perspective by riding an e-bike or e-scooter today! Follow our itinerary for an easy ride from Brisbane City to Teneriffe.

The basics

With e-bikes and e-scooters for hire dotted across the city, snagging a ride is as easy.

1. Download the operator app (Beam or Lime) on your smartphone and register your details.
2. Pick up an e-bike or e-scooter from an e-mobility hub or virtual parking zone.
3. Put on a helmet before heading off. Helmets are mandatory.

Now you're ready to get moving!

Safety first

• E-bikes and e-scooters go a little faster than your standard push-bike (they’re also pretty quiet). Be mindful of traffic and pedestrians when riding or scooting.
• Slow and steady wins the race! If you’re new to e-bikes and e-scooters take it easy. Get the hang of it all at a slower pace and get to your destination safely.
• Brake early. An e-bike has more power behind it than your average fixed-gear bike. Brake to slow down well before your intended stop.
• Helmets are non-negotiable. Protect your head with a helmet.

Your ride itinerary

Fuel up (you not the bike!) - 8am

Although e-bikes and e-scooters require less effort than push bikes or scooters, you'll want to fuel up before you start exploring. Grab a pastry from Lune, Burnett Lane, or order a coffee-to-go from Georgio's Cafe at 300 George Street, Brisbane City (weekdays only).

City to Kangaroo Point - 9.30am

Breakfast and coffee ticked off, it’s time to collect your electric bike bike or scooter, and roll onto your first destination: Kangaroo Point.
