- andrewbO4948OO0 contributionsGreat afternoon experienceMy wife and I did the e-bike winery tour to St Anne’s Vineyard. David our guide was super helpful, setting up our bikes properly, stopping to give us some local history and more recent facts along the way. The vineyard was very nice, as were their wines. Importantly we felt very safe the whole time. We highly recommend the Bike to winery e-bike tour with Green Pedal Cycles. 10/10.Written 18 November 2024
- rsh960 contributionsFantastic Echuca eBike TourDavid was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about the area. Despite not having ridden a bike for years riding an eBike was so easy and David was very patient when I did experience the odd issue - mainly getting started again after a stop. Echuca is well worth a visit.Written 21 October 2024
- JayJay0150 contributionsA fun, relaxing and easy experienceThis was so much fun! We hired the e-bike cruisers for a couple of hours and had the freedom to go wherever we liked, and there are plenty of tracks and roads to choose from. We easily filled in the time. The whole process from booking, paying, pick up, instructions and returning was super-easy which is what you want when you are on holidays. It was a very affordable, enjoyable and relaxing experience for a couple or a family and a great way to tour around Echuca/Moama.Written 8 October 2024
- Rod F0 contributionsGreat ebike tour to wineryThree of us did the ebike tour from Echuca to St Anne’s winery (and return) which was fabulous. David was a great tour guide with excellent local knowledge. Given we hadn’t been to Echuca for 20 years it was a great way to get reacquainted with Echuca and surrounds.Written 4 October 2024
- Jorgiec0 contributionsFun for the whole familySo much fun for the whole family. Easy to use, lovely area to explore. Friendly staff, good communication - we would definitely hire from Green Pedal Cycles again.Written 27 September 2024
- K7372HIcherylh0 contributionsHighly recommendDavid’s tour for our business group was terrific, giving us great information and exposure to points of interest in the time we had. Great way to start our day .. highly recommend for business or leisure .Written 16 September 2024
- michaelgN3297TZ0 contributionsE- bike tourAmazing views and trails. First time for my wife on an e-bike and our tour guide David soon had her riding confidently. We learnt so much about the bikes and Echuca/Moama. Highly recommended 👍👍Written 11 August 2024
- 888lesleyw0 contributionsGreat guide and wonderful cyclingWe had only booked bike hire but David agreed to take us on the 90 minute tour, although there was no tour that day. We loved the cycling through the bush along the rivers and were fascinated by Echuca’s rich history. Such an amazing way to see more of Echuca/Moama and learn more about the place. David was a great guide.Written 12 June 2024
- partyburkes0 contributionsGreat fun day of cycling!We had a great cycling adventure with David, he showed us some beautiful parts of Echuca and Moama as we cycled out to St Anne’s Winery for a delicious cheese platter and some beautiful wine! A great day out, we would absolutely recommend David to anyone looking for a fun adventure on wheels!Written 8 May 2024
- jasminef6720 contributionsLots of fun.We loved the history, David was a great host and we enjoyed the bush ride. We went over the bridge and also saw where the three rivers meet.Written 25 March 2024
- A3743BMclarer0 contributionsMust do in Echuca! The best way to explore for all abilities.Had the best day recently with a full day e-bike hire from Echuca. David was prompt, responsive and so knowledgable in getting us set up for the day. Himself and Suzanna went above and beyond to accommodate our needs on the day and provide all the information we needed to have a great time. This is a fantastic way to explore Echuca. I was worried that there wouldn't be much bike tracks or distance between stops to fill a full day hire but there is plenty to do and see. I will be back again to hire these bikes for sure! Thanks again to the amazing team!Written 29 January 2024
- 564silec0 contributionsFantastic student experienceThe E-Bike Cycling tour was fantastic. We booked this experience for the Year 11 students and it was informative and fun. The bikes provided both challenge and/or a level of additional assistance, depending on student fitness and skill level. The experience was safe, provided us an insight into the local area and its history, as well as a connection to nature whilst riding through the bush. Absolutely we will be booking again. Thanks David.Written 3 December 2023
- resiplexp0 contributionsE BIKE a great way to explore EchucaBRILLIANT Went on the 90 minute guided tour with our family What a fantastic way to ride along the banks of the Murray River with David as the tour guide. Davids knowledge of all things regarding the Murray and Echuca /Moama was first class. The EBikes were so easy and comfortable to ride even for a 60 year old who had not been on a bike for years. Thanks David for a great day out and would highly recommend E Bikes Echuca The Symmons FamilyWritten 31 October 2023
- dj_dane3y0 contributionsLovely relaxing bike ride with David :)It was a lovely relaxing bike ride with David. He is very knowledgeable, who shared the history of Echuca - we stopped at a few spots for this. Chose the 3 hour bike ride to St Anne's vineyard. Did wine tasting and had a lovely sharing platter which had cheese, meat and dips. It was really good! You'll have to call the vineyard to book this in advance. Highly recommend to anyone who likes to take in the sights by biking. :)Written 8 October 2023

I enjoyed a beautiful day out riding in the fresh country air from Axedale to Bendigo - first time I've truely relaxed and done some genuine deep breathing in a really long time. I was a little worried that my un-fit self would struggle with the distance but the ebike was so easy to use and really made the whole experience much more enjoyable and achievable.
I highly recommend Green Pedal Cycles to absolutely anyone!

Having never ridden an E bike before we hired to try and very quickly with Davids expertise we purchased 2 fantastic bikes and have hardly missed a day of riding.
The chance to ride the O'Keeffe Rail Trail with David and Suzanna was a given.
What a fantastic day out. Bikes all loaded up here in Echuca and a lovely group of us hit the trail which is only an hours drive from here.
Totally suited to all levels of riders, stopping to rehydrate and snack (so caring and thoughtful) and David giving us a history lesson as well. What a bonus!
Yummy lunch stop in Bendigo. Good choice guys.
An awesome day out and can't wait to do more rides with David and Suzanna...the Perfect hosts !!
Thankyou once again.

Riding the O'Keefe Rail Trail on my E-Bike for the first time with David & Suzanna of Green Pedal Cycles was one of the most memorable times of 2023 for me! Being an Echuca person, David kindly picked up my E-Bike the night before and took it to our starting point at Axedale, so that was one less thing to think about. On arrival at our starting point Suzanna greeted us with coffee & cookies, David ensured that everyone was well prepared with the correct equipment & how to use an E-bike if people were new to this style of riding, we all introduced ourselves & off we went! It was a magnificent day & you couldn't ask for better weather. David ensured that we were all briefed on the types of terrain that we would be riding & how to ride to it if we were unsure. This ride is achievable for most fitness levels. We stop several times for water breaks, photos & little history snippets that David shared along the way, we were lucky another rider had baked the most delicious choc chip cookies to share. The scenery was magnificent, paddocks, farms, open plains, riding past Lake Eppalock, it was easy riding & a lot of the time we could ride side by side with another rider & chat along the way. We had a lovely lunch at Heathcote & enjoyed the journey home. It was a magic day, meeting new people, learning new skills & learning about the land & country that we live in. Thanks so much to David & Suzanna for an amazing day. I'll definitely come along again!

This electric bike ride was absolutely brilliant and I loved every minute of it. David was a brilliant guide and very responsive and caring to our needs. The coffee and cookie upon arrival was very well received, especially when travelling approximately 1 1/2 hours from Melbourne. It's suitable for any fitness level and we rode at a very comfortable pace where people were able to connect with others. I can't wait to do this ride again and would highly recommend!

A 'not to be missed' experience, the O'Keefe Rail Trail ride was sensational. We did not know about it until introduced through Green Pedal Guided E-Bike tours! Easy, safe, gently undulating terrain made the ride for us as first timers! The bikes were super comfortable and David and Suzanna's expertise and great support made the day. The cuppa and cake to get things rolling were just the right touch. We highly recommend this activity and, knowing that you are in such great hands and with other like minded intrepid newbies, you will not be disappointed with a trek on the O'Keefe Rail Trail with Green Pedal!

Coffee and cookie upon arrival was very well received, especially after 1.5-hour trip from Melbourne. The ride is suitable for all fitness levels. We rode at a comfortable pace allowing all riders to stay in close proximity with each other.
David and Susanna are great guides and very responsive and caring to everyone's needs.
David is very knowledgeable of electric bikes and willing to pass on information.
Great way to test out pedal assisted electric bikes.

I did this ride yesterday and enjoyed every aspect of the trip. It was a necessity for me to learn how to ride a e bike Barry and Suzanne gave me the confidence to make the next few weeks a pleasant experience. I loved the country and the length of the trip. Recommend any person thinking of a e bike tour do this ride you get the experience you need.
Will do this ride again even if I do not have a ebike as it was such a great ride. If you had a visitor from another country this would be an amazing experience of our country and one, they would not forget.

Green Pedal is the way to go, when it comes to Ebike riding in Bendigo and Echuca. David and Suzanna run an amazing riding tour, caring about the small things as well... A nice coffee and cake starts off your tour in Axedale... A nice, friendly and hospitable touch!
The rides themselves in both directions provide plenty of great scenery and are accessible by any skill level.
I have done two Green Pedal bike rides now and am already looking at a third!

What a great review - thank you so much! We are loving that so many customers do 1 Rail Trail tour, and then book another one the other direction. The scenery is always changing and never disappoints! We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

It’s hard to choose just one experience. The entire day was so great. We were a small group of 5 (7) including David and Suzannah. There were small stops along the way with David informing us of the history along the way. Lunch in Heathcote was fabulous which gave us a little time to relax before our return trip. David and Suzannah are the perfect hosts, with looking out for each person and making sure everyone is comfortable along the way. Certainly an experience you should do at least once.
