What you'll see
Echuca Moama is a perfect cycling destination – it’s flat, there’s beautiful scenery and the weather is generally great! And, our E-bikes make cycling more accessible, as you can use a little ‘electric’ assistance to take out the hard work. Our e-bikes are comfortable to ride, and the seat height will be adjusted to suit each individual rider.
There are multiple tracks and trails that you can explore with a half day e-bike hire. We recommend cycling the Echuca Scenic Trail, riding to St Anne's Winery or Three Black Sheep cafe in Moama. Discover the Moama Wharf and Horseshoe Lagoon and enjoy the stunning river views.
Cycle through the historic Port of Echuca, and stop by at Riverboat Dock. Explore the Campaspe walking/cycling track for views of the Campaspe River.
Other options include riding the river tracks in the Banuyle Forest or taking a picnic to enjoy some time by the river watching the Paddle Steamers as they cruise the Murray.
We provide a map to help you plan your half day hire. The options are endless!
