Brisbane Electric Mountain Bike Experience Tour

About this tour

Pedal through Brisbane's Mt Cootha trails on an electric mountain bike with Ben Forbes, a seasoned enduro racer and local guide. Over two hours, you'll cover far more terrain than walking allows, spot native wildlife, pick up genuine MTB techniques, and come away with professional shots of your ride. The electric assist means you can focus on trail craft and adventure rather than pure fitness.

• Learn MTB skills from enduro world series competitor
• Spot native Australian wildlife on singletrack
• Professional photos included of your session
• Suitable for all fitness levels and abilities

What to expect

You'll start with a brief orientation to your e-bike and safety gear, then head onto Mt Cootha's trails alongside Ben, who'll point out lines, braking zones and how to read the terrain. The electric motor takes the sting out of climbs, so you can stay fresh and engaged throughout. Expect a mix of flowing descents and technical sections; Ben adapts the pace and difficulty to your group's confidence. You'll stop at water fountains and facilities as needed. The focus is on fun and trail time rather than exhausting drill work.

Good to know

Bring water and wear shoes with grip. The e-bikes handle most fitness levels, but pregnancy isn't recommended due to impact and balance demands. Public transport reaches the area easily. Ben provides helmet and gloves; you just need to turn up ready to ride.
