Scenic, relaxing ride with views and wine tasting. Had a fantastic day out. Great scenery, lovely riding, saw some wildlife and then enjoyed a scenic wine tasting lunch. Also found an ice cream at the orchard to finish the day.

About Our E-Mountain Bikes
Our E-MTBs are great quality, pedal-assist bikes, with great brakes, and 10-speed or 11 speed gearing. Most are fun hardtails which are perfect for rolling around the Adelaide Hills. Our delux hardtails and up are all Bosch powered with a range of up to 100km, so you shouldn’t run out of power either! We also have some brilliant cube and focus dual suspension e-bikes if you really want some fun!
These pedal-assist-powered bikes have 5 levels of power that is only given when you pedal, so it boosts your efforts, making pedaling easy. They cut out power when you get to speeds of 25km, but you can still obviously go downhill much faster!

Fantastic day, so much fun. We did the self-guided e-bike tour to Tapanappa winery and had the BEST day. Definitely more appropriate for intermediate riders rather than beginners, but a great way to explore the Adelaide Hills and enjoy stunning views from the summit of Mt Lofty. Thanks to Ian and team for looking after us.
Outstanding day tour on a bike with stunning views, amazing food and wines. Ian was outstanding, informative, encouraging, relaxed and fun. The bikes were excellent. The riding was perfect for a wine tour. The winery’s we visited were outstanding and very welcoming. This tour was a highlight of our trip to Adelaide. Thank you Ian for an amazing day. Brad and Linda.
