Why E-mountain bikes are the best way to explore the Adelaide Hills!

If you’ve ever thought about exploring the stunning trails around Adelaide but felt a bit daunted by the hills or distances involved, it might be time to jump on an e-bike. At Escapegoat Adventures, we’re big believers that e-bikes open up a whole new world of possibilities — making mountain biking more accessible, more fun, and even more adventurous.
What’s So Great About E-Bikes?
E-bikes, or electric bikes, come with a small electric motor that assists your pedalling. They’re not motorbikes — you still have to pedal — but they give you that extra boost when you need it. This means you can tackle bigger rides, steeper hills, and longer distances without feeling exhausted.
Perfect for Adelaide’s Hilly Terrain
The Adelaide Hills are famous for their stunning scenery, but all those rolling hills can be a real workout. E-bikes let you enjoy the breathtaking climbs and scenic views without dreading the uphill battles. Whether you’re exploring Belair National Park, Craigburn Farm, or the rugged Sturt Gorge, an e-bike gives you the freedom to enjoy more of the trail and less of the grind.
Ideal for All Fitness Levels
One of the best things about e-bikes is that they level the playing field. Got a group with mixed fitness levels? No worries — everyone can stick together and enjoy the ride without anyone feeling left behind. They’re also a great option for older riders or those recovering from injuries who still want to experience the outdoors.
See More, Do More
Because you’re less physically taxed, you can cover more ground in a day. That means you can combine a ride through the trails with visits to local wineries, cafes, and breweries — like on our McLaren Vale Bike and Wine Tour! E-bikes open up the chance for bigger adventures, all without leaving you wiped out.
Self-Guided E-Bike Tours – Freedom and Flexibility
Want to ride at your own pace? Our self-guided e-bike tours are the perfect option! When you hire an e-bike with Escapegoat Adventures, we also provide you with a preloaded GPS unit featuring 10 carefully curated ride options. These routes vary in distance and difficulty, covering everything from relaxed scenic loops with winery stop offs, to more adventurous trail rides.
This means you can pick the ride that suits you best, set off whenever you’re ready, and explore Adelaide’s stunning trails independently but with the confidence of a professionally planned route. It’s your adventure, your way — with a little extra support from us.
