If you've ever explored Torquay by bike, you'll know why it's one of Australia's best coastal towns for cycling. With scenic beachfront paths, quiet backroads and easy access to the Surf Coast, it's the perfect place to enjoy the freedom of an electric bike.
An eBike allows you to ride further, tackle hills with ease and spend more time enjoying the journey. Whether you're commuting, exercising or simply heading out for a weekend adventure, here are some of our favourite rides around Torquay.
