Summer in Australia means long days, salty air, and endless excuses to get outside. And if you’ve got an e-bike, you’ve got the perfect companion for exploring more, sweating less, and discovering places you might have overlooked before.
Here at Bair Bikes, we’re lucky to call Torquay home, a town built for adventure, coastal breezes, and two-wheeled freedom. But whether you’re riding along the Surf Coast or planning a trip interstate, there are incredible e-bike-friendly routes waiting for you this summer.
Here are our top picks.
Locals Favourites: Torquay & the Surf Coast
Nothing beats riding an e-bike around our own backyard. From ocean views to off-road trails, Torquay gives you a little bit of everything.
1. The Surf Coast Walk (Torquay to Aireys Inlet)
An absolute must.
Smooth coastal paths, ocean cliffs, wildflowers, and that classic blue-water backdrop. E-bikes make the hills between Jan Juc and Bells Beach a breeze so you can focus on enjoying the scenery.
2. Torquay Foreshore to Barwon Heads
A relaxed ride with cafés, beaches, and plenty of spots to stop for a summer swim. The shared path runs close to the coast, making it ideal for a scenic, low-stress cruise.
3. Anglesea to Point Roadknight Loop
Short, beautiful, and great for new riders. Keep an eye out for kangaroos!
4. You Yangs Regional Park (a little inland, a lot of fun)
If you want to mix things up, the You Yangs offer fantastic off-road riding. Flow trails, rock gardens, and great views your e-bike will make the climbs feel effortless.
