Bike Rental Information

We want all our eMountain Bike riders to have an awesome adventure. With many different trails for varying abilities, there is something for everyone - The Indigo EPIC, Rail Trail network, Gravel or a leisure ride around the town of Beechworth.

Riding surface

The riding surface on the trails, paths and backroads varies between tarmac, firm but loose gravel, sealed gravel, hardpacked trail and occasionally soft mud and huge puddles. To safely enjoy any of the suggested rides you need to be comfortable riding a bike on uneven terrain and within your ability.

Cycling Concierge

If you've hired one of our eMountain Bikes, booked a shuttle then our cycling concierge will be at OBG to meet you for the start and finish of your adventure.

The cycling concierge will ensure you:

  • Are comfortable on your bike,
  • Have all of the equipment you will need for a safe and enjoyable ride,
  • Suggest directions for your Indigo EPIC or Rail Trail adventure, and
  • Keep an eye out for the points of interest during your ride.

The cycling concierge is available via the OBG contact details between 9am-4pm to troubleshoot any issues.

When to arrive

If you've hired one of our eMountain Bikes we recommend you arrive on time to maximise your riding time. The Gaol gates open at 9.00am and close at 4.00pm.

Clothing and shoes

We recommend suitable clothing for your ride, but to enjoy your day we suggest:

  • Padded bike pants. Whilst you can get through your ride no worries without them, you are on a bike, with a bike seat, for a few hours...
  • Cycling gloves. Light cycling gloves for riding comfort, warmer ones if it's a cooler day.
  • Flat-soled runners or trail-walking shoes. Our hire bikes have flat pedals.
  • Cycling-appropriate clothing. Loose clothing will flap around or get caught in your bike.
  • Weather-appropriate clothing. Beechworth weather can be changeable so check the forecast and be ready to adjust on the day. Remember to be SunSmart on warmer days.

Snacks and water

Drinking water is hard to find as soon as you leave town. Please bring your own cycling bottles or hydration backpack, which you can fill with water at the Gaol before you leave. We recommend you carry at least 700ml of water, more on longer rides.

How many snacks you carry is up to you, but you can't beat a little pit stop or two on a ride no matter where you are. We recommend carrying a muesli bar or two, a banana and a gel on medium rides and pack something more substantial on longer ones.

Terms of Hire

When you book an OBG bike tour you must accept our Terms of Hire when you make your booking. A refundable $200 deposit, per bike, is payable upon arrival.
