Are e-bikes legal in Tasmania?

Yes. All pedal-assist e-bikes up to 250W and 25 km/h assistance are legal in Tasmania.

How far can an e-bike go in Hobart?

Most riders get 50–120 km depending on hills, wind, weight and mode. Larger 600–800Wh batteries provide excellent range for local terrain.

What mountain bike is best for Tasmanian trails?

Trail and enduro bikes with 140–170mm travel and strong 4-piston brakes are ideal for Meehan Range, Glenorchy and Derby.

How often should I service my bike?

We recommend servicing every 6 months or 500 km, with more frequent checks for e-MTBs or heavily ridden bikes.

Do you service Bosch and Shimano e-bikes?

Yes. We perform diagnostics, firmware updates and battery checks on Bosch, Shimano and other major e-bike systems.

What size bike do I need?

Bike size depends on height, reach and riding style. Visit Ride Bellerive for an in-store measurement and professional fit.

Recently got in touch with these guys for a part I wanted to purchase. They were friendly and courteous throughout. Given the nature of my query/purchase, I spoke with Ben, Simon and Titch who were all great and progressed my query for me. Great service!
