  We had a great day out on the e-bike we hired from Switched On.

I hired the e-bike with seat/carrier at the back and a bike rack for... read more a full day. $75 bike + $45 rack.

The car trip:
The bike rack fit easily onto the tow bar and carried another adult mountain bike.

The ride:
I put my 5yr old and a picnic lunch bag on the seat at the back and off we went! The bike also has a giant basket at the front so plenty of space to carry what we needed for the day.

There are a few different functions for
how much electric assistance comes through when you are peddling. Off, Eco, Tour, Sport, Turbo - in increasing level of e-assistance.

The bike is long and has a big turning circle for a 360 turn when you are riding,
so you need space to turn around- unless you are in a tight spot and you can hop off and lift the back end round which is also possible. I just had to get my 5yr old to hop off if I did that in a tight spot.

When riding, it is easy to balance and steer, the electric assistance comes in gently so it doesn't jolt or lurch at all. There are gears on one side like a normal bike so they also assist like on a normal bike ride.

All in all the bike was great! Super easy to ride and manoeuvre and had no trouble taking an extra 7yr old on board when he got tired.

The bike did well on the uphill section (gentle) of the 18km. I mostly used ECO for me and 1 child, and TURBO on short steep sections and when I had 2 children on board. The battery was about half when we got back - 36kms.

Toward the end our 7yr old hitched on from his own mt bike - only do this if confident and based on your own capability. He figured it out in his own when he needed a boost.

Was a great family day out and I would do it again. I think we were the only e-bike on the trail and got a few comments.

We had a great picnic at the Summit and carried enough spare clothing without thinking too much about having to carry it all.

Would recommend this bike for a family day out if your kids are just a little too young to make the full journey on their own pedal power just yet.

  Nice bikes. Well organised. Nice trailer for the little one. Wehad a niceride out to the chocolate fish.
