Everything you need before you ride

Prices depend on the ride and hire length. Pedal bikes are $25 a day or $80 a week. Segway e-scooters and S-Max are $30 a day or $80 a week. Delivery e-bike weekly plans vary by contract length; the booking page shows the live total before payment.

Our Delivery e-bikes can be hired from 1 week: $75 a week for 1–2 weeks, $70 a week for 3 weeks; from 4 weeks it drops to $65, from 8 weeks to $59.99, from 12 weeks to $49.99 and from 18 weeks to $42.80 a week. You pay the first week and the refundable deposit when you book, then rent is charged weekly. If you only need a bike for a few days, hire a Premium EMTB by the day or a Segway e-scooter instead.

Yes. Our Premium EMTBs (electric mountain bikes) can be hired by the day for $59 a day, for 1 to 6 days, from our Indooroopilly workshop, one minute from Indooroopilly Station. From 7 days they are $150 a week at any hire length. They suit Mt Coot-tha, the river paths and the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail. A helmet and lock are included, and you can book online with live availability.

No. Visitors and temporary visa holders can hire. For an e-bike or e-scooter, every rider must be 16+ and bring a valid driver licence; learner, interstate and overseas licences count, and a passport does not replace it. For pedal-bike hire, bring a driver licence or passport. Tourist and Working Holiday visa holders hiring an e-bike may need an additional deposit at pick-up; we confirm it before handover.

Our workshop is at 5/8 Lambert Road, Indooroopilly QLD 4068 — a one-minute walk from Indooroopilly train station and a short ride from UQ St Lucia and Toowong. The shop is open Monday to Friday 10am–4pm and Saturday 10am–2pm. Rental pickup is Monday to Friday from 11am and before 3pm, and Saturday from 11am and before 1:30pm. Return drop-off is Monday to Saturday 10am–10:30am. We’re closed Sundays and Queensland public holidays. Call, text or WhatsApp us on 0481 401 678.

Every hire includes a sanitised helmet, a bike lock and chain, head and tail lights, a robust bike stand and a phone holder.

Range depends on which model you hire — our 20″ folding Delivery e-bikes offer an estimated 50km per charge, while our Premium EMTBs offer 75km+. All models are serviced monthly and fitted with high-power lithium batteries. Actual range depends on rider and luggage weight, how much you pedal, hills, pedal-assist level and general bike maintenance like tyre pressure and brake clearance.

The person hiring must be 18 or over. Every e-bike and e-scooter rider must be at least 16 and hold a valid driver licence (learner or higher); interstate and overseas licences count. Bring that licence to pickup. For a pedal bike, bring a driver licence or passport. Whatever you ride, follow Queensland’s road rules and wear a helmet. See the official e-bike rules and e-scooter rules.

Yes, from 31 August 2026. To hire and ride an e-bike in Queensland, you must be at least 16 and hold a valid driver licence; a learner licence counts and interstate and overseas licences are recognised. The person booking with us must be 18 or over. Other rules include wearing a helmet, 25km/h maximum motor assistance and 12km/h on footpaths and while passing pedestrians. General information, not legal advice: read our plain-English Queensland e-bike law guide and check the official Queensland e-bike rules.

Since 17 August 2026, delivery platforms in Australia must pay on-demand food delivery riders at least $31.30 per hour of engaged time on a bicycle or e-bike. If your earnings fall short over an earnings period (up to 21 days), the platform has to top you up. The rate rises by $0.50 an hour from 1 January 2027. At the Fair Work minimum of $31.30 per engaged hour, our 18-week rent of $42.80 a week equals under 1.5 hours of paid delivery time. That is not a promise of earnings. Our free rider app’s Fair Pay Check compares each delivery app’s pay with the minimum. General information, not advice: read the Fair Work announcement.

On a student visa (condition 8105) you can work 48 hours per fortnight while your course is in session, and that counts all your paid work together, delivery included. In official course breaks the limit doesn’t apply. Our free rider app has a Study Hours Guard that tracks your fortnight on your phone and keeps it private. General information, not migration advice: check the Home Affairs student visa page.

You can end any hire early. For delivery e-bike contracts longer than 2 weeks, a flat $100 contract termination fee is deducted from the security deposit if the hire ends before the booked term. There is no extra week of rent. One- and two-week delivery plans have no termination fee. Want to stay longer instead? You can extend anytime in the free rider app. On plans shorter than 18 weeks, your next 2 weeks are free after 12 ridden and paid weeks.

Yes. A second battery for a Delivery e-bike is $45 a week, charged with your rent. You can add one in the free rider app or at pick-up. Riders on long shifts often keep the spare charging at home and swap it in halfway through. The app’s Battery coach helps you get the most range from each charge.

Public-road compliance is checked model by model before handover. Our established NCM public-use fleet uses 250W pedal-assist setups that cut assistance at 25km/h. Incoming and pre-owned bikes are not described as road legal until their fitted compliance label and public-use settings have been checked. On footpaths, and when passing pedestrians on shared paths, the limit is 12km/h.

Inclusions depend on the ride. Delivery e-bikes include a helmet, lock and chain, lights and phone holder. Premium EMTBs include a helmet and lock. Pedal bikes include a helmet and lock. Segway hires include a helmet and charger. Your booking summary shows the exact inclusions before payment.

A full charge takes around 5 hours. If you've only used a small amount of the battery, a top-up charge will naturally take less time.

No — they're not loud at all. Our e-bikes run silently.

Yes, the battery can be removed in seconds using your key to unlock it from the frame — handy for charging indoors or extra security.

Very little — a full charge typically costs somewhere between 10 and 40 cents in electricity at Queensland household rates, depending on the size of the battery.

A valid driver licence (learner or higher; interstate and overseas licences count) and the credit or debit card you’ll use for weekly payments. The person hiring must be 18 or over.

Every online booking has one $100 refundable deposit. Tourist and Working Holiday visa holders hiring an e-bike may need an additional deposit at pick-up; we confirm the amount before handover.

Book online for an immediate total and confirmation. To change or cancel, contact us as soon as possible by phone, text or WhatsApp. Refunds and early-exit charges depend on the hire stage and plan; the booking summary and rental terms show the exact rules before payment.

Yes. Test rides are available during opening hours at our Indooroopilly workshop. Contact us first so we can confirm an appropriate bike is ready.

You agree to return the bike at the date and time in your rental agreement; a short grace period applies for lateness. Delivery e-bike contracts longer than 2 weeks have a flat $100 contract termination fee if ended before the booked term. It is deducted from the security deposit; there is no extra week of rent. Talk to us in advance if your plans change and we’ll do our best to work with you.

You’re responsible for the bike and its accessories for the length of your rental. Wear-and-tear labour is free while you hire (you pay only for parts like a $28 puncture tube or $35 brake pads); damage and misuse are charged at our workshop prices. Full details are set out in your rental agreement, provided when you book — get in touch and we’ll talk you through it.

You should have your own accident and liability insurance in place. Brisbane Bike Rental is not responsible for injury, loss or damage arising from your use of a hired bicycle — ride safely and within your ability.

Compliance is checked model by model, not assumed across the fleet. Our established NCM public-use bikes use 250W pedal-assist setups that cut assistance at 25km/h. Incoming and pre-owned bikes are released or described as road legal only after their fitted compliance label and public-use settings have been checked. Higher-power or throttle-only configurations may be restricted to private property.

Yes. If you buy an e-bike from us within 4 weeks of starting your hire, 50% of eligible rent paid comes off the purchase price, up to $250. Just ask us at purchase and we'll apply the credit.

Yes. Share your code from the app — when your friend picks up and pays their first week, $25 comes off your next week.

Yes — and there’s nothing special to sign up for. On plans shorter than 18 weeks, after your first 12 weeks with us are ridden and paid, your next 2 weeks are free automatically. On a 12-week plan that’s 14 weeks of riding for the price of 12. The discounted 18-week plan does not stack with this one-time bonus.
