eBike tour
Thanks Shayne for a fantastic tour yesterday. We dropped in for a couple of tastings at some beautiful wineries. The region is perfect to take in on bikes as it is so picturesque and the wineries are close together. We finished off with lunch overlooking the vines. There were 7 of us and we all found the bikes easy to use and great on the hills.

Easy riding family fun
We hired bikes for 3 adults and 3 boys aged 15, 12 and 11 and all easily managed to ride these eBikes around to various wineries after picking them up from the McLaren Vale visitor center. They're quality bikes and we had zero issues with them, riding up some serious hills was very manageable even for those of us who aren't regular riders. Shayne was easy to deal with and we would recommend this business to anyone thinking of trying an eBike winery tour.

Best fun on two wheels
Had an amazing day in Willunga and McLaren Vale discovering the vineyards and wineries with friends. Shane made it all very easy, dropping the bikes off at our accommodation and picking them up late in the afternoon. Nothing was too much trouble. The area is beautiful, the wine great and the locals friendly. Highly recommend.

In the top 10 experiences in my life
Amazing way to see the McLaren Vale and Port Noarlunga to Moana beaches. Hills are a breeze on the eBikes. Fantastic service from Shayne & Rachel with a drop off and pick up service from our accommodation. We rode from Port Noarlunga with breaky at Duke's Moana. Then to Willunga on the bike paths, visited Battle of Bosworth, The Salopian Inn for Karena’s dumpling and pork buns which are legendary oh and the summer gin cocktail. Then onto The Never Never gin distillery for a relaxing gin in the sunshine. Followed up with a trip to the cube to see the Salvador Dali Art and of course the cube itself. Then a sunset ride home along the esplanade's bike path. Top 10 life experiences!!

Highly recommended.
Excellent service from Shayne at SA eBikes. The first day we had them booked the weather was terrible and Shayne contacted us to discuss options. Delivery and collection were seamless. Highly recommended.
