ELECTRIC bikes are fast becoming a common sight around Noosa and Ecotekk on Noosa River believes the fun and ease of travel on the electric bikes is something all locals and visitors will enjoy experiencing.
Noosa Today was invited to try these Fat Boys out and surprisingly, it was so easy, the kids were riding circles around the adults!
Ecotekk have 17 electric bikes in the fleet, including seven of the very cool ‘fat-boys’ as well as seven other styles – a bike to suit everybody.
With the use of pedal-assist each bike will reach approximately 27km/h and has a battery capacity of between 40-80km/h.
No matter what your fitness level, the bikes are surprisingly simple to use without much effort.
With Noosa Electric Bikes, visitors can have an environmentally friendly, stress free travel alternative to beat annoying traffic and parking issues.
It can also enhance their experience and local knowledge by the different tours available.
Bowie Harris, 9, said it felt like he was riding a smooth motorbike when he turned the throttle on.
Riders can cover some huge kilometres on these bikes as they really do just effortlessly glide along and with traffic gridlock in many of our favourite areas at this time of year, these bikes can fly around the cars and straight into a bike rack.
Noosa Today recommends the small wheeler for kids, probably over 10 and welcomes the greener and easier option for getting around Noosa as a clever and easy alternative to tackling traffic and parking.
