What the Northern Rivers Rail Trail Like to Ride?

Most people underestimate how far the rail trail is. With a regular bike, it can feel like a workout. With an e-bike, it feels effortless.

Cruise through rainforest, farmland and tunnels with ease. Take in the scenery. Stop where you like. The motor assists your pedalling, so you can ride the full 48 km return — or just enjoy a shorter, relaxed ride.

The e-bike changes the ride from exercise into an experience.
