Boroondara e-Bike Library

Our new e-Bike Library gives you the chance to try an e-bike for free. If you're a Boroondara resident, you can borrow an e-bike for 2 weeks to see if it suits your lifestyle.

The trial program begins on 28 July 2025 and will run for 18 months. 

Where and when to borrow an e-bike

You can borrow an e-bike from one of our partner neighbourhood houses during the following stages.

Bookings for Stage 2 are now open.

Who can participate

To participate you must:

• live in Boroondara
• be over 18 years of age
• know how to ride a bike competently and have your own helmet
• understand and sign a legal waiver
• be insured through Bicycle Network’s bike riding insurance. Our neighbourhood house staff will help you set this up.

Why participate 

By choosing to ride an e-bike for short trips, you’ll contribute to a greener, more sustainable future. Using e-bikes is fun, easy and can be a great choice for:

• travelling to work
• taking children to kindergarten, preschool or primary school
• going to the shops
• exploring local destinations
• physical activity and recreation
• getting outside in nature. 

They also benefit older adults because they require less physical effort than a non-electric bike. 

In line with Victorian standards, the e-bike has a motor that does not provide power at speeds higher than 25km/h.
