What to expect
You'll meet at Healesville Train Station at 3pm, receive a safety briefing and hop on your e-bike. The next three hours take you through the region's notable spots — the motor assist means hills are manageable and you can chat as you ride. Your guide delivers information about Healesville's history in a conversational, humorous style. At three points along the route, you'll have the option to stop for wine or gin tastings (additional cost applies). After the ride winds up, you'll head to Healesville Hotel for your reserved private dining space. You'll start with a welcome drink, work through shared starters, pick your main from a set menu, then finish with dessert or similar. Drinks beyond the welcome serve cost extra.

Good to know
This suits couples and solo travellers new to the area who want a social, active introduction to Healesville on their first Friday evening — the public departures are built for meeting like-minded people. You'll need reasonable balance and bike confidence; e-assist does the heavy work, but you're still pedalling and steering. Not suitable if you're under 155cm, over 130kg, have spinal injuries, or poor cardiovascular fitness. The e-bikes and dinner are included; wine, gin and extra drinks are not. Peak time is Friday at 3pm — expect a group atmosphere. Six hours total, so plan to finish around 9pm. Healesville Train Station is accessible by public transport.
