Manly Self-Guided Bike Tour

The bikes were well maintained and worked wonderfully. The more important aspect was the friendluness and helfulness of the staff to provide great routes and help with setting up navigation. They went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed the experience and did NOT treat us just as a customer, but rather a friend.

Very rewarding experience one of the best ways to see the city. Our guide Matt was really informative and made the experience entertaining. Would highly recommend.

Very well managed bike hire… bikes were great. We choose e bikes but the cycle was flat and easy riding.. a lovely way to see Manley but too short … there was so much more to see but our time was limited

Really fun bike ride to the north in one day and down to the spit on the next. The maps are excellent, the bikes in great shape, the staff super friendly. We went for one day and then came back the next two days for different rides.

Great fun. Wonderful weather and fantastic views. Manly e-bikes was friendly efficient and thorough. We highly recommend them

We had made a reservation several weeks prior for an e-bike and a hybrid bike. When we got there the shop was very busy and we had to wait a while as there were only 2 guys working.
You check in online and then wait your turn.
A young boy came to help us and when we told him our name and he looked up our account, he told us there were no more hybrid bikes. I told him we had made a reservation and to please look again. There had been one put aside for us, so he found it and we were ready to go. I asked for and was given instruction on how to use the e-bike. We were given a map of the area, put on our helmets and off we went.
It wasn’t an easy ride until we got out of the few block commercial area as the ferries arrive at Manly Beach.
There were pedestrians everywhere,
We soon found a bike path and that was much easier. We followed the map along the bike path that was parallel to the beach and that was really nice. Once we got to North Beach the bike path ended. We turned down a residential street and worked our way back into the suburbs of Manly. It was nice to ride around the back streets and see the market places and restaurants that tourists may not see.
We rode for about 90 minutes and decided to head back and turn the bikes in.
You can rent bikes for 1 hour, 2 hours or all day. Prices were reasonable and the bikes were in good condition.

Great customer service, easy process. Very helpful in constructing self guided tour. Rented from them again and had same excellant experience

The guy at the bike shop was very helpful. I didn’t realize that this was not an e-bike rental. That was okay for the beach but going to North Heads was a real challenge.

We stayed in Manly for a week and on one of those days we hired excellent bikes from Manly bike hire. It was easy to find, the bikes were great, we were given a great suggestion as to where to ride and it allowed us to explore so much further. We were glad we chose ebikes as we are used to those at home and there are quite a few hills about!
We were surprised to learn that cycling on the pavement is expected here as in the UK it is not, but that gave us much more confidence.
I would agree with another reviewer that it is advisable to have a little practice before cycling off for the day as we needed a spanner to help adjust a seat in the end.

It was fun to bike around Narrabeen lake. Lovely spot in beautiful Sydney.

Having said that, the bikes we were given were old, with rusty chains, worn out tire tread and very squeaky breaks. The guys at the shop said that's the best they could do, since they just got a shipment of hybrid bikes that they had yet to build. Why did they allow us to book hybrid bikes if they didn't have any proper ones available? Ahh, the mysteries of life!

Everything was so easy and we had a blast. Staff exceeded expectations of helpfulness. I’d suggest you test your ebike before going far because one of our bikes was malfunctioning, but we called the shop and they rode a replacement bike out to us within 20 minutes.

Shop is convenient to ferry and has a wide selection of bikes. I opted for a full suspension mountain bike to ride nearby trails. Bike was in good condition and perfect for the local trails. Staff was friendly and attentive and had me riding in minimal time. I will definitely rent from them again and would recommend.

Great experience. Friendly and helpful staff. The bikes worked great and even as a triathlete, some hills would have been quite challenging without the electric assist. Great way to see the sights and have fun.

The bike hire process was so efficient and they were super helpful. The e-bikes were very comfortable and easy to maneuver. Thank you for giving us the personal touch of going through the map downloading process and then pointing out special spots along the way. If you want professional and superb service, visit these guys at Manly bikes.

A great experience to ride an Ebike up to North Head. Never had an opportunity to try out an Ebike and this was a great place to try. I highly encourage to experience riding around Manly to take in all the scenic views.

The bikes we hired were perfect for our adventure around Manly Dam.
The trails were fantastic and would recommend to anyone with a sense of adventure.

Very professional service and good bikes. The only thing I don’t get is why electric bikes are more expensive than a car to hire?
