South Georgian Bay has to offer, these bikes will get you there.

ZEBRA
Premium long range all terrain electric fat tire bike. With an electric car-grade battery that has 130 km range on a single charge and 960 watt hours, these are top specs on the e-bike market. With hydraulic disc brakes, your stopping distance is shorter and more responsive giving the rider more control. This bike is equipped with high luminosity headlights and tail lights, that alert others of braking.
ZEBRA STEP-THRU
With all of the same specs and features of the Zebra e-bike, this step-thru version provides a more comfortable and enjoyable riding experience for shorter riders.

RENTAL PROCESS
BOOK
A Seamless Experience
The entire rental process is contactless from start to finish. Through the online booking platform riders can choose the type of e-bike, the day and time of the ride and sign an electronic waiver. Prior to the ride, a unique PIN code will be sent with instructions on how to unlock the e-bike at the reserved time.
ENJOY
An Adventure Awaits
Upon arriving at the selected pickup location, riders will use the PIN code to unlock the reserved e-bike. Along with the e-bike, riders must take along the accompanying helmet (or be required to bring their own). The lock and chain will stay with the e-bike for the duration of the ride, allowing the rider to lock the e-bike at stops along the way.
RETURN
See You Again Soon
E-bikes will be returned at the same location in which they were picked up, along with the accompanying helmet. In order to help facilitate the next rental, e-bikes must be placed back in the assigned rack, plugged in, and locked through the frame. We hope you enjoyed your ride and look forward to seeing you on the trail again soon!

Over the years, we have had riders visit us eager to take in all of the sights, sounds, tastes, and greatness that South Georgian Bay has to offer. As we continue to colour in the map indicating where you have all come from, we are bridging the gap between provinces and states to showcase this great place we call home. Whether you have come from near or far, we thank you!
We also wanted to shout out our riders who travelled overseas from Australia, Bermuda, France, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, and the UK!

FAQ
WHERE CAN I START MY RIDE?
Our current pickup locations are in Collingwood, Creemore, and The Blue Mountains. We have plans to expand to additional locations soon! Specific address details are made available upon booking.
HOW DO I BOOK A RENTAL?
Head to the top of the page under "Book Now" and choose your starting location. From there, choose your preferred date, time, duration, and type of e-bike and continue to the check out page.
HOW DO I KNOW WHICH E-BIKE TO CHOOSE?
While all e-bikes can accommodate all riders, the step-thru models are designed with a lower crossbar and tend to be the preferred choice among our shorter riders.
CAN I TAKE THESE E-BIKES ON THE GEORGIAN TRAIL?
These e-bikes are equipped with pedal assist. While the e-bikes are in this mode, or while they are used strictly with standard pedalling, they are allowed on the trails. It is vital that you follow the safety guidelines set out by each trail, as well as the rules of the road as per the MTO.
ARE CHILDREN ALLOWED ON THESE E-BIKES?
The legal age limit to ride an e-bike in Ontario is 16 years old. All renters must sign an electronic waiver prior to riding, and therefore must be 18 years of age to rent and sign. If you are an adult parent/guardian looking to ride with your 16 or 17 year old dependent, you must sign the waiver on their behalf, and upload proof of their age. Anyone 16 or 17 years old looking to rent an e-bike must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, and the adult must be the one who books the rental.
WHAT IF IT RAINS ON THE DAY OF MY RENTAL?
Safety is our top priority! In the event of inclement weather on the day you are booked to ride, you can choose to move your rental to an alternate day/time (dependent on e-bike availability) or receive a refund.
WHERE CAN I PARK MY CAR WHEN I RENT AN E-BIKE?
All of our rental locations have on-site parking. Specific parking instructions are sent out with the booking confirmation and reminder emails, outlining where to park dependent on the pick-up location of your choosing.
CAN I RENT OR USE A CHILD/PET CARRIER WITH THESE E-BIKES?
Unfortunately, we do not rent out or permit the use of any carrier on these e-bikes.
HOW DO THESE E-BIKES WORK?
There are three options for riders. When the electric power is off, you will need to pedal to move forward. When the power is on, it provides support for riding through assisted cycling. There are 5 levels of pedal assist. When the power is on and the right-hand throttle is rotated, there is no need for pedalling.
IS A HELMET REQUIRED ON AN E-BIKE?
As per Ontario law, helmets must be worn at all times while operating an e-bike. You may choose to bring your own for your rental period, otherwise one will be provided to you.
DO I NEED A LICENCE TO OPERATE AN E-BIKE?
No, you are not required to have a driver’s licence in order to operate an e-bike. However, all renters must be able to upload a picture of valid photo ID that indicates proof of age.
HOW LONG DOES THE BATTERY LAST?
The e-bike range on a fully charged battery is about 100 km, through a combination of power and pedalling.
HOW FAST DO THESE E-BIKES GO?
These e-bikes can go 32 km/h.
CAN I BUY AN E-BIKE?
Yes! We are an authorized dealer of Himiway E-Bikes. Send us an email or fill out the Contact Us form below and someone will get back to you shortly.
