The Canberra Electric Bike Library

Operated by SEE Change and Switched on Cycles, and supported by the ACT Government.

Welcome to the The Canberra Electric Bike Library

Want to reduce your carbon footprint, save money and increase your physical and mental health? Don’t enjoy riding somewhere and arriving covered in sweat? Need a hand carrying those bulky items? Tired of looking and paying for parking?

Try an electric bike and discover a new lifestyle!
Carrying bulky items is easy and fun with the different types of cargo style electric bikes on offer in our Library.

See below for the full list of bikes. Included are cargo style bikes for carrying kids, groceries and anything else in your busy lifestyle, as well as normal electric bikes for commuting and errands. The bikes come fitted with accessories such as child seats, panniers, lights and locks so that you’re all set to carry what you need.

We can guide you in finding a bike to borrow that suits your needs and let you know which bikes are available at any point in time. Bikes are available to borrow for 14 days, without charge except for a small fee for insurance. Bikes are available to borrow on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from Downer, and Fridays from Kambah. For more information, have a read through this pre-loan information pack.

Insurance

Loans of our bikes are free, but you will need to purchase insurance.

When borrowing a bike from us, you must be covered by Pedal Power insurance. The easiest (and cheapest) way to do this is by becoming a Pedal Power member (available here). Please ensure that you provide us with your membership number so we can ensure you’re covered!

View Pedal Power's Summary of Insurance Cover and check the Pedal Power website for more details.

Waiting Times

We’ve recently added more bikes to our fleet, which is resulting in reductions in our wait time. At the moment, bikes are generally booked out one month in advance, although this varies from model to model.
