About this tour
When Charlie from our BugBitten team hired an e-bike in Narooma, two hours proved just right to explore the South Coast town and its surrounds without the slog. The e-bikes let you cruise the flat cycle track toward Dalmeny or potter through town at your own pace, stopping to soak in the coast and actually catch your breath. It's low-key, self-guided stuff — good for a morning or arvo break if you're passing through, and the electric assist means you're not wrestling a heavy machine uphill.
Highlights
- E-assist handles the donkey work — no leg-burning climbs
- Two hours is perfect for the Narooma–Dalmeny track without rushing
- Flat terrain suits casual riders and scenic stop-starts
- Helmet and bike included; no faffing with extra gear hire
- Self-guided freedom — wander the route that suits you
- South Coast scenery at a pace where you can actually look around
What to expect
Charlie set off with the e-bike and helmet sorted, and headed straight for the cycle track toward Dalmeny — the obvious route and dead flat, which meant the motor did most of the work. Two hours gives you enough runway to ride out, have a breather and a look around, and ride back without racing the clock. The e-bikes are genuinely heavy machines, so there's a learning curve on the first few metres, but once you're rolling, the assist kicks in and it feels effortless.
Narooma itself is quiet, pretty, and geared more toward fishing and long lunches than tourist crowds. The track is scenic without being dramatic — mangroves, water views, low-key stops. If you're after a quick active detour between other South Coast stops, this works. Just don't expect white-knuckle thrills or mountain terrain.

Good to know
This is ideal if you want to explore Narooma without petrol-head guilt or sweating through your shirt. E-assist levels the playing field for anyone not training for the Tour de France, and two hours is a realistic window to see something without it feeling like a chore.
E-bikes are heavy — they're not for kids under 12, and if you've got spinal issues or a dodgy ticker, it's not the one. You'll want decent shoes and sunscreen; there's bugger-all shade on the track itself. Practicalities: bring your own water, wear comfortable gear, slap on the SPF before you go. Peak times (weekends, school hols) might mean shorter availability, so book ahead. The track is flat and well-marked, but you're self-guided — no tour guide yak.
