Looking for a thrilling adventure that takes you through some of the most beautiful landscapes in South East Queensland? Look no further than @ecoTekkSC, your go-to choice for renting high-quality mountain e-bikes to explore the region’s incredible rail trails.
Our sub-tropical backyard is the perfect setting for an unforgettable biking experience. From the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail to the Kilkivan to Kingaroy Rail Trail, there are plenty of options to choose from, each with its own unique features and sights to see.
The Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, Australia’s longest recreational rail trail, covers a distance of 161km from Wulkuraka to Yarraman, following the old railway line that was originally built in the 1880s to transport timber, milk, and beef. Along the way, you’ll encounter wild rural landscapes, historic landmarks, and picturesque country towns.
For a different kind of adventure, the Kilkivan to Kingaroy Rail Trail takes you through farmland and bushland, with plenty of opportunities to stop for a cuppa and soak up some local history.
One trail that’s not to be missed is the Ewen Maddock Dam Trail, named after an early European settler and local pioneer. This trail follows the banks of the dam and is designed with beginners in mind, making it a great choice for families or anyone looking for a leisurely ride. You can combine this with the Dularcha National Park Trail making a loop that passes through Mooloolah, where you can enjoy a break with delicious food and drinks at Jones Street Kitchen.
As you pedal through blackbutt forests, fern gullies, and melaleuca wetlands, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to stop and soak up the stunning views of the dam and Mount Beerwah towering over the landscape in the distance. Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife, both in the trees and in the waters of the dam.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, our e-bikes are designed to handle any trail you encounter, making your ride both exhilarating and safe. And with South East Queensland being beautiful one day, and perfect the next, there’s no better time to get out and explore the rail trails of South East Queensland.
