Operated by Better By Bike AU · South Murwillumbah, New South Wales
Just south of the Gold Coast in New South Wales lies the lush and diverse Tweed Valley hinterland, a region marked by rolling farmland, dense native rainforests, and a surprising slice of history—a 524-meter-long abandoned rail tunnel. Better By Bike AU’s E-Bike Hire from Mooball unlocks access to this verdant landscape with the assistance of premium European electric bikes, designed to deliver an effortless, immersive outdoor experience.
Starting at Mooball, a quaint rural hamlet known for its dairy farms and relaxed rhythms, you’ll receive a thorough briefing on your e-bike’s controls, safety protocols, and local trail etiquette. The ride itself carries you through varied terrain, from shaded rainforest corridors to sweeping valley views. The highlight is the journey through the 19th-century rail tunnel—a cool, shadowy passage that contrasts with the vibrant surroundings. Equipped with powerful lights and waterproof panniers, you’ll navigate this relic with ease, feeling the hum of the e-bike assist as you glide along the old tracks.
Better By Bike AU provides everything needed for a seamless day: helmets, maps, phone holders, sunscreen, and on-trail support, paired with curated local tips for sights and stops along the route. Riders can spin the loop back to Mooball or opt for a one-way 24km journey dropping off bikes at Murwillumbah Railway Station, with a return shuttle option simplifying logistics.
This e-bike hire offers an eco-friendly gateway to one of NSW’s less explored natural treasures, blending history, nature, and modern cycling tech for a uniquely approachable adventure. For visitors seeking to enjoy Australia’s hinterland without the sweat of hill climbs or vehicle emissions, Better By Bike AU makes for an ideal choice—delivering an unforgettable experience framed by the region’s rich landscapes and quiet charm.
