Morning light skims the Murray as you clip into an e-bike on Murray Esplanade. The river dares you to keep pace with paddle steamers as they slip past the Port of Echuca; the town hums with timber wharves and the creak of a working riverfront. An electric assist gives a quiet confidence that turns long river loops into easy excursions.
