Highlights
Fremantle must be the most perfect location for an electric bike tour in Australia, with an abundance of bike lanes, leafy streets and history. The other thing about Fremantle is that it is relatively spread out, so to see all of the sites and get an appreciation of the area you really need a bike. Perth Electric Bike Tours is run in conjunction with our shop Perth Electric Bikes, right in the heart of Freo at the corner of Adelaide and Point streets. This means that we have an a large selection of new and perfectly maintained electric bikes and all the appropriate safety gear. Riding an electric bike is as easy as riding a regular bike, but without the effort, any level of fitness can do this tour.

5Biking around Fremantle
A wonderful way to learn all about the history of Fremantle, and to look at all the old buildings and the streets.
5Best half day tour of Fremantle.
We took the train from Perth to Fremantle. It’s inexpensive, easy to find the station and a 25 min. Ride. The bike route’s mostly flat, scenic and limited road traffic. Phil our guide , local for 30 + years , was a wealth of information, interesting, and personable. We highly recommend Phil for most levels of bike riders , you’ll see hidden gems you won’t see on any other tour.
5Great bikes and guide!
Fremantle bikes were great. Phillip was very knowledgeable in Fremantle history and hidden routes through the city. Our 14 mile trip had frequent stops along the way. Stopped at a local pub for lunch or snack (extra cost) Highly recommend
5Great Tour!

5The best bike tour you can do!!!
Wow!! Loved this tour with Phil, who is so knowledgeable about the history of Fremantle and Australia. Great company on the tour too, got great pics, went all over and had a brilliant time. We had a lovely lunch and so enjoyed Phil's company. Love the guys at Fremantle Bikes, so friendly and helpful. Thank you for making me feel at home here AND for being perfectly placed round the corner from the Little French Nest coffee shop. 💪😊🌟

Fremantle is Perth's old port on the Indian Ocean, a harbour town of limestone and Victorian buildings, a convict prison, markets and coffee-lined streets.
Fremantle sits at the mouth of the Swan River, known to the Noongar people as Walyalup. Its centre keeps a strong stock of nineteenth-century buildings, including the Round House, the oldest surviving public building in Western Australia, and the town hall.
