Northern Tasmania
Melbourne to Tasmania
Our base is in Melbourne, so there is no shop, workshop or mobile mechanic in Launceston. Bikes and parts are freighted to Tasmania, and we advise by phone before and after delivery. For servicing, you can book workshop time in Melbourne or freight the bike across the strait and back, which adds planning, so we help you decide what is worth sending.
Freight to northern Tasmania. Bikes, chargers and parts organised for delivery to Launceston and nearby towns.
Planning help. We explain what to bundle in a single freight run to avoid repeated shipping.
Servicing by booking. Workshop time is booked in Melbourne, with freight arranged for the crossing.
Launceston's valley air and steep suburbs ask a lot of a battery. Riders from Trevallyn, Prospect and Kings Meadows call us about an electric motorbike Launceston winters will not slow, so we ask about hills, distance and rider weight and size the pack with margin. We deliver from Melbourne after checking and charging the bike, and include a charger. Tell us whether you commute on the flat near the river or climb into the suburbs, since that shapes the battery we suggest.
Frost settles in the Tamar Valley, which cuts range and makes charging a cold pack unwise. We suggest keeping the battery indoors, riding gently until it warms and checking brake wear on steep descents. Road registration in Tasmania goes through Transport Tasmania, and we explain what an ADR-compliant bike involves. Rules differ by state, so confirm the current requirements with them before buying for the street. Wet leaves and cold tarmac reduce grip, so we also talk through tyre choice and gentle braking on slippery descents.
There is no workshop of ours in Tasmania. We diagnose faults by phone, freight parts and batteries across Bass Strait and book workshop time at our Melbourne base when a bike needs a technician. You can freight the bike in too. Send photos or a short description of the issue and we will say whether we can freight parts to you or need the bike. Call 0438 690 440 and we will go through what suits your bike and your location.
