Before your adventure

Prepare for your ride

Your private sidecar experience is for one or two riders. Classic is a 45-minute ride and Great Escape is 90 minutes.

What to wear

  • Wear closed shoes, long trousers and comfortable layers.
  • Bring a warm, wind-resistant jacket, especially for a twilight ride.
  • Dress for Melbourne’s changing weather. Contact us if the forecast concerns you.
  • Secure loose scarves, bags and other belongings before departure.

Safety and equipment

  • Helmets, gloves and intercoms are supplied. Full-face and open-face helmet options are available.
  • Sidecar passengers have seatbelts. Your host will explain the seating and equipment.
  • Listen to the safety briefing and follow your host’s instructions throughout the ride.
  • Tell us before your ride about access needs or equipment requirements. Contact us about children’s seating.

Meeting your host

Be ready 10 minutes before your confirmed departure. Victoria Market pickup is in front of 229 Franklin Street, Melbourne VIC 3000.

Monday to Friday: Victoria Market pickup only. Weekend Zone 1 and Zone 2 pickups must be confirmed with your actual address after payment.

Need a hand?

Check your confirmation for your departure, pickup and booking reference. Contact us if you need to discuss your ride or change your arrangements.

Sign the waiver

No booking or payment is required. Each adult signs for themselves. A parent or guardian signs for a rider under 18. You may sign again; each submission is kept as a separate record.

Your typed signature, the agreement, timestamp and IP address are stored privately. Known details may be prefilled: check them and replace them if you are signing for another rider.
