ARTBIKES
ARTBIKES is a bike borrowing service that enables art lovers to easily access Hobart’s arts precincts and galleries.
Spend the day immersing yourself in Hobart's arts and culture with a state-of-the-art, Dutch designed Vanmoof bike. Simple, light and strong, with inbuilt solar-charged lights, ARTBIKES are available in male and unisex models.
We’ll provide the helmet, lock and map – all you need is to do is provide the pedal power!
To borrow an ARTBIKE you will need:
- a credit or debit card
- photo ID
- if you are under 18, a parent/guardian who will ride with you.
ARTBIKES are free if you pickup and return them on the same day. Or you can:
- hire overnight for $22 or
- for the weekend for $44.
ARTBIKES can't be booked, they are offered on a first in, first served basis.
ARTBIKES are available from:

Monday – Friday, 9:00 am – 4:30 pm
Phone: 03 6237 6323
Please note that ARTBIKES are not currently available at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery.
