The GreenWay is a 6 km, almost entirely off-road shared path linking Iron Cove and the Bay Run with the Cooks River at Earlwood — and it is one of the best e-bike rides in Sydney. Opened in December 2025, it threads through the Inner West on a sealed, gently graded path, which makes it about a 25-minute cruise each way on an e-bike. From our shop in Leichhardt you are on it in minutes.
What is the GreenWay and where does it go?
The GreenWay is a 6 km walking and cycling corridor that opened on 14 December 2025, connecting the Parramatta River at Iron Cove (and the Bay Run) with the Cooks River at Earlwood. It mostly follows the Inner West Light Rail and the Hawthorne Canal, passing through Lilyfield, Haberfield, Summer Hill, Lewisham and Dulwich Hill. New tunnels and underpasses beneath Parramatta Road and New Canterbury Road mean you can now travel between the two rivers almost entirely off-road, on a sealed path that is both pram- and bike-friendly the whole way.
Why is the GreenWay perfect for an e-bike?
Two reasons: it is off-road, and it is a there-and-back. Because the path is separated from traffic for nearly its full length, it is one of the least stressful places in Sydney to ride — ideal if you are new to e-bikes or riding with kids. And because the best way to enjoy it is to ride the 6 km down and 6 km back, an e-bike turns a 12 km round trip into an easy outing rather than a workout. The gentle motor assistance flattens the few rises and shrugs off the return leg, so you arrive home fresh. It also links straight into the 7 km Bay Run at the northern end and the long Cooks River Cycleway at the southern end, so you can extend it into a much bigger day whenever you feel like it — see our full guide to where to ride an e-bike in Sydney for the connecting routes.
What will you see along the way?
The GreenWay is more than a commuter link — it is a linear park. Along the corridor you will pass eight dedicated public artworks, cultural and historical sites, bushcare regeneration zones, picnic areas, playgrounds and sporting fields, plus cafes for a mid-ride coffee. The short tunnels and canal-side stretches give it a genuinely scenic, away-from-the-road feel that is rare this close to the city. Bring a lock and a rack bag and make a morning of it: coffee at one end, a picnic at the other.
How do you ride the GreenWay from Leichhardt?
From Cyberbikes on Parramatta Road, the quickest way on is via Lilyfield to pick up the northern end near Iron Cove, then follow the signed path south towards Dulwich Hill and Earlwood. Pack water, a charged battery, a helmet (mandatory in NSW) and a bike lock. Keep left, use your bell around walkers, and ease off around children and dogs — the goodwill that keeps shared paths open depends on it.
If you want an e-bike built for exactly this kind of riding, the Cyberbikes Centauro is a step-through, full-suspension all-rounder with a 250W motor and a UL 2271-certified 48V 25Ah (1,200Wh) Samsung battery — easily enough range for the GreenWay and the Bay Run and back, with plenty to spare. It is $3,999, or rent-to-own from $99.99/week if you would rather ride the route before you buy. Come and talk to us at Cyberbikes, 281 Parramatta Road, Leichhardt — we ride the GreenWay ourselves and can point you to the best coffee stops.
