Take a look at our recipes page for some inspiration!

Most soft, fleshy fruits blend well into smoothies. Bananas, watermelon, mango, avocados and berries work especially well. Although frozen fruits and ice make great additions to bike smoothies, we don't recommend adding more than 1/2 cup of frozen ingredients at a time as the pedals can be too hard to turn.

Choose a flat, even and solid surface to set up the bikes. Allow plenty of space, ideally 1 metre clearance, around each bike. 

Clean running water and somewhere to wash the blending jugs out between uses is essential.

Shade or protection from the elements when needed is also a good idea.

Other useful items include

• Eskies and ice to store cold items

• Table, chopping boards, scissors, spoons/scoops, small paring knives

• Paper towel 

• Long handled dish brush and detergent

• Hand sanitiser

• Rubbish bags/bin

The standard sized bikes can be easily adjusted for both adults and kids, depending on their size.

We do not recommended children under 6 years of age operate the standard sized bike. Children of all ages should be supervised at all times by a responsible adult when operating the bikes.

The blender bikes are very safe to operate under normal conditions.

We recommend a responsible adult supervises blending activities at all times and that spectators stay at least 1 metre away from the bikes whilst the pedals are in motion.

Follow normal food hygeine practices when preparing food and using the blenders. Wash out the blender jugs with warm, soapy water and rinse clean between each use.

Bikes must be placed on firm, flat ground, preferably under shelter.

Never use the bike in rainy, windy or very hot conditions.

Never use the bike under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Always use your own discretion regarding your fitness and state of health before attempting to ride a blender bike.

If you are hosting a bike blending event for the general public you, or your organisation, will need public liability insurance that covers entertainment activities and the service of food and beverages to the public.

Sweet Pedals equipment is fully covered by Public and Products Liability Insurance - however, this does not cover your service of food/beverages, your venue's facilities, or any other activities occurring at your event.

Depending on where your event is taking place, you may also need to apply for a Temporary Food Service Permit and/or Event Licence from the local Council where your event will take place.

It takes roughly 30 seconds of pedalling to make a smoothie, however in general people are having so much fun on the bike they like to take a few minutes over each ride!

A pitcher can also hold up to 2 servings of smoothie - depending on how big you like your serves.

Generally when planning, a good conservative estimate is to allow for up to 10 rides per smoothie bike, per hour - or 50 smoothies per bike for a day-long event (with 5 hours of actual pedal time).

We provide you with compostable refuse sacks and foldable crates. During your event, discard any compostable fruit scraps and cups from your smoothie making activities into the refuses sacks provided and we will collect these at the time of equipment collection.
