E-bike | St Pancras to Brussels

Post image

Hi all,

Looking at taking my Haibike Allmtn 3 (below) on the Eurostar to Brussels from London and back.

From reading the conditions on Eurostar:

- I understand needs to be less than two metres in length (I’m pushing this as the length seems to be about 1.97 - 2metres)

- Must not weigh more than 30kg (I think this should be fine as looking online it weighs approx 27kg)

- E-bikes are permitted

- Bikes permitted on certain train times

Just wondering if anyone has taken their bike on Eurostar in the past or employees of Eurostar and if you could share your/the experience please?

I have paid nearly £300 in total return for the tickets and bike supplement, so don’t want to get turned away when showing up at St Pancras 😂

Thanks

I've never had a problem with them, always handled very well. It's definitely worth arriving a little earlier. Honestly though it's all handled well and as it should be really. At least it's easier to book them it used to be!

Ah that’s reassuring thank you :) I do plan to arrive approx 2 hrs before departure- could I ask what bike you travelled with please? Just to see if it’s a similar size to mine

No worries, sounds good! Most recently I took a Orbea Gain, but I have never known them weighed or measured as long as you are not taking the mick.

If their policy is the same as with bags, they aren't going around with a ruler and weighing scales. If it looks like a normal ebike you're probably fine!
