E-bike and e-scooter charging stations

Charging or storing e-bikes and e-scooters indoors is unsafe and strictly prohibited. To support staff and students using e-bikes and e-scooters as sustainable transport options, free e-bike and e-scooter charging stations are available at the N1 carpark, located just outside the James Gormley bike arrival station.

These stations offer a safe and convenient way to charge your device while on campus.

Please ensure your bike or scooter is removed once it’s fully charged or after your two-hour session ends, to help maintain safety and ensure fair access for others. For secure storage, use the outdoor bike hoops located across campus.

We’re currently exploring the possibility of installing charging stations at our other campuses.

Keeping your bike secure

Make sure to always lock your bike when parking it on campus. Ensure that you lock your bike to a hoop securely through the frame and wheel if possible. If you have a second lock, use it to secure the second wheel.

In an emergency, Security can be contacted on 9905 3333.

Getting to campus

Check Google Maps
Put your starting point and destination into the Google Maps directions planner, and select cycling as your mode. You can use these routes as a base, and make your own edits to select quieter roads with better cycling infrastructure where necessary. Street view and satellite view are helpful for spotting on-road bike paths.
Consult council area maps
Each council in Melbourne publishes cycling route maps which you can use for guidance on the roads which include bike lanes, or dedicated off-road bike paths. The relevant councils for each campus are the City of Monash (Clayton), the City of Glen Eira (Caulfield), the City of Melbourne (Parkville) and the City of Frankston (Peninsula).
Ask another rider
Chances are that another cyclist is familiar with your local area. This map shows a collection of routes that are commonly used when accessing the Clayton campus. Students and staff can join the Monash Community Bicycle Users Group (McBUG) where you can ask for tips and suggestions. Staff can also join the Monash Cyclists and Bike Commuters workplace group.
Try the arevo app by RACV
If you're on two wheel, arevo allows you to choose between riding the fastest route or a quiet option. Maps display the level of bike infrastructure along your route, and the app provides turn-by-turn navigation.
Taking your bike on trains
You can take your bike on all metropolitan trains, making it possible to cycle to campus from almost anywhere in Melbourne. Public Transport Victoria has some helpful tips for cyclists for taking bikes on trains.
