★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 497 reviews · from $111Our pick

Review of Auckland’s Classic electric bike tour, including Mt Eden, harbor sights, guide quality, costs, route demands, and practical tips.

“Enjoyed every moment of this experience. Eddie met us at our meet up point on time, gave a concise review of our equipment and the day. The bikes were in excellent condition and easy to use. The tour stops were informative and interesting. Traveling with my husband and daughter and this was an excellent way to spend the morning of our free day in Auckland and left us with time and energy to enjoy the rest of our afternoon and evening. The photos from the day forwarded via email at the end topped off an excellent day. Highly recommend!”

Review of Wānaka’s scenic 30km Hāwea to Wānaka bike trail, with e-bike advice, route details, costs, stops, challenges, and booking tips.

“Having booked regular mountain bikes as that is what we were used to occasionally we wished we had booked an e bike as at times the terrain was fairly steep. Albert town was a great half way stop with a patisserie offering tasty pies and cakes. The views along the way were stunning with mountain backdrop over crystal clear blue lakes. We did get lost along the way, a bit more signage would have been helpful but all in all a fabulous day out”
