Mark, the owner/operator, is accommodating, fun, and thorough. He picked us up at our hotel, took us to the drop point, provided a full orientation and safety briefing. He ensured we had multiple ways to contact him and repeatedly stressed his flexibility in meeting any needs we had. He does all this in a enthusiastic and upbeat manner because that's who he is. We had a great experience and loved supporting a small local business. Oh yeah, the ride was beautiful!

Mark did a great job picking us up, showing us the route, going through the obligatory safety checks, and making sure bikes were ship shape. Route was gravel and sometimes narrow giving us a little bit of a mountain bike experience. Plenty of views and stops but we still completed the route in 4 hrs. Route returns to Wanaka and all we had to do is tell Mark where the bikes were and he picked them up.

We had an amazing day exploring Lake Hāwea, the Hāwea river and Lake Wānaka. Mark couldn’t have made it easier for us. Great bikes, an awesome mix of scenery and always there to help with instructions, tips on local shops and after a tyre puncture (sorry Mark!) a new bike ready to go in 20 minutes. Highly recommended!

This eBike trip was a highlight of our vacation. Mark does a fantastic job of explaining the route and giving tips. You guide yourself back to the starting point where we met Mark. The trails are beautiful. The bikes had strong motors and plenty of battery. The scenery is extraordinarily beautiful. Can’t recommend this highly enough.

1st time with an ebike. Made it easy to ride the trip around Lake Hawea, alongside Hawea River and Clutha River. Very enjoyable.
