Auckland is regularly voted as one of the most livable cities on Earth and this small group, guided electric bike tour is designed to showcase exactly why that title is deserved. A big part of what makes Auckland great is its wonderful and distinct neighborhoods, as well as the world-class eating, drinking, shopping and cultural experiences that are on offer.

On this guided tour, ride around some of Auckland’s cool neighborhoods, that don’t always feature on the standard Auckland city tour routes – miss them at your peril! As well as showcasing the best of what Auckland has to offer, your experienced local tour guide will peel back the layers and provide you with a fascinating insight into the history and culture of the city. To top off the adventure, you are guaranteed some spectacular views that you might not otherwise see – perfect for the photographers among you. Use of a shiny electric bike and a helmet are included in the tour. The max group size is 6.

Whilst experience riding an electric bike is not necessary (we'll provide an orientation and we'll do a test ride to make sure you're comfortable before we head off), you must of course be able to ride a bike! If you haven't ridden in a while, for your enjoyment/safety and that of your fellow riders, we strongly recommend you have a practice riding at home before your visit to Auckland. As well as riding on our wonderful cycleways, we will of course be riding in the road at times (to get to the good places!). Riding in traffic is a dynamic environment, so you will need to be comfortable riding in the road in order to enjoy the tour. And Auckland's volcanic past means that there a quite few hills to go up and down - the eBikes make going up easy, but you'll obviously need to be able to ride downhill!

Closed toe shoes are required. Sports gear not necessary - casual clothes are fine but dress to the conditions please.

Free storage available for small bags at the city centre departure point.

The tours run rain or shine – you will be provided free use of a bright and comfortable rain jacket, if you need one.

Our electric bikes are designed with a maximum weight capacity of 250 pounds (113 kg).

We recommend you bring sunscreen - the sun in NZ can be very harsh!

You may wish to bring a bottle of water with you for the ride. You can store this in the bag on your bike. There is also a drinking fountain near our departure point where you can fill your water bottle.

Whilst we welcome solo riders, this experience requires a minimum number of riders booked in order for it to go ahead (2). If it’s cancelled because the minimum isn’t met, you’ll either be offered a different date/experience or a full refund.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Carson give us a fantastic tour around Auckland. As cyclists, we quickly adapted to the e-bikes, enjoying how easy it was to ascend and descend. We rode almost 17 miles, saw many neighborhoods, homes and sights. Carson tailored the tour to best suit our abilities and what we had already seen, and took a number of photos that were shared with us.
Just awesome

Carson was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! This tour is easily the best way to experience both the heart of Auckland and its charming inner suburbs. A really thoughtful touch was Carson taking photos throughout the trip and providing us with a GPS map video showing our route.
Great experience with great photos to keep

It was such a great experience! I loved the history, the views, and the bike made it super easy to get around. We were lucky with the weather, which really made me appreciate Auckland even more. The host was fantastic; funny, thoughtful, and even adjusted our time to suit the weather. I also loved that he took photos of us along the way. Everything went so smoothly, and I couldn’t have asked for a better day.
Must do bike tour

Eddie is a fantastic and knowledgeable guide. He knows the roads really well and it shows with how he kept us safe at all times. At the end he even gave us a sheet of places to visit which was really helpful. The ear piece provided was awesome and all operators should do it as it makes it really easy to hear the guide whilst riding.
Awesome bike tour!

We received a prompt response from Eddie, who was able to accommodate our last minute reservation request. The bicycles are in great shape. Carson was our guide and he shared a lot of information about the city and about the culture of Auckland and of new zealand. We felt safe the whole time, all the equipment worked, and we highly recommend this activity and business. Thanks to Carson for the great ride! (We added that red bell pepper to a salad- it was delicious!)
