Staff also explained the bikes well, highlighting correct use ensuring correct sizes. Overall experience was great, easy booking, arrival and handing back the bikes was easily completed. Overall vibe from the team was excellent, would happily ride again if around this area of the world in the future.
Time well spent.

5.00An excellent experience all around! The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable and helped us plan our ride. We had to change our plans a few times and they were perfectly accommodating. We'd love to do it all again - so much to see in this beautiful place.
Gorgeous ride. No crowds.

5.00Gorgeous ride along Wellington's bays. I was travelling solo and adapting to riding on the 'other' side of the road but felt completely safe. The views were outstanding!
Fantastic way to explore Wellington

5.00My son, who is 17, and I went on the long ride around the bays in Wellington and absolutely loved it. First-time riders of e-bikes and really enjoyed it. Started our ride at about 9 am and returned the bikes at 3.30 pm. Thoroughly enjoyed our day, and the electric bikes made it an easy ride up those big hills!
Great bikes, great service.

5.00Really great service with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The e-bikes were really good and well maintained. They had all the extras you need such as gloves, jackets and bike locks. We booked through Get Your Guide and they sent us directions. This involved walking over a mile to the meeting point only to find that they had moved. Not the fault of the central company! Highly recommended.
