Additional Info

  • Confirmation will be received at time of booking
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • For your enjoyment and safety, groups are small and personal, so a maximum of 6 riders per group, plus friendly guide
  • Minimum age 14 years old (teenagers of 14-15 years old must be accompanied by an adult).
  • Minimum rider height is 5 foot (152cm).
  • Near public transportation
  • Adult pricing applies to all travelers.
  • 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! If you’d prefer a shorter, easier ride along Auckland’s beautiful waterfront - check out The Easy Rider, one of our other tour listings!

An active way to see Auckland
Karen_B, Mar 2024
What a fabulous way to see Auckland with Carson as a knowable guide. The stories, the sights all while getting exercise on easy to ride e-bikes thru the streets of Auckland was the way to do it. My 19yo son , an avid cyclist, thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely recommend this tour.

Great ride!
Mark_D, Feb 2024
This was a great 15 mile ride and intro to the city. Our guide, Carson did a fabulous job helping us navigate the local rules of the way and describing different locations by use of earbuds. Doesn't take much skill on a bike, ok for the casual rider.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Great to hear you had fun on your tour with Carson 👍🏻
Great e-bike ride worth every penny.
Jeff_H, Feb 2024
Just a very enjoyable bike ride with beautiful views and a nice long ride that was very easy with great e-bikes. Our guide was very excellent and very knowledgeable. Unfortunately I had a fall that was totally my fault, but the guide was prepared and very helpful and followed up on me later in the day.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thanks so much for the review Jeff. Sorry to hear you had a fall. Rider safety is our number 1 priority. In the very unlikely event that one of our riders comes off their bike, we are fully trained to look after you - as you found out! Great that it didn’t spoil your experience of the ride 👍🏻
A lot of fun e-biking around Auckland
Chantal_B, Feb 2024

We loved riding the various bike paths around Auckland and learning about the history and cultures of this area. Eddie was amazing and the headsets he provided made for a safe and informative ride. This e-bike tour is a fantastic experience- very well done and a great value. Thanks for sharing your city with four Americans from New England!

Biking fun for everyone
Jane_E, Jan 2024
Why ride around in a van or tour bus when you can experience Auckland on a bike up close. Carson was a great guide and was patient teaching everyone about ebikes. He made it easy for everyone to navigate the streets. Fun way to see the city with an entertaining guide.i highly recommend this tour
