Electric Bike Hire - Full Day

Pick up anytime from 9am and return by 5:30pm

Ride at your own pace by hiring an eBike to explore Wellington city and the surrounding bays.  From our store on the centrally located Wellington Waterfront to the quiet bays and panoramic lookouts, you’ll be enthralled from start to finish. These quality electric bikes are easy to use and suitable for any level of fitness.

You can ride the bays to take in the best viewpoints or use your eBike as your transport between the Wellington must-see attractions such as Weta Workshop, Zealandia Sanctuary, Te Papa Museum or the Wellington Cable Car. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or in a group, these top-quality electric bikes make your mode of transport an experience in itself.

We can recommend a great day route that takes you from our store on the Wellington Waterfront, around the bays to the Miramar Peninsula and back via a lookout of the harbour entrance and Matairangi Mt Victoria lookout.  We have a recommended cafe stop (a local's secret!) with fun atmosphere, outdoor spaces and one of the best views you'll find. 

We're centrally located only a 5min walk from the Wellington iSite (visitor's information center) and Te Papa Museum (NZ's National Museum).

Our bikes are suitable for riders from 145cm (4'8) tall. We have a variety of bikes to suit your preference. You will be provided with riding instructions, a helmet, a lock and a cycle map of the city, including our top picks of places to stop on your ride. We have a large car-free space to get your riding practice in and provide a full briefing of how the bikes work- they're easy!

Arriving from a Cruise Ship

The easiest way to find us to take the free Cruise Ship Shuttle and get off at the North Lambton Quay Stop. We're an easy (and beautiful) 25 minute walk from there. Exit your shuttle and walk down Whitmore Street. Stick to the sidewalk and until you reach the water's edge and turn right. Keeping to the main path, stroll along our beautiful waterfront for 20 minutes.
