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.
Public transportation options are available nearby. Not recommended for pregnant travelers. Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health. Suitable for all physical fitness levels. 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).. 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.
Your guide will meet you outside The Pantry cafe at the Park Hyatt Auckland – at the corner of Halsey Street and Jellicoe Street, opposite the ASB Building. Once you arrive at The Pantry, look out for your guide – they will be the person wearing the grey or black Power to the Pedal t-shirt!
