Additional Information
Experience Auckland in a whole new light, literally, by partaking in a nighttime electric bike tour designed for up to 4 people. Cycle through vibrant city streets and brightly lit bike paths while taking in the city’s nightlife, spectacular views, and captivating light displays. Your electric bike will be amply lit, making you a part of the luminary spectacle. The package includes the use of an electric bike and a helmet.
- For your enjoyment and safety, groups are small and personal - so a maximum of 4 riders per group, plus friendly guide
- Minimum rider height is 5 foot (152cm)
- Our electric bikes are designed with a maximum weight capacity of 250 pounds (113 kg).
- 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.
- Minimum age is 14 years old (teenagers of 14-15 years old must be accompanied by an adult)
- 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.

Fun at 26 mph - Tons of fun! Got to see a lot of the places we had not already walked in the city. First time on a e-bike so it was a neat experience. Would definitely do it again.

Amazing way to see Auckland - My brother and I had an amazing time on the night tour on our first night in Auckland. We were fortunate to be the only ones in our tour and our guide Carson was amazing and provided local tips on things to do and answered all our questions. We had a headpiece that allowed us to hear our guide throughout the journey which was great! We traveled around 16km through Auckland and our guide took lots of photos and information on Auckland on our trip. Highly recommend this tour for anyone and a great way to get your bearings of the city and cover a lot of key places in Auckland.

Great nighttime ride - For those who had never ridden an electric bike or any bike recently the instructions and practice pre ride took all anxiety away. Eddie was great in reassuring us we would all manage, and we did very successfully. Great evening tour, less people so easy ride and fantastic lighting around town. Eddie’s commentary gave us historic insight and what’s coming in future. Would highly recommend

Amazing night bike ride - This was the most amazing activity! So much fun and so easy! The electric bikes made the route incredibly easy, 12 km long and up a huge mountain! Eddie made us feel safe during the whole route, especially in traffic, and took great photos of us so we wouldn't forget the experience.
A huge must do!!

Wonderful Tour! - I absolutely loved this tour! This ended up just being my husband and I with Eddie who was fantastic. He took some photos, gave clear directions, taught us a lot about New Zealand and patiently answered our questions. The electric bikes were fun to ride and the speaker on our ears during the ride let us clearly hear Eddie's commentary. Auckland is a pretty city and especially magical when light up for the night. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat, we had a great time!

So glad I was able to grab a spot for this tour! - So worth it! I haven't tried the day tour but so glad I was able to take the night one! For starters, group size is small so makes for so much more of a personal tour. 2nd is that Auckland is so much calmer during these hours it felt like you had the city to yourself to just cruise around and learn about some great bits of city's history and landscape. Eddie is the man! He knew how to take everyone's bike comfort into account and we could go from "nice and easy" to "let's get some speed" ride. Highly recommend but make sure you reserve with plenty of time as the groups are small for a more personable experience.

Do it! - What an experience!
Far better than expected and a must for any visitor to New Zealand (Auckland).
It's more than just a bike ride - it is a fun introduction to Auckland with its 1.6 million inhabitants.
The bikes are easy to master even for the pretty one that hasn't been on a bicycle since pa fell off the bus.
