Fun ride - Very nice bike ride along the water. Jack and Ryan were great tour guides and made sure we were safe. Bikes worked well and were very easy to use. Ice cream at the end was a bonus.

Fun way to see Wellington! - My husband and I really enjoyed our electric bike tour of Wellington. The bikes were easy and very fun to ride. I was little worried about riding for 3+ hours but we took plenty of stops to see the sites and learn about the area. I can't believe how far we rode - the electric bikes make it easy! Our guide was knowledge, fun, and friendly. I highly recommend!

Fantastic fun! - We weren’t really too sure what to expect having never used an E-Bike before but they were so easy. Our brilliant tour guide Dylan gave us a brief overview of how the bikes worked and we were on our way. We were lucky to have exceptional weather for the tour as we cruised around the coast of Welly taking in the beautiful sights with regular stops from Dylan giving us all the info we needed in an entertaining and knowledgeable fashion. The famous Welly wind didn’t slow us down either as we just upped the bike power! We also managed to see some dolphins and had a plane fly close above us. We’d highly recommended this tour for an alternative view of Wellington away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Now considering buying an E-Bike when we get home!

Excellent Experience with Switched on Bikes - Great e-bike cycling tour around Wellington harbor and surrounding hills. Excellent experience getting fitted for the bike and helmet. New and high-quality e-bikes. Excellent, entertaining guides - Denny was main guide and Dylan was supporting him that day. The tour even included a stop for ice cream and coffee. Highly recommend!
