Electric Bays Tour

What your day looks like

Meet your guide at our store on Wellington's waterfront in time for a 10 am departure. After listening to the safety briefing, learn how to operate your electric bike and enjoy time to practice in a car-free space before heading out. Once you’re comfortable, saddle up for a fun bike tour of Wellington's bays and follow your guide along the Wellington Waterfront. Glide along the seafront, passing the lively harbour and the beaches of Oriental Bay- filled with swimmers and sun-bathers in the summer. Glide along Wellington's scenic bays as the city fades away while you cruise around the picturesque Evan's Bay. Finally, set the bikes to 'turbo' to climb up to the lookout point for an unforgettable view over Wellington, the Miramar Peninsula, and the ocean harbour entrance. The tour is light hearted and fun. We've been running these tours for a decade and consistently one of the top rated tour on Trip Advisor in Wellington. We use modern Bosch and Shimano 'pedal assist' electric bikes- you pedal and the bikes smoothly 'amplify' your own effort up to 275% (our bikes are not throttle activated). You can choose the level of assistance that suits you- strong riders only use the assistance sometimes and occasional riders keep the power level up high! This means that the group are able to ride at the mostly the same speed. The bikes have more than enough battery to ride the whole way on full power. Your tour ends by 2pm (if 10am departure time) back at Switched on Bikes in Central Wellington
