Why ride with an E-bike?
- Confidence to get out there and tackle the hills with ease
- Keep up with more experienced bike riders
- Ride further, faster, with less effort
- The freedom to choose how hard you want your ride to be
Below is a quick video explaining how to get the most out of your E-biking experience:
Where can I collect the E-bike?
Select the date and quantity of riders on this page. Then on the day simply collect your E-Bike(s) from our shop at 3 Searle Lane, Queenstown.
Where can I ride?
From our shop in the centre of Queenstown, the bike trail follows the shoreline of Lake Whakatipu. A quick loop around the scenic Queenstown Gardens and you’ll join onto the Frankton Track. This smooth flowing trail will take you out to Frankton Beach, passing a few coffee spots and even a brewery. From here the trail splits: either looping back around to the spectacular Kelvin Peninsula, or along the Kawarau River to the wider trail network beyond. Our team can give a few tips for destinations when you collect your E-bike.
But the key to unlocking the finest sections of the Queenstown Trail is getting a shuttle. We have packaged together E-bike hire with shuttle transport to allow you to experience the Queenstown Trail at its best, the gold-standard of bike trails in New Zealand. Check out those options here.
What time do I have to return the E-bike?
Our shop closes at 5 PM daily. Please make sure you think about this when booking, as you may want to start earlier to maximise your hire time.
Looking to hire an E-Bike for multiple-days?
You’re a legend! See the multi-day hire page here, or the epic multi-day ride packages available here.
