Awesome experience for myself and two slightly nervous teenage daughters. Amazed how far we got - even up Mt Victoria! I was unsure we’d get very far with the windy weather but was incredulous how little effort it was to power along. Jimmy was an awesome guide with great entertaining stories along the way. Highly recommended!

  I arrived in Wellington midday after a very long overnight journey from Tokyo via Auckland, the day before a week of 30+ meetings and presentations. I was aching to cycle around the beautiful Miramar Peninsula... and I did! Thanks to the great guys -- and great bikes! -- at Switched On Bikes, I was able to grab a bike right after I dropped my stuff off at the hotel, and was on the road mid-afternoon. They were flexible and accommodating on the return time, allowing me to drop-off the bike after the shop closed (or even the next morning, if necessary). I took a regular bike (non-electric) and had one of the nicest rides of my life, truly. I was ready for work the next day, energised. Thanks guys!

  We (two couples) booked e-bikes for a full day that included vouchers for burgers at the Chocolate Fish in Shelly Bay. We all have cycling experience and used this as a day to learn about e-bikes. We charged up Mt Victoria - great views - and then zoomed down to the south coast for a coffee. From there it was up the track under the Ataturk Memorial and down to Seatoun. Around the Miramar peninsula to the Chocolate Fish. After lunch it was back home to return the bikes. What a great way to see a great city. (I must admit we are residents so should be considered bias.) So a great activity and the service and bikes were also excellent. Maps are offered to non-residents.

  A must for any visitor to Wellington, electric bike travel is definitely the way to go! I took the bike (free) on the ferry to Day's Bay and then spent a day enjoying peace and stunning views whilst riding on quiet road /cycle path/gravel road to Pencarrow lighthouse.

The location of the bike pick up point is perfect on the harbour and the staff were helpful and kind.

I was initially a nervous rider but not for long, I enjoyed it so much I took a bike out for an extra day.

  My girlfriend and I just arrived to Wellington for the first time and we wanted to do a guided tour, not a conventional one but something different. Luckily for us we discovered an intro tour to the city on BIKES! It started at Queens Wharf. We chose electrical bikes which are confortable and perfect to the city, really easy to ride. The bikes give you support if you need it (perfect to go uphill) so it makes the ride very smooth and pleasant. Our tour guide took us along the Waterfront, Te Papa museum, Cuba st, the stadium and other places. We had convenient stops where our guide gave us information about the place, facts about Wellington history or funny anecdotes. We definitely recommend it, specially for those first timers in the city.

  Had great time cycling around the harbour and stopping at the Chocolate Fish for a bit of sustenance. A little bit of power definitely helped when I turned into the fresh southerly around Point Jerningham!

  Hired 2 e-bikes got a map and set off. What a great way to see Wellington. Meandering about - where ever. Don't be put off by the hilly terrain, we climbed some seriously ludicrous lookouts with ease - no deodorant needed. My partner, the I'm not a bike person one, still smiled and had a ball. Yes recommend this....
