Queens Wharf
We're on Queens Wharf beside 'Dockside Restaurant' and 'Fergs Kayaks'- most locals will know these businesses. If arriving by cruise ship take the free port operated shuttle service into the city (short trip) then walk to the waterfront- we're a 10-15min walk from either of the two stops.

Day of adventures - I rented one of the smaller e-bikes for the day , went all along the beautiful coast to Shelly bat and before that up to the lookout on Mt Victoria! I had a super day the bike ran very well the turbo option was great for up the steep parts, it’s a great was to see Wellington and areas if you don’t have a car. Check in and our was a breeze with switched on bikes.

Haven't ridden in over 30 years, you can do it - trust me! - Brilliant way to see Wellington. Loved our 40klm hike along the coastline. Well worth it considering I have not ridden a bike for over 30 years, the e-bike made it so much easier to get back on!

Spectacular biking in Wellington - Fantastic day biking in Wellington. We went 25-30 miles, following the ocean the whole way. It was really spectacular. Ocean views, waves, coffee spots along the way.

Fun Day in Wellington With Friends!! - A wonderful day in Wellington with friends riding bikes. Liam was a huge help getting ready for our bike ride. He was very helpful with instructions, encouragement and a map. Well worth the money.

Great way to see Wellington - It was a windy day (Windy Welly), and we were concerned walking from our cruise ship it may not have been a good idea. Short walk from the ship dock along the promenade. Staff very helpful with maps/routes to take, and where not to go which was one area along the Oceanside. The BAY and city were very Rideable. We ventured off into some neighborhoods in the Weta Workshop stumbled across a neighborhood cafe, enjoyed conversation with the locals. Ride to some peaks for great views. There were road bikers and non-riders in our party of 4, the bikes were very easy to ride, great condition, locks provided and batteries were secured/locked to the bikes as well. We were in and out of several tourist spots, restaurants and waterholes. No issues at all, plenty of power and distance from these e-bikes. Pay attention to the brief intro for operation (turning on the battery/ NO FEET on the pedals so turn on before you get on the bike!! ) and shift changing the gears.

Nice way to see the city and the coast. - We enjoyed this e-bike rental, and doing the recommended route along the coast was great. We booked through TA, and I rescheduled in an effort to select a day with a decent weather forecast, but things can change quickly in Wellington, and the day ended up being very gray and windy with a touch of rain. If you don't book ahead, you run the risk of not getting a bike, but for the days we were in town, there were always some bikes available. I asked one of the employees about the need to make reservations in advance and he said that on weekends when cruise ships are in, it is common to sell out. While we had fun and enjoyed ourselves, I think if I had to do it again (especially if I was in Wellington for a few days), I would not book ahead, as it would have been so much nicer if it had been an nice day.
