E bike - This was a great bike ride. Went up to the water tanks and had a wonderful view. Ebikes are awesome. Pedal as much or as little as you want. It was pretty windy - when it was a side wind you really had to careful but the guide warned us of this. Don’t hesitate to- easy and great ride with an e-bike.

Great cycle tour! - We had a fabulous trip. Jack was very knowledgeable and made the trip very interesting. Easy cycling except for one steep hill, which wasn’t a problem at all on an e-bike. The ice cream towards the end was also a nice touch. Would highly recommend!

A wonderful experience! - Switched on Bikes picked us up promptly, outfitted us with our bikes and took the time to be sure we were all confident before proceeding. Jack looked out for all of us and paced the ride perfectly.

Perfect way to see Wellington! - We completed the 3-4 hour e-bike tour of Wellington. It was absolutely stunning and our host really made the trip by providing great historic insights along the way which kept it both fun and educational. We covered 23km which is easy on the e-bike tour and took in some stunning views of Wellington and it's surroundings. Could not recommend this trip high enough!

Great E-bike tour of Wellington - This was a great way to see more of Wellington and learn from a local. Our guide, Dylan, was awesome. Helpful, knowledgeable and interesting. He made the tour so enjoyable. Great views from the top of the hill and the gelato was a nice treat to finish.

A great guide - Tara - and great views. - Tara did a great job leading us and providing interesting information and stories. The bikes were in great shape and very easy to operate. There was one steep long hill but with the E bike assist it was easy. We were happy we took the morning tour as the route wasn’t very busy but got busier on our return so is probably very busy later in the day with pedestrians, runners and other riders.

Have fun in windy city - A very enthusiastic young guide showed us in particular the waterfront and the coast of Wellington Bay. Along the way explanations and history from the Maori to the settlers to the recent earthquakes and the latest wild life project. The electric bike makes it easy despite that one hill and especially the strong gusty wind. Good bikes, great helmets and if you want visibility vest
