A full-day e-bike hire gives you the flexibility to combine a scenic ride around Wellington's bays with time at some of the city's best-known attractions. Electric assistance makes the hills easier and helps you cover more distance, whether you're following the coastline, riding up to panoramic viewpoints or using your bike to travel between different parts of the city.

A recommended full-day route follows the waterfront around the bays to Miramar Peninsula before returning via viewpoints over the harbour entrance and Mt Victoria. You can also use your e-bike to reach attractions such as Wētā Workshop, Zealandia, Te Papa and the Wellington Cable Car, stopping at cafés and viewpoints along the way.
