Embark on an unforgettable adventure through the heart of New Zealand, from the enchanting Waitomo Caves to the untamed beauty of the Wild West Coast. At Waitomo Ebikes, the power is in your hands as you navigate our self-paced and self-guided rides. But don’t worry, if you prefer expert guidance, we’ve got you covered too!

Choose your own e-bike journey, whether it’s a short one-hour exploration, a leisurely 2-4 hour ride, or an exhilarating full-day expedition. The road is yours to conquer, we provide a comprehensive safety briefing before each ride, ensuring you’re fully equipped for the thrill ahead.

Our e-bike routes will take you mainly along scenic gravel roads, some rides are on sealed roads but the best riding is on the gravel. While we don’t offer traditional bike trails, riding on these gravel roads offers an equally immersive experience, accompanied by the occasional friendly wave from local farmers sharing the road. Your safety is paramount to us, so we encourage you to stay on the left-hand side, remaining aware of other vehicles. Don’t worry though, encountering vehicles is a rare occurrence on these remote roads.

For the more remote rides with limited cell phone coverage, we’ve got you covered. There are farms scattered along the routes which can be contacted in case of an emergency. We’re working closely with the Waitomo District Council and Otorohanga District Council to have signs installed to alert motorists of your presence on the roads, promoting a harmonious coexistence.

Rest assured, your safety is our number one priority. Our experienced team are equipped to swiftly handle any unforeseen circumstances. In case of emergency, we maintain direct communication with emergency services and the Police, ready to assist whenever needed.

Get ready to unleash the spirit of adventure with Waitomo Ebikes, where unforgettable moments and breathtaking landscapes await at every turn. Let the ride of a lifetime begin!

Loved the bike ride with the amazing views it offered. Richard was extremely helpful and prepared the bikes with bottles of water, snacks and sun cream. I found it a nice and easy route and with an E bike, makes it much easier. Thank you Richard 🙂

We encourage everyone to contact Richard to e-bike with Waitomo Ebikes. We enjoyed the AJ Circuit. His ebikes make hills a pleasure! The bush walk was outstanding as well.Waitomo Ebikes does an outstanding job providing a fully equipped ebike. There is no detail left out. We are blown away by the quality of ebike, gear and biking routes.Everything was ready when we arrived. We were able to quickly start our journey. Our route provided a variety of scenery (bush walk, mountains, prairies, horses, sheep, cattle).We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Waitomo Ebikes.

We had a really good time doing the AJ’s circuit. The landscape were beautiful! Richard, the director, was really kind. He managed to get everything pack for us so we won’t miss anything (locks, helmets.. even sunscreen and chewy bars!) We highly recommend this activity!

Such a fun day. Welcomed by Richard, and given maps, drinks, muesli bars, and a choice of rides.We biked down a quiet rural road, bordered by colourful flowers, .to Otorohonga.After a delicious lunch at the fat Kiwi, we returned to Waitomo, and biked to Ruakuri Scenic reserve, where we went for a delightful wander through native bush – up & down many steps, over bridges, into tunnels,and look out points, and past limestone outcrops, cave entrances, and waterfalls.We finished back at Waitomo E Bikes, to a refreshing drink of Ginger, Kawakawa & Manuka Honey, made in Waitomo – a perfect end to a lovely AdventureThanks Richard. It was Awesome

This is one of the best activities we did while in the North Island. We picked up our bikes a little late; sometime after 1pm. We just got done with a previous activity in Waitomo so we were really grateful to Richard for accommodating us.I’m 5’ 1” and not very strong but I was still able to ride and manage the e-bike.We did the E-bike odyssey: The Forgotten Way and we loved it. We were not able to get to the meeting point on time and Richard just drove up the road until he found us. We had stopped many times for pictures and even a 30 min break for lunch on a rock in the fields so we were late (the cows were concerned about us and moved away…😂) If you plan on doing the same, please give yourselves about 5hr. We had about 2 bars of battery left at the end of our ride. TIP: turn off pedal assist when you are riding downhill to save on battery life.Richard met us with drinks and some snacks. I hope you do this ride. We will for sure if we ever go back.

I found Waitomo E-bikes through Google Maps, whilst on the Kiwi experience tour through New Zealand. Many went to the caves, however I wanted to explore the rural countryside of the area and luckily enough found these guys.I dropped an email earlier in the day on my way across from hot water beach, and Richard replied promptly and politely saying there would be a bike waiting for me.On my arrival Amber greeted me and helped me decide where to go based on what I was looking for and was incredibly helpful and friendly. Not knowing the area I was uncertain where to go but Amber showed me the way and gave me a map and once I got going it was all good.A great route and so glad I went.Very friendly and welcoming people. I’d recommend to everyone. The e bikes can make the hills easy so no need to worry about the physical side. Can also be a good workout too if you want it to be.Thanks againSam
