Guided E-Bike Tours in New Zealand

Tours are designed to take the hassle out of planning a cycling holiday. Depending on the experience, your adventure can include premium e-bikes, transport, guiding, refreshments and food along the way.
Choose from shorter day rides or explore further with a customised multi-day cycling adventure.
Auckland E-Bike Tours
Discover another side of Auckland on a relaxed guided e-bike ride.
The Auckland Half Day E-Bike Tour explores approximately 25–30 km of scenic cycle paths and trails, with around 3–3.5 hours of riding. The route uses accessible Grade 1 cycle trail and is suitable for beginners as well as more experienced riders.
Premium e-bikes make the journey comfortable, allowing you to concentrate on Auckland’s scenery and surroundings while your guide takes care of the route.
Karangahake Gorge E-Bike Tour
Experience one of the North Island’s most spectacular cycling destinations on a guided Karangahake Gorge e-bike tour.
Ride through the bush-clad gorge beside the Ohinemuri River and discover a landscape shaped by both nature and New Zealand’s gold-mining history.
Highlights include the historic railway bridge and the approximately 1,200-metre former railway tunnel built for the gold train. The experience also takes riders through the Waikato countryside and into Paeroa.
For visitors staying in Auckland, this is an excellent way to experience one of the Waikato’s most memorable sections of the Hauraki Rail Trail without having to organise bikes and transport independently.
Multi-Day North Island Cycle Tours
Want more than a day on the bike? R & R Adventures can also create longer cycling experiences.
Enjoy 2–4 days or customised multi-day adventures exploring some of the North Island’s scenic cycle trails, with the itinerary and level of support tailored around your group. NZ Cycle Trail specifically recognises R & R Adventures as offering both day rides and multi-day adventures.
These trips are ideal for couples, friends and small groups who want to experience more of New Zealand by bike without having to organise every detail themselves.
Supported Backcountry Cycling Adventures
With more than 40 years of experience in racing and riding bikes, R & R Adventures understands that exploring remote trails can feel daunting without the right support.
Their tours are designed to give you the freedom to enjoy New Zealand’s backcountry without having to manage everything yourself. Mechanical assistance, food and refreshments, first aid and support vehicle assistance are available when needed, giving you extra confidence while still allowing you to enjoy an authentic Kiwi cycling experience.
Their philosophy is simple: enough support to give you confidence, without taking away the freedom and adventure of the ride.
