So many awesome cycleways to discover and we’ll pass lots of cafes, restaurants and bars that we can recommend to you!
Voted one of the coolest roads in the World by Time Out magazine. Not sure how scientific that is, but we love it!

- Whilst experience riding an electric bike is not necessary (we'll provide an orientation and we'll do a test ride to make sure you're comfortable before we head off), you must of course be able to ride a bike! If you haven't ridden in a while, for your enjoyment/safety and that of your fellow riders, we strongly recommend you have a practice riding at home before your visit to Auckland. As well as riding on our wonderful cycleways, we will of course be riding in the road at times (to get to the good places!). Riding in traffic is a dynamic environment, so you will need to be comfortable riding in the road in order to enjoy the tour. And Auckland's volcanic past means that there a quite few hills to go up and down - the eBikes make going up easy, but you'll obviously need to be able to ride downhill!
- Closed toe shoes are required. Sports gear not necessary - casual clothes are fine but dress to the conditions please.
- Free storage available for small bags at the city centre departure point.
- The tours run rain or shine – you will be provided free use of a bright and comfortable rain jacket, if you need one.
- Our electric bikes are designed with a maximum weight capacity of 250 pounds (113 kg).
- We recommend you bring sunscreen - the sun in NZ can be very harsh!
- You may wish to bring a bottle of water with you for the ride. You can store this in the bag on your bike. There is also a drinking fountain near our departure point where you can fill your water bottle.
- Whilst we welcome solo riders, this experience requires a minimum number of riders booked in order for it to go ahead (2). If it’s cancelled because the minimum isn’t met, you’ll either be offered a different date/experience or a full refund.

Great. When you are in the hospital accompanying a sick family member, a place like this, where you can eat and breathe, is very good. Thank you!!!
Ola! That’s a great 5 star review of eating options at a hospital, but I don’t think you meant to post it as a review of an Auckland eBike tour 😀. That said, hopefully you’ll join us on one of our tours someday! Best wishes, Eddie
Dee is is the best Ebike coach and travel guru you can have. He is patient, extremely friendly and forgiving and revealed the best of Auckland in the time we spent. Best.
Fantastic to hear you enjoyed your tour with Dennis! 👍🏻
What an amazing e-bike tour of Auckland! We loved it! Quality bikes, amazing safe and extensive cycle path network all around Auckland and Eddie was a brilliant guide! He took us up to Mount Eden (volcano) and the views were out of this world! His commentary was great. When we are back in Auckland we would love to do another of his tours, thanks Eddie and thanks also for the comprehensive list of restaurant and cafes recommendations!
Thanks for the fantastic review Lucy! Glad you both enjoy it 😊
Best e-bike tour of our trip! Our guide, Eddie was a wonderful guide; knowledgeable, fun with a friendly calm energy. The e bikes were top quality - very comfy and easy to use. The headsets were a great idea so we could always hear Eddie. Auckland is very bike friendly which makes it easier to travel this way. It is quite hilly so e bikes are the way to go. Great use of your time to do a tour. I highly recommend this tour.
Thanks so much for recommending us Carolyn. And great to hear you enjoyed the tour/ebikes/headsets!
We were on a New Zealand cruise, and pre-booked this bike trip tour. Finding the shop where Power to the Pedal is located was easy. It’s just off the ship as you walk towards the port. It was a fabulous and easy trip. We love these electric bikes. I wish there would’ve been room for us to do the classic longer tour because we loved this. We safely road through the city up to the top of the nearest volcano and down. We would totally do this again and loved Eddie’s comments and touring expertise.
Thanks so much for this review! Glad you enjoyed the tour 🙂. And glad you found it easy to find us - we’re loving our new premises on Princes Wharf 👍🏻
Was a blast, the tour guide Eddie was absolutely hilarious, saw so much of the city I would have never seen. If you have time in Auckland, it is a must do, the bikes were badass and the trails, especially the downhill heading back downtown was amazing, would do the tour again in a heartbeat.
Glad you had a blast on the tour! We love riding around Auckland, so it’s nice to share it with our visitors 👍🏻
We had a good time on our tour and Matt was very knowledgeable. He was great at letting us know where to ride, when turns were coming up and at keeping our group together.
Great to hear you had a great ride! 👍🏻
Eddie the owner & guide is a fantastic host and made our trip so much fun! Our group was 5 and several of us were first time riders he gave great instructions and took us on a great tour starting at the harbor that was a buzz of activity as the Gran Prix was sailing that day, then looping around Auckland and back to the pier. Eddie takes photos along the way and sends you a link afterwards at No Added fee! For anyone coming in on a cruise ship you’ll find Power to the Pedal a short 5 minute walk down the pier - so easy! He also points out many great shops and restaurants along the way so you can enjoy Auckland just like a local! This tour will be a favorite I’m sure and it’s a great value too!
What a fantastic review - really appreciated 🙏 It was an awesome day for an ebike ride!
Perfect way to start our visit to New Zealand. Thank you Matthew for your informative stories and humor. This was a perfect way to fight through our jet lag after 24 hours of travel, haha. Appreciate your restaurant suggestions as well! Eddie was very helpful with all our questions in the days and weeks before our tour. Highly recommend this to anyone as an introduction to Auckland. We were able to see so much more by bike.
Thanks for this perfect review!
My sister and I absolutely loved our eBike tour with Power To The Pedal. It was such a fun and easy way to explore Auckland, and the eBikes made getting around effortless while still feeling active. Our guide, Eddie, was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and really engaging. He shared interesting local history and insights, made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe, and kept the tour enjoyable from start to finish. We saw parts of Auckland we never would have found on our own, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our time in New Zealand. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Auckland!
Thanks Patti. Really appreciate this review. And so nice to hear you both enjoyed the tour! 🙌🏻
