Reviews of Switched on Bikes
J.Awesome experience. Group of 5 of us road round oriental parade, through to Mapuia prison, eastern and southern bays all the way round to Island Bay before heading back for 4pm along Happy Valley road. Multiple stops to picnic, cafes, etc.. Our GrabOne voucher deal made it great value for money. Riding uphill made it possible to get to explore hill, ridge line view points! Huge thanks to the friendly and very flexible team at Switch on Bikes. Always happy to please.
M.Rented mtb e bike. Rode to the windmill, vhf tower and red rocks. Bike had plenty of power for the time I rented. Only regret - not being more familiar with the trails from the windmills to Redrocks to see seals sun bathing. I got lost and hit some serious elevation. That was all on me, but made amazing memories!! Would rent again!
L.Great experience on a perfect day. Friendly helpful staff, good bike.
K.I leased an e-bike from these guys for 3 months then bought from them too. They offer a great deal where you can get up to 3 months lease costs off the full price of a new bike as a way to test out both whether you want to buy one and also, what kind of bike you want to buy. It was such a great value way to do this and I tried out a couple over the 3 months - one more a commuter ebike and one that’s one of their new EMBC range. Bought the EMBC from them. Brilliant customer service and advice. Great quality bikes. Highly recommend.
A.Great option to see Wellington in few hours!
As our cruise ship arrived to Wellington, we got a message from the bike shop that the weather might cause them to cancel the tour. We did the tour anyway and it was great! Genevieve, our tour guide, was very informative and fun. As she stopped to tell us about Wellington & NZ history, we also learn about the social & political dynamics of this beautiful capital city.
Most of the tour is on dedicated bike paths, so no need to deal with cars, except on few roads. There is a stop for drinks & snacks in a cafe, before heading to a hill that commands a 360 degrees of the Wellington harbor.
Riding the E-bikes made the tour easy & effortless. The guys at the bike shop were extremely friendly & handy, making the whole checking process fast and easy.
There are great eateries nearby to get good food after the ride.
L.Great service and ebike hire! Easy to switch to newer bike if available. Highly recommended!
Y.We had an amazing time using a e bike. Staff member treated us really well. Very informative and friendly. Will certainly be back again. Top marks you guys
J.Outstanding service! I had my bike booked in for some work before lockdown. I live out of town, so couldn’t justify coming in under level 3. Ryan and Eric kept in contact with me and proactively suggested a time that might work once we got to level 2. They managed my expectations and communicated exceedingly well. One part of my job did not work out, due to a fault with a part that I supplied. So they proposed to not charge me for that portion of the labour, until I could supply a replacement part. Since I got home, they have also been in touch with other ideas. I say again: Outstanding service.
J.Spectacular service, very friendly and good communication even through a long public holiday, can't wait to ride again
S.I was initially going to just hire a e-bike for the day but was offered a last-minute place on the Electric Bays Tour - it was informative, easy riding and much fun on the e-bike! Our guide Jimmy was friendly and told us lots of stories about Wellington and Maori myths. You should ask him about Māui's death... We rode the bikes all the way to the other side of the bay, and had a coffee (incl.) before heading back into town and up the Mt Vic lookout. Blessed with great weather all morning. Would highly recommend!
F.Friendly, efficient service & comfortable bikes. Highly recommend!
R.Excellent service! The friendly guy at shop fixed the puncture on our son’s pram on late afternoon during Easter Monday and by doing so saved our holiday! Luckily we found this place as every other bike shop was shut! Many thanks!
K.This is more of a customer services review than a product review.
I booked a session to use one of their electric bikes for the whole business day but I had unlucky timing, as I had booked for a session that would occur during an intense rainy and windy day.
The guy working there at the time was very understanding though, and gave me a full refund.
Their bikes looked really good though, I believe if I was able to ride them then I would've had a ton of fun.
W.Thanks to the Switched on Bikes team for a fun tour ... super easy on the eBikes.
E.Switched on bikes were great! Hired two electric bikes for the day, the perfect way to expore Wellington! Really helpful staff, good quality bikes and great tips on food and drink places on our trip, would recommend!
S.Friendly people and a very convenient location. We appreciated the area to practise our rusty cycling skills before setting off, and the suggestion of testing out our gears and e-bike motors on the ramps at the stadium was very helpful. Hiring an e-bike for a day really is the best way to experience Wellington and we had a fantastic time.
A.A great way to see wellington, especially on a windy day. The electric bike is great option when contending with the headwind or hills. There are also some great cafes to enjoy, which will make the journey less arduous.
C.Great place to rent bikes downtown on the waterfront. My girlfriend and I both rented mountain bikes and were very satisfied with the quality of the bikes but also the excellent customer service from Jimmy! He was very informative about the various trails around Wellington but also setting up the bikes perfectly for us.
Thanks again and keep it up!
C.Rented out high quality and very powerful Bosch bikes for a reasonable price and in an excellent location on the Wellington waterfront. The owner was friendly and didn't even mention is going a few minutes late on the rental. If you want to see the sights in Wellington, go here.
R.Excellent service and value for money. Bikes are very comfy...a perfect Wgtn experience.....explored a lot of places in 4 hrs!! 100% recommend using Switched o Bikes when in Wgtn
C.I bought an electric bike from here about 3 years ago. Whenever I return with a problem they go beyond their call of duty to help me. Today I had a brake problem and they did not have time to fix it so they lent me one of their bikes until they can repair mine. Fantastic service.
L.I bought an e-bike here a couple of months ago. They really took the time to talk me through the options and what would suit my plans for the bike, and were extremely communicative pre- and post-purchase. The bike has been fabulous too. Highly recommended if you're thinking about getting an e-bike.
R.Great way to tour Wellington's coastline and hilltops! Everything provided including useful guide map and friendly tips & advice. Bike was in excellent condition.
A.Decent service and would highly recommend a day out biking however my partner and I didn't get e bikes with the same performance which proved to be unfortunate and it would have been good if this was communicated to us when making our choice of bikes
j.Great way to discover Wellington, ebikes allows you to bike around this windy city mountais easily.
v.Great bikes to rent. Had 2 different bikes over 2 days, both worked flawless. Staff very griendly
D.Great staff and very well maintained electric bikes. Had an enjoyable day with my family on a recommended route. Considering buying my own E-bike as a result of this great day.
N.Awesome friendly crew, Audrey was a champion fixing my bike handles that were a mystery to other shops... the other guys Ryan and Stuart super helpful and helped me with a decent bike lock.... totally recommend this great local smaller business, head there for anything you need and they rent e bikes for a cruise around the city.... Thanks again for fitting me in as a walk in
C.Great place to rent an e-bike for a day or longer. Staff is friendly and very helpful. They have a great selection of normal and e-bikes. They offer guided tours also on the bikes. Well worth a visit if you want to rent a bike or considering buying one.
M.Had a great day out with my fiancee. The bikes are excellent condition and have a great range we didn't even drop below 90%. Great customer service and location.
N.We had so much fun! Great bikes, great service and the best way to discover Wellington, even when you have been living there for years. Thank you!
T.Really cool way to get around Wellington. Had a blast circling besides the coast to Weta caves and Red rocks afterwards. With the well maintained eBikes no problem at all. Great and friendly service with helpful tips and perfect problem solving. Appreciate it, guys.
E.Great service. Staff seem to really care.. really enjoyed the bike
B.Good prices, spent the afternoon cruising around. Give it a go!
T.Hired a MTB yesterday to ride the Rimutaka trail. The guys were very helpful with advice and tips on the trail, plus the bike performed very well so the 140km was an enjoyable ride! Would recommend and use again
A.We had a great time exploring the waterfront and Oriental Prade on bike, was impressed by the service and the range of bikes available including one for my 4yr old daughter. I would definately recommend this to anyone wanting to explore about further afield.
G.Excellent service. They dropped the bikes at our place at 11am and picked them up later in the day. Bikes worked perfectly.
M.Renting an ebike for a day is truly the best way to see the Wellington coast line. Highly recommended!
A.Man at front desk looked disorientated. Great options of bike though. Great experience of biking except communication at front desk.
N.Great idea, hire a ebike to enjoy Wellington. Ride round the bays and maybe venture up to the Mt Vic look out or go all the way to Scorching Bay.
J.Jimmy was an absolute blast. Great tour, great stories. 100% Recommended. Thanks Andy and Jimmy!
C.Christine & Gert first time e bike users. Great instructions friendly service awesome bikes at Switched on bikes

M.(Translated) Even before coming to New Zealand, I easily booked a bicycle. The bike itself is great, a helmet and a map on which I was marked for good cycling routes and places where the wind makes riding very difficult. I highly recommend :)

Jeszcze przed przyjazdem do Nowej Zelandii bez problemu zarezerwowałem rower. Sam rower świetny, do tego kask i mapa, na której zaznaczono mi trasy dobre do jazdy rowerem oraz miejsca, w których wiatr mocno utrudnia jazdę. Bardzo rekomenduję :)
