Highlights
Outing Highlights
A bike for every rider
Choose from comfortable step‑through models for an easier ride or hardtail mountain e‑bikes built for light trail work; all bikes are maintained by the operator to suit a range of abilities and terrain.
Direct access to regional trails
From the Cambridge base you can head onto the Te Awa River Ride or, from the Riverside Adventures Horahora Road base, link into the Waikato River Trails—options that let you tailor the ride from relaxed riverside cruising to light off‑road stretches.
Independent exploration, guided setup
A pre‑ride briefing, route suggestions and a map set you up before you depart; once you’re on the bike you’re free to stop, take photos and ride at your own pace within the four‑hour hire window.
