Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE FLEET

Versatile, well‑maintained e‑bikes

Choose from step‑through commuter models and hardtail mountain e‑bikes maintained by Riverside Adventures Waikato, suited to casual riders and those wanting light off‑road capability.

THE ROUTE

Direct access to river and rail trails

From the Cambridge base you can head onto the Te Awa River Ride; Riverside Adventures’ Horahora Road base gives direct access to the Waikato River Trails, opening multi‑day options across local parklands and longer trail systems.

THE FREEDOM

Keep the bike for consecutive days

Multiday hires let you retain your chosen bike across consecutive days, with a pre‑ride induction, maps and local tips so you can self‑navigate at a relaxed pace or string together longer trail experiences.

What the day feels like

What the multi‑day hire feels like

You arrive at the base 15 minutes before your start for a fitting and safety briefing, pick the bike that suits your ride style, accept a map and local tips, then head out to explore the Te Awa River Ride, Waikato River Trails or nearby rail and forest tracks at your own pace — pausing where you like and returning the bike by the end of your hire period.
