Far higher than expected.
Our first experience on electric bikes. We anticipated doing the coastal loop but decided to do the lava loop, to the summit road and down a gravel stock route. We are average fitness and managed it surprisingly well. The e-bikes flattened the hill climb, Spectacular views on the the way and at the top. Greville, our guide was friendly, informative and organised. We would fully recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good two hour eco friendly excursion.

Great views and equipment
The tour operators were great and knowledgeable. They gave us a brief overview on how to use an e-bike and then equipped us with gloves, helmets, safety vests, and riding packs then off we went. The guides made sure every one was able to shift and power their bikes on a quiet back road before heading out onto a bit more of a busier street. There was a little riding along with cars but for the most part, we had the roads to ourselves. Really nice trek to the top of a big hill with lots of opportunities to stop for water or take pictures. Then a long down hill passed sheep and cows. I have ridden a bike before but this was my first time on one with power assist. It was a lot of fun.

Fantastic!
My butt hurts because I’m not a cyclist, I haven’t been on a bike since intermediate school and this was well worth it! Our guide was really lovely and the ride was stunning. Love how the e-bike makes hills easy. I’d do this again in a heartbeat.
