Switched On Bikes: Electric Bike Hire And Guided Tours Of Wellington
Project 2015-04-06 16:32:22 +1200
Switched on Bikes brings Electric Bike Hire and Guided Tours to Wellington.
We want to provide a fun, unique and green way to explore our capital city. eBikes are just like regular bikes but the electric assist gives you a good boost heading up Wellington's hills and helps you ride further. eBikes are so much fun to ride! We've got five electric bikes that have been eating up Wellington's hills, but we need five more to be operating properly.
Switched on Bikes is being supported by the Smart Energy Challenge and the Wellington City Council, get this...
Every pledge that you make gets matched dollar-for-dollar by the Wellington City Council.
For those of you who support us at this early stage, we're offering extremely good value eBike hire and tours and memberships for locals. There are other fun rewards too. You could pledge for these for yourself or keep the voucher for when a friend visits Wellington.
Our eBike tours are going to be unique, fun and quirky- we reckon that 'Barry's Bus Tours' or 'Wendy's Walking Group' just doesn't cut it for the modern traveller. We're going to be telling wonderful tales of Cuba St, visiting the best cafes and checking out Wellington's craft beer breweries- sitting down for a pint once the riding is done. eBikes also allow riders to get further than they thought possible- Miramar Peninsula to the South Coast, Brooklyn Wind Turbine and Zealandia are all within reach.
Switched on Bikes will support local initiatives that encourage more people to ride bikes and who advocate for better bike lanes in Wellington. eBikes are a realistic alternative to a commute by car and we'll be providing free eBike hire through community groups so people can 'try my bike'- we've already kicked this off by providing raffle prizes of eBike hire to Karori by Bike.
We really hope you can support us so we can really get rolling! You can also find out more about us at switchedonbikes.co.nz or on Facebook
Thanks!
