“We are very pleased with The Inside Loop, electric bike tour. Carson was our group leader and is excellent with his caring for us, for our safety, and that we enjoyed the ride. Although I’m an experienced rider my wife is not. I was glad we spent time reviewing the functions and experience of these electric bikes. The bikes themselves are very functional and adapt to every rider skill level. The route is safe and well planned. We went about 10 miles (18 km). We did not have to ride in heavy traffic lanes with autos since there are extensive dedicated bike lanes. I highly recommend this tour of Auckland…”
