Most amazing e-bike ride!
My husband and I rented e-bikes for the day and biked to the vineyards in Gibbston and the Gibbston Valley Winery. The e-bike company offered to pick us and the bikes up and take us back to Queenstown at the end of the day. It was such a beautiful and fun ride along a mostly gravel trail. The scenery of mountains, rivers, forest, valleys, cliffs, and vineyards was breathtakingly beautiful! I would highly recommend this.

Great experience
Fantastic experience great hire company - very helpful and friendly - waited past their closing to ( 10 mins ) for us to return. The 22 mile route was excellent to cycle upon .
Response from the operator: Thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear you enjoyed the route, and we were able to stay a few extra minutes so you could return the bikes. Hope to see you again.

The Arrowtown to Queenstown bike track is a must do, the scenery changes are amazing!
The ride from Arrowtown to Queenstown was amazing, it is a must do. The scenery is ever changing and the ride at points can be a little challenging especially navigating the very high suspension bridges. We stopped for a swim, watched bungee jumping and we all said on future holidays we should investigate bike rides in these locations (def e-bikes). My 4 not 5 star review is the customer experience ad some of the interactions with shop staff was less than impressive. When we arrived and checked in I was glad we got checked in with the staff member I did, I watched and listened to the other staff member who was borderline rude to the guests she was supposed to be serving. We then were collected by the bus driver who was very pleasant and then final before the ride the gentleman who did our safety presentation was excellent, great presenter. We then went off on our ride as we tried to conquer the harder hills (thank god e had the e-bikes) my daughter and I could see my wife struggling a bit. We discussed what gears we used and speed of e-bike with her and off we went again. She was still struggling but we just thought it was user error. About 2/3 of the way my wife & I exchanged bikes and immediately I could see it was not user error but a faulty bike with there seeming to be an issue with the chin/gears. I road the bike with issue most of the way back to Queenstown as my wife was definitely more exhausted then my daughter and myself who had a great experience on our original bikes. On getting back to the office unfortunately we were greeted by the staff member I had seen provide poor service in the morning, on advising her we had issues with the chain, she was completely uninterested and dismissive and changed the subject to focusing on us returning our helmets to the rack. So as I said the ride is a must but the customer experience is a bit 50/50!
Response from the operator: Hi Robert, Thank you for your review. It sounds like you had a great time on the beautiful Queenstown trail. We’re sorry to hear there was an issue with the bike your wife was provided and the customer service in the shop. We do want to emphasize that during the briefing and in the key information provided at check-in, we make it clear that if there are any issues with the bikes, our contact number is listed on all of our equipment. We are within 15-20 minutes of all areas of the trail and are always happy to provide a replacement bike to ensure that the day is as enjoyable as possible for everyone. We’re glad to hear that the rest of your day was worthy of a 5-star experience!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Explore Queenstown's Scenic Trails with an Electric Bike: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Queenstown.
How much does Explore Queenstown's Scenic Trails with an Electric Bike cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Queenstown usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Explore Queenstown's Scenic Trails with an Electric Bike take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Queenstown is not rushed.
Is Explore Queenstown's Scenic Trails with an Electric Bike worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Queenstown, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Explore Queenstown's Scenic Trails with an Electric Bike?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Explore Queenstown's Scenic Trails with an Electric Bike suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Explore Queenstown's Scenic Trails with an Electric Bike?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Queenstown can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Queenstown and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Explore Queenstown's Scenic Trails with an Electric Bike start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Queenstown within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Queenstown?
+
On Outty we rank every Queenstown experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Milford Sound Small Group Tour & Cruise from Queenstown, Milford Sound Premium Small Group Tour & Cruise from Queenstown, Award Winning Premium Wine Tour Queenstown Tasting at 4 Wineries. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Queenstown?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Queenstown?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
