Embark on a full day bike ride that begins high in the rugged hills of the iconic Gentle Annie route, where sweeping views of Mt Ruapehu and the surrounding ranges set the tone for a memorable adventure. After a scenic drive to the starting point, you will enjoy a relaxed ride back toward River Valley Lodge, following a route that blends wide open landscapes, peaceful farmland, and long steady descents that invite you to simply enjoy the flow of the journey. The changing scenery and quiet country atmosphere create an unforgettable experience for riders seeking both beauty and tranquillity.
As you travel through remote stations and cross the flowing waters of the Rangitikei River, the ride offers moments of gentle challenge along with refreshing opportunities to pause and take in the atmosphere. Riders may even choose to cool off with a swim on warm days, adding a refreshing touch to the adventure. With optional e-bike hire, a variety of bike sizes, and a comfortable shuttle to the trailhead, this experience is designed to offer a smooth, enjoyable, and flexible day of exploration for riders of all backgrounds.

Customer Reviews
Danielle
I went through this store with my cycle to work scheme and the whole experience was great. I’m newer to cycling so he answered all my questions thoroughly and was really kind. Highly communicative and reliable!
Chris
Bought a Fiido M1 pro the other week from here and it's been one of the best purchases I've made in years. Could not thank the owner enough for his amazing customer service! Absolutely happy out with everything 😁
Ian
Just bought an Engwe Pro 2.0 from David. What a great bike and wonderful service. Helped me with the Bike to Work Scheme and gave me great advice on which model to go for. Everything was really easy to do and on time. Thanks again for everything.

Absolutely will be recommending this bike shop to friends. Had the bike we wanted on the bike to work scheme at a reasonable price. We had quite specific requirements and add ons all of which were handled by the owner with ease. Even made sure bike was ready with all the bespoke elements for collection quickly as we needed it to begin work/school run. Took time to run through how to operate and charge the bike and even sought items he didnt stock to ensure order was exactly what we needed. Great service and products.

Great experience with Dave in Electric Avenue. I’m new to cycling and needed help finding the right bike that was neat and could get me from A to B. He picked out a suitable bike and accessories that fit my bike to work scheme cert. Such an easy bike to use for a nervous cycler and top of the range safety equipment. Highly recommend and will be referring to friends!
