River Riders NZ

Staff were really helpful. They made sure I was comfortable on my bike before embarking, made sure i knew the settings (i got the ebike and have never used one before), provided some amazing advice on the track to ngaruawahia, the bike itself was perfect for the afternoon ride. I would definitely recommend river riders to anyone stopping in hamilton on a nice day and want something to do for a few hours! The views along the river were also a highlight. Thanks alot team, I will be back when the Cambridge section is open

We had a great half day hire and rode the new Te Awa trail from the Velodrome. Easy to deal with and accommodating when they had a large booking but still fitted us in. Highly recommend :)

Me, my wife and two year old kid had a fantastic ride from Hamilton to Ngaruawahia. It was the most wonderful experience for our son to ride on a bike as well enjoy the fabulous landscapes. The staff are extremely nice. This was our first ebike experience and felt amazing. We rented two bikes and had the child on a child seat comfortably attached to one of the ebikes. We had a lovely family time out and lots of fun along the way. Would love to do it again.

Wonderful experience. My mother (78yrs) and I were well supported to have our first ride on an electric bike. Then enjoyed 2 hours on the Te Awa river ride. Thank you so much. Diana & Rosalie.

My 11 month old and I had a fantastic time biking on an e-bike with a child seat along the river from central Hamilton to Ngaruawahia, to the Hamilton Gardens, and biking around Hamilton and Cambridge. Just beautiful cycle tracks - definitely a must do! The team at River Riders were friendly and helpful, and were dedicated to giving us the best biking holiday. The e-bike was great, they gave great instruction on how to use the e-bike, the breakdown service was a lifesaver when we had a puncture in Ngaruawahia, and they got us up and running again. Thank you for a great experience. Highly recommended!

Thanks to the River Riders team my family and I were able to spend an enjoyable few hours riding the Te Awa trail. They even organised someone to meet us with the bikes on the public holiday. Highly recommend.

Family friendly service - the river riders team were incredibly helpful, delivering a bike to me, making sure it was the right size and lots of helpful advice as we had a amazing experience cycling the Te Awa trail. Excellent service also from electrify in Hamilton who swapped a fully charged battery for me.

We hired 2 e-bikes from River Riders and cycled from Ngaruawahia to Pukete. We thoroughly enjoyed the cycle. Dan and his lovely family were super friendly and especially helpful. Everything was catered for. I can highly recommend River Riders!

Hired two ebikes for my parents today. Dan had everything set up in Ngaruawahia ready for us. He gave my parents some quick tuition on the bikes and we were soon making our way on the Te Awa river cycle path. The bikes were perfect for my parents, they were easy to use, step-through, well set up and provide plenty of adjustable assistance thanks to the electric motor. We covered some 20km and the battery was barely showing any signs of use. The range on these must be incredible! It was great to ride with my parents as without the e-assistance, they would have never joined me for such a ride. A great cycle ride was enjoyed by all. If you are considering this ride, do it. It's perfect for less experienced cyclists. If you are thinking if hiring an ebike, Dan from RiverRidersNZ is the man to see. You will not be disappointed. An easy 5 stars.

My wife and I hired two bikes from Dan at Garden Place using a two for one deal.We travelled north of the city along the river and seen many sights and perspectives we haven't seen before even as Hamilton locals. After that we travelled to the Hamilton Gardens and enjoyed the Gourmet in the Gardens event.I'd recommend that people give this a go: it's a good way to spend an evening and it wasn't a hassle to find parking for such a large event.
