Paddy's Powered Pedals is a premium e-bike hire business at 126 Pearson Road in Cromwell, Central Otago. It sits right next to the cycle trail, so riders can set off straight from the property. The website says each hire includes a helmet and local route advice, and that the bikes are high quality and well maintained. Hire runs from one hour to a full day, from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Sunday, and the website mentions special rates for Airbnb guests. It suits couples, families and visitors who want a relaxed ride.
Customers describe the bikes as brand new and perfect for the trail, and say the price was very reasonable. Riders have cycled out to Coffee & Burger Afloat and Carrick Winery, and along the Lake Dunstan Trail to Clyde. One customer says the bikes are light enough to ride alone without help. Customers often mention the friendly staff, who they describe as kind and helpful. Our pick in Cromwell for an e-bike day out to the wineries and cafés.
