Tākaro is a Hawke's Bay cycle tour and e-bike hire business, formerly Beach Bikes, with a hub at 26 Marine Parade in Napier. Its main base is listed as 9 Nelson Quay in Ahuriri. The website describes its tours as winery rides and multi-day cycle trips. Options include a full-day Cape Coast winery tour of five wineries, a 20 to 55 km ride to two to five wineries from Napier, a midday winery tour with shuttle, a cycle, swim and soak package with Ocean Spa, and corporate or group rides. The business also offers two- and three-day self-guided tours, and a new five-day Hawke's Bay Uncorked tour with e-bikes, meals, wine visits and accommodation, limited to ten people. The website is running a flash sale of $300 off per person for that tour, as at 2026, with limited places in March and April 2027. Standard and electric bikes are available for all sizes and abilities, and the shop is open Monday to Sunday from 9am to 5pm.
Customers say the staff are friendly and helpful, and that the tips on getting started on a tandem were useful. One who hired bikes on a short cruise stop said the bikes were in good condition and the price was fair. Another praised the range of bikes and the better service after a change of ownership. E-bikes and tandems come up most often, along with route advice and helmet hire.
