Cruz E Bikes is an electric bike shop at 14 Palazzo Drive in Papamoa Beach, Tauranga, that sells and rents e-bikes. Its website lists e-trekking and city bikes, e-mountain bikes, electric folding bikes and a balance bike for toddlers. Rentals are offered daily, weekly or monthly. The website also lists e-bike spare parts and says servicing is done on site, and it describes the NCM e-trekking and e-MTB bikes as suited to casual rides around the Mount and Papamoa trails and reserves.
Customers mention the e-bikes, the rentals and the easy pick-up most often. One group walked in without booking, rented e-bikes, and were given directions for their ride, which they called a great experience. Another customer bought two bikes after a test ride, and found pick-up easy because the bikes had been assembled and checked over by the shop. A third emailed about a fault and had the e-bike back running within a few hours of bringing it in. MeloYelo EBikes, 0.5 km away, is the other bike shop within a kilometre, and it is by appointment only. Our pick in Papamoa Beach for e-bike rental and quick repairs.
