On a wim, we hired electric bikes from Arrowtown and it turned out to be one of our best days while exploring QT area. We hired electric bikes to make it more comfortable and ride to Gibbston Valley Winery and back. Perfect afternoon and Meg was really helpful. Thanks heaps

We had an epic family bike ride. Thanks to staff at better by bikes for the mini lesson to make sure we were comfortable before setting off. The ride itself was a bit more hilly than expected so our youngest did a fair bit of pushing his bike up the hills but we eventually made

Great ride around Lake Dunstan Cycle Trail. The hotel pickup was on time (10mins early) very clean van, safe driver with plenty of humorous anecdotes about the local area. Bikes all in top condition all riders got free neck warmers and water. Then the ride - so much fun and

Awesome ride from the Hilton in QT to Arrowtown and back. The bikes were the best we’ve had around QT, and the service too. Meg was awesome with her care directions and the comfort and maintenance of the bikes. Next time we’re back I’d totally come back to Meg to look after us

What a great enabler an ebike is. I have my own but we rented 3 (including one for the 9 year old) and made a full day of it. Picked up at 9 am with a full set up briefing and instructions on usage (we had one new to the ebike). Cycled out from arrowtown long the 5 bridges

A stunning time of the year to ride from Arrowtown into the Gibbston Valley for lunch and wine tasting. Hiring the e- bikes from Better By Bike made it such a great day. Great bikes and excellent communication from Meg. Highly recommend this company.

Gibbston Valley Winery

Great spot for a slightly more formal sit-down restaurant option. We recommend having tastings at your table, a bit more personalised. It pays to book here during the summer season as it can get quite busy.
