Go Ebike Loans
A free option to try before you buy
Borrow one of our ebikes for two weeks for free, and find out how it could work for you.
Yes — we really do loan them out for free!
We offer this to get more people riding, reduce carbon emissions, and support healthier, low-cost ways to get around. No hidden strings — just a chance to try an ebike and see how it fits your life.
How to choose an ebike to borrow
Choose from our range of commuter bikes if you are looking for an ebike to transport yourself, for example to get to and from work, run errands, or ride for leisure. If you are looking to transport children or cargo, check out our whānau/cargo bike models.
Ebikes are a great choice
- Reduce your carbon footprint
- Stop spending money on petrol and parking
- Improve your physical and mental health
- Get where you need to go quickly (without getting sweaty!)
- Cargo ebikes will help you carry those bulky items
WHERE to borrow an EBIKE
You can borrow an ebike from one of seven EcoMatters Bike Hubs in Auckland.
You’ll need to ride your ebike home because it can’t be transported by car or trailer.
