Queenstown to Arrowtown Mountainbike Ride
May 2016 we hired two electric mountain bikes from chargeabout bikes in Queenstown New Zealand. We rode from Queenstown to Arrowtown on a gorgeous Autumn day, had lunch and then rode back. On the cycle trails between Queenstown and Arrowtown there are quite a few hills but the bikes make short work of those. You get all the good bits of bike riding with none of the bad bits. It leaves you to focus on the scenery, which is spectacular. The cafe in Arrowtown has a recharge station so you can top-up your bikes while enjoying lunch. Queenstown is simply gorgeous and exploring the region by bike has got to be one of the best options, if you are ever visiting contact chargeabout.co.nz

Welcome to our family travel channel. In this episode, we give you a tour of one of our all-time favorite towns in the world - Arrowtown, New Zealand!

Arrowtown's more famous neighbor, Queenstown, is just a short drive away where we had access to every outdoor activity possible.
