E-bike expo in November

Auckland’s “eBike Expo” returns to The Cloud at Queen’s Wharf on the weekend of November 26 and 27 after last year’s event was cancelled due to COVID uncertainty.

A huge display of e-bikes and e-scooters will be provided, along with the chance for test rides at the venue, expo organiser Icon Conference and Event Management managing director Marleen Goedhart says.

It will follow a similar format to last time, with more e-mobility on offer and probably further advice on helping to prevent e-bike thefts.

“The global electric bike industry is growing at a considerable rate and continues to develop and evolve with increasing speed as we move into a more environmentally friendly and technology-centric future,” organisers say.

“Since e-bikes have been introduced into the New Zealand market and new cycleways have encouraged commuters to try alternative transport options, we are witnessing exponential industry growth and frenzied interest in e-bikes.”

The third expo was held in 2020 with e-bike sales soaring, the coming event running from 9.30am to 5pm both days.

Entry tickets for the fourth eBike Expo will be on sale later, costing $5 adult and $15 a family of four.
