Retailer spotlight: Rotorua Electric Bike
The Bike movement has been building for a long time in Rotorua, with great rides, trails and tracks such as The Skyline Mountain Bike Park, The Redwoods and The Thermal Explorer Cycle Trail. It’s no wonder, because Rotorua Electric Bike have been supporting riders for many years now. The team are now installing Follo Trackers in store for cyclists who want to protect their investment, so please ask the team about how our tracker can benefit and save you time, money and resources recovering a stolen bike. They do sales and service and hire e-bikes for you to try, so if you haven’t already, get to Rotorua for some cycle tourism, and don’t forget to pop in to Electric Bike Rotorua while you’re there.

🌿 Trail Adventure Tip 🌿
We love sharing our riding adventures with you, and this one is definitely worth adding to the list 👌
The Waihāhā Hut Track is a shared-use backcountry trail on the western side of Lake Taupō, winding alongside the beautiful Waihāhā River through shrubland and dense Lush native bush before reaching the Waihāhā Hut.
🚵♂️ Grade 4 / Advanced
📍 Approx. 9km one way (18km return)
Expect a real backcountry experience with narrow sections, rocks, roots, technical terrain, and a few spots where less experienced riders may choose to walk.
As this is a shared trail, please ride with care, respect other trail users, and know your limits 👍
A seriously rewarding ride for those looking to explore beyond the usual trails 🌲

🚨 The wait is over! 🚨
The update you've all been asking about has finally landed.
From 7 July, eligible Bosch Gen 5 CX E-bikes can be upgraded from 32 km/h to 45 km/h. 🚀(view below)
Updating is easy:
⚡ Book your bike into the EBR workshop.
⚡ We'll submit the request to Bosch.
⚡ Once processed (can take a couple of days), we'll install the update and you'll be good to go.
Compatible motor systems:
✔ Performance Line CX (BDU384Y)
✔ Performance Line CX-R (BDU386Y)
✔ Cargo Line (BDU384Y)
It's taken a little longer than many hoped, but if there's one thing the Germans are known for, it's taking the time to get things right. Bosch has thoroughly tested and validated this update to ensure it delivers the performance riders expect without compromising the reliability the brand is famous for.
Not sure if your bike is eligible? Check the Bosch Flow app (see the second image), or flick us a message and we'll check for you.
📅 Bookings open from 7 July.
✅ Book here > https://bookings.hubtiger.com/bikes?shop=HUB.5F53F51961544805AA453B92150C76B5509B3899C3D24CE798410A4EE0F88883.TIGER&lang=en
