About JollyBikes
JollyBikes is the longest-running e-bike and trail bike hire on the Hauraki Rail Trail, based at Richmond Street in the heart of Thames at the western base of the Coromandel Peninsula. The shop combines bike rental, a full repair workshop, shuttle transport, and guided trail tours, making it a one-stop base for riding the 197-kilometre rail trail network.
The fleet covers standard trail bikes and a strong line-up of electric bikes, with the team positioning themselves as e-bike experts for riders who want to cover more ground with less effort. Every hire comes fully equipped with helmet, pump, lock, saddle cover, puncture kit, and carrier at no extra cost. Six packaged Hauraki Rail Trail tours range from the beginner-friendly Easy Cheesy to the Gold Rush Tour and multi-day adventures, with shuttle pick-ups and drop-offs handling the logistics.
A community-minded operation, JollyBikes emphasises healthy, safe, and welcoming cycling for all ages and abilities. Long-term hire is available for extended trips, and the workshop keeps both hire bikes and customers' own machines rolling. For visitors exploring the mostly flat, well-graded rail trail through the Hauraki Plains and Coromandel, it is a reliable, experienced choice.
