I would highly recommend touring Moorea on e-bikes from E-Bike Moorea. They came to my hotel and delivered my ebike. Since this was a last second decision on my part, my main goal was to try and ride the island within the allotted 4hr time rental frame. While it is doable, I was starting around 1:30PM which is during the hottest part of the day (Nov 2024). I decided to head out counter clockwise (exiting right when you're leaving Manava). Despite the heat, I was having a blast and even had enough time to quickly stop at Snack Rotui about 3mi away. However, being under a time crunch and pedaling mostly uphill really hard for 26 miles with no water (being the idiot I am), I was forced to stop from exhaustion. Fortunately a quick call to E-Bike Moorea resulted in them quickly coming to my location at Moorea Grill to pick me up and drive me back to my hotel. If I had 8hrs to do this trek, I definitely could have made it around the island with time to spare to shop, explore, and eat more! I ended up only using about 1 bar (if that of the battery). The owners are very friendly and accommodating.
I would not hesitate to rent again from E-Bike Moorea!
