                            The tours often pass through farms and villages where residents  welcome visitors
                          with open arms. “Everyone we’ve talked to has been excited to be involved,” Ren
                          said.
                            “In Fiji, people are always saying, ‘Come, our door’s always open.’
                            "We design the tours to be inclusive, using electric bikes with pedal-assist features
                          that make them accessible to riders of all fitness levels.
                            “If you haven't ridden in a while or are scared of hills, you can switch,” Ren explains.
                            iBike Fiji aims to tap into the growing adventure travel market, which is expected
                          to surpass US$1 billion globally by 2030.
                            The business is also committed to promoting sustainable tourism.
                            "Adventure  and  immersion  are  the  essence  of  iBike  Fiji,"  Brad  Campbell
                          emphasised.
                            "We’re excited to be one of the first in Fiji to offer off-road electric bicycle tours.
                          Our guided tours will provide an experience that’s fresh, unique, and electrifying."
                            He  says  the  tours  aren’t  just  about  adventure;  they  also  foster  cross-cultural
                          exchanges, enriching the traveller’s experience while supporting local communities.
                            “Visitors are becoming more curious about local history and traditions,” Ren said.
                          “A tour with iBike Fiji provides exactly that.”
                            As the business continues to grow, it plans to expand its offerings with more
                          customisable and multi-day tours.
                            The  team  is  also  creating  a  micro-gear  shop  to  promote  cycling  in  the  local
                          community.
                            “We can’t wait to show everybody what we’re doing,” Ren shared excitedly.
