We hire our own NZ-designed and Consumer NZ award winning ebikes by Sinch bikes. They are hard tailed bikes ideal for the kind of terrain we offer trips to.
We can access higher speced bikes for those people who want a bit more performance. If we hire from a third party, that hire company’s terms and conditions are between you and them. Pay carefully attention to their theft and damage clauses.
Bike hire is not included in each tour price and we encourage people to bring their own bike especially if you are driving to the start of one of our tours from a North Island location. However, if you are flying in from overseas or the South Island, we have you covered.

B.Y.O.B. – bring your own bike
That’s great! Here are a few things to note.
Important! You will need a mountain bike styled bike. Under no circumstances bring a road bike! Also, a full-on downhill MTB won’t give you all the gears you’ll want to climb. Gravel bikes can work on some trips too.
Make sure you have your bike serviced first as we are unable to provide much more than basic bike repairs on the trail. eg. puncture repair, chain repair, other problems like snapped derailleur, not so much.
Please BYO helmet and hi-viz vest.
Your bike is your responsibility at all times. You indemnify us from any damage to the bike in transit.
