Bike and eBike Hire

Our fleet of standard bikes - Avanti Discovery 2 trekking bikes (standard and low entry) and our Black ATB eBikes, are both built around a total comfort concept.  Their upright ride position takes the pressure off your hands and wrists, and suspension forks and seat posts - plus a Rolls Royce  saddle - helps to smooth out the bumps.

About The Central Otago Rail Trail

Welcome to 152 kilometres of gently rising historic railway trail through incredible landscapes, followed by a gentle descent through even more spectacular scenery.  And lots of  great coffee.  And Big Skies. And wine.  And genuinely friendly people.  And wonderful places to stay.  You're going to love it.  But don't take our word for it - ask the thousands of people who regularly vote it New Zealand's best bike trail.
