Motubikes electric motorbikes on Great Barrier Island

About Us

Motubikes

A Motubikes electric motorbike ready to ride

The Motubikes (‘Motu’ translates from te Reo Maori as ‘island’) concept is centered around being a very low environmental impact business while still offering a fun and exciting alternate means of travel around one of NZ’s most stunning natural environments. 

 

We are located a minute walk from Claris Airport, however we can deliver bikes or pick people up from all over the island - so if you are visiting by ferry or cruised over on a boat, you won’t miss out!​

Great Barrier Island

Located a short 30min scenic flight from Auckland or a 4hr ferry cruise, Aotea might as well be on a different planet from the city.

 

Off grid, wild and beautiful, it is a place to go to unwind and experience nature. For more information about Aotea/Great Barrier Island please visit: www.greatbarrier.co.nz, or get in touch to talk about places to go and things to see and do while you're here!
