Queenstown locals who
make riding easy

Whizzy exists to make your Queenstown ride feel easy

Queenstown is one of the best places on earth to explore on two wheels: lakeside trails, river gorges, suspension bridges and some of the world's best pinot noir. The hills are the only catch. An e-bike flattens them.

So you get to cruise the trail, take in the view, keep up with friends and family — and actually enjoy the climbs instead of dreading them.

Your ride: the Gibbston Valley wine trail

Whizzy now puts everything into one ride and does it properly. You get picked up in Queenstown, shuttled to the trail, handed a comfy e-bike and a route briefing, then left to explore the Kawarau Gorge and Gibbston's cellar doors at your own pace. When you're done, the shuttle brings you home.

Two more rides are on the way: an all-inclusive Mt Edward Winery Experience with a hosted tapas lunch, and a Bungy & Bike day off the Kawarau Bridge.

Meet the crew (yes, there are two Nicks)

Nick #1 owns Whizzy. He came to New Zealand on a holiday visa and never left. Now a dad of two, he'll have you laughing in the van and send you off feeling relaxed and confident.

Nick #2 has called New Zealand home since about 2010. A snowboard instructor by trade, he brings big energy to every briefing.

Cory knows the trails inside out. Calm and always close by, he's there in a heartbeat if you need help — including getting you home after a few cellar doors.

What riders say

"Nick picked us up right from our accommodation and took us to Arrowtown to start our self-guided wine tour. He provided maps, clear instructions, and made everything super easy and enjoyable. At the end of the day, he picked us up from our last stop. Fantastic service from start to finish."
