Ride the Whakarewarewa Redwoods on a full‑suspension e‑bike: guided pickups to favorite trails, then independent laps through fast singletrack and rooty technical sections. Ideal for riders wanting longer laps with less grind.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push through a fringe of rimu and tōtara and the forest opens to packed dirt, roots skimming past like the ribs of the land. The Redwoods' trails rise and fall in quick, surf-like sections; the e‑bike gives you the power to climb without losing momentum, and the forest seems to lean in, daring you to ride faster.

Wildlife
History
The Redwoods began as early 20th‑century plantation forest managed for timber; trails have evolved from forestry roads into recreational singletrack used by locals for decades.
Conservation
Stick to marked trails to protect shallow soils and native understory; ride with clean tires to prevent spread of weeds and follow local track closures to aid restoration.

Monitor battery range
E‑bike batteries typically allow multiple laps, but plan routes to return with a reserve; ask guides about recommended loops for remaining charge.
Wear closed‑toe shoes and gloves
Closed, grippy shoes and light gloves improve control on roots and berms and are required by operators.
Hydrate and snack between laps
Bring a 1–2L hydration pack and compact snacks—the park’s climbs are short but repeated efforts add up.
Practice trail courtesy
Slow at blind corners, signal when passing, and yield to uphill riders to keep the flow and safety smooth.
Closed‑toe mountain shoes
Provide grip on pedals and protection over roots and rocks.
Hydration pack (1–2L)
Keeps you hydrated across multiple laps and stores snacks and a multitool.
Light cycling gloves
Improve control and protect palms during falls or brush.
Waterproof shell
Wind and rain are common; a breathable shell keeps you riding in wet conditions.
