Start at Frankton Beach, cross the historic bridge, ride through an actual 19th-century gold mining tunnel, then follow the wild Shotover Gorge back to town via Arthur's Point.
LAUNCHING SOON
A local guide takes you out on the trails. Plant a native tree, ride some of the best scenery in the basin, and finish with a free burger at Altitude.
LAUNCHING SOONNo car. No faff. No excuses.
Most e-bike hire means finding a shop, hiring a car to get to the trail, then riding back the same way. We've cut all of that out. Show up, ride, drop the bike. Done.
Meet your shuttle at one of our pickup stops along Frankton Road. Bikes loaded, briefing done, helmets fitted. Your shuttle heads straight to the trailhead — you just enjoy the ride up.
Your trail. Your pace. Stop at a cellar door, take a photo, answer the call of nature in front of a stunning view. The motor handles the hills — you handle the fun.
The trail brings you back into Queenstown through the Hugo Tunnel Track. Drop your bike at our town drop stop and you're done — no shuttle needed, no extra charge.

The Whizzy philosophy
Most winery tours involve a bus, a script, and a schedule. Whizzy is the opposite. We shuttle you to the start of the Gibbston Valley trail, hand you a premium e-bike, and let you ride back through the gorge at your own pace — stopping at whichever cellar doors take your fancy.
No groups. No timetable. No designated driver. Just you, the trail, and 8 cellar doors between you and Queenstown. The motor handles the hills so you can handle the pinot.
Gibbston Valley, Peregrine, Kinross, Chard Farm and more. Stop at all of them or just the ones that catch your eye.
We get you to the trail. You ride home through the Kawarau Gorge. No car, no bus, no faff.
Powerful motors that flatten the hills. First-time riders and seasoned cyclists both love them.
We ride these trails every week. You'll get the best cellar doors, the right lunch spot, and the exact place where the view will stop you.
★★★★★ Rated 5.0 on TripAdvisor
"Nick dropped the bikes off at our Airbnb and we had the most amazing day touring the Gibbston wineries. The hills we were dreading were totally manageable. This was hands-down the best day of our Queenstown trip."
"We had 14 people in our group. Whizzy sorted everything — the door-to-door service made it completely stress-free. Can't recommend highly enough."
"I was worried I wasn't fit enough — I hadn't ridden a bike in years. The e-bike made it completely manageable. We did the Gibbston Wineries Ride and I'd have happily kept going. Whizzy treats you like a mate."
Common questions
Not at all. The electric motor handles the hills — you just steer and enjoy the view. First-time riders and people who haven't cycled in years come all the time. Everyone manages it fine.
Every rider gets a hands-on briefing before heading off. Within five minutes you'll feel completely comfortable. It's genuinely one of the easiest things to pick up.
Just call us. We'll come and collect you wherever you are on the trail. You're never stranded — that's a promise. The Hugo Tunnel Track back into town is mostly flat and easy, but if the legs give out we've got you covered.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your booking. If the weather turns or your plans change, just let us know and we'll rebook or refund — no fuss.
Pickup stops include Steamer Wharf (Town Centre), The Rees Hotel, Novotel Lakeside, Hilton Queenstown, and Remarkables Park — all along Frankton Road. If none of those suit, add a note when booking and we'll sort something.
Your e-bike, helmet, trail map, shuttle to the trailhead, and a proper briefing from the team. The ride back into town is part of the experience — the Hugo Tunnel Track brings you straight back to Queenstown. Nothing hidden.
Absolutely — groups of 14 and more are no problem. Get in touch and a package will be put together that works for your group size and preferred ride.
