Adventure South NZ on the Kawarau Gorge Trail
The short answer
Adventure South NZ hires Sinch e-bikes on the Kawarau Gorge Trail — 32km, grade 2–3, intermediate, usually ridden in 1 day. There is no depot on the trail itself — it is ridden as a guided or delivered trip from its base in Christchurch. Small-group guided cycling holidays, fully supported, with Sinch e-bike hire added at booking.
Opens 19–20 September 2026, finally linking the Gibbston wineries to Bannockburn and Lake Dunstan.
