Ōtaki Bike Space
Te Wāhi Pahikara o Ōtaki
Heading towards carbon neutral, by bike.
Have a bike to pass on, or want one?
Since 2017 we've revamped your donated bikes and given them away.
Why? Biking (not driving) local trips of just 2-3km can cut Ōtaki's transport emissions by 40%.
And save energy. And reduce waste. And boost people power!
It's a win-win. (A spin-spin.)

Can anyone get a bike? Is it free?Yes! Koha is appreciated.

Do you want my bike? Where can I drop it off?Is your bike in pretty good condition? Needing no or only minor repairs? Then yes please. You can bring your bike/s to Energise Ōtaki's office between 10am-2pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays. Or if that's not possible, email Kirsty to arrange a pick-up.

I'm not sure if my bike is in good enough condition. How do I find out?If you think your bike might need more than a minor repair, please send us a photo or a description of it. That will help determine if it is worth repairing salvaging for parts or sending to recycling.

Do I have to know how to repair bikes to volunteer?No! There's a job for everyone.
