MOUNTAIN BIKE ROTORUA
WE CARE ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY
“Ma ahau anake e whakapaingia te Ao”
It is my responsibility, and mine alone, to make the world a better place

MOUNTAIN BIKE ROTORUA IN THE COMMUNITY
The Tohu Experiences Whanau have been active members in community service projects since its inception in 1989. Whether it be social or environmental initiatives, we pride ourselves on being strong advocates of Kaitiakitanga. As part of the Tohu Group, Mountain Bike Rotorua are dedicated to being involved in the community. Here are just a couple of examples of how we get out and about:
​
-
Sponsors of the Rotorua Mountain Bike Club,
-
Sponsors of the Rotorua Trails Trust
-
Funders of Trees that Count, planting native trees when tours are booked.
-
Share the Ride Programme owners and managers. This includes Share the Ride with Whanau and Share the Ride for Xmas.
MOUNTAIN BIKE ROTORUA SHARE THE RIDE WITH WHANAU
Share the Ride with Whanau take families from the community who don’t have the means to buy new bikes and teaches riding skills, basic bike maintenance, provides familiarity of the forest services and trails and on successful completion of the 10 session program, brand new bikes and helmets.
For more info check out the Share the Ride with Whanau page.
MOUNTAIN BIKE ROTORUA SHARE THE RIDE FOR XMAS
The Share the Ride for Xmas programme is brought to you by Mountain Bike Rotorua and Giant Bikes NZ. This is your chance to do something nice for a friend, whanau member or just someone good in the community who you thinks deserves a little something special for Xmas.
​
The process is super simple, all we want you to do is fill out the form and tell us a little bit about who you want to nominate and why you think they deserve a bike for Xmas. ​
THE FEV - UPCYCLE FOR GOOD
​
The Tohu Group of companies is undertaking an ambitious project to produce an electric fleet of vehicles that is not only fit for purpose but also reduces our footprint on Papatuanuku (Earth Mother).
While electric vehicles provide a carbon-zero solution for emissions when in use, their production cost can be double the CO2 emissions of a similar internal-combustion-engine vehicle.
We are combating this particular issue by giving vehicles a second life, taking appropriate Recipient Vehicles, finding electric Donor Vehicles that are no longer roadworthy, and creating a Frankenstein Electric Vehicle (FEV).
​
We'll be detailing the build as we undertake this awesome project. Check in regularly here to see our progress, or keep an eye on our Insta and FB profiles for updates.
