On Yer Bike Winery Tours — the wine-collection model worth copying
- URL: https://onyerbikehb.co.nz/ · Roy's Hill, between Bridge Pa and Gimblett Gravels
- Full-day hire, day-of-week pricing [VERIFIED —
/bike-hire-prices/] — a
genuine yield-management tactic:
| Saturday | Fri & Sun | Wed & Thu | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adult regular | $65 | $60 | $55 |
| Teen | $55 | $50 | $45 |
| Child | $40 | $35 | $35 |
| E-bike (adult) | $95 | $90 | $85 |
| Tandem (2 riders) | $130 | $120 | $110 |
- Half-day (1pm–5pm) is walk-ins only and cannot be pre-booked: regular $40
adult / $30 teen / $25 child; e-bike $65; tandem $80. All incl. GST.
No group discounts. Base open Thu–Sun year-round; summer starts
10:30/11:00/12:00, winter 11:00/12:00; 5pm return. - Wine logistics — the model to copy [VERIFIED]: "Buy your wine at a cellar
door before 3:00pm, and we will pick it up and have it ready for you to collect
at our base between 4:00 – 5:00 PM." Free. One afternoon run, one hard
cut-off, collection at base — not delivery to accommodation. Cheap to
operate because it is a single afternoon loop, not a roving vehicle. - Support: roadside assistance included with hire; contact 021 292 8080.
The FAQ does not address what happens if a rider is too tired or too drunk to
continue — a notable silence. - Fleet: 13 e-bikes (3 S, 5 M, 2 L, 3 XL) — a useful sizing benchmark.
- T&Cs are the most explicit alcohol terms found anywhere in this scan
[VERIFIED]: they may terminate the hire if riders are "found to be
intoxicated, or are seen drinking alcohol whilst riding". Abandonment
charge: $50 per bicycle recovered. Late return $5 per half-hour per bike.
Published damage schedule: buckled wheel $95, e-bike water damage to
motor/battery up to $900, lost e-bike $2,500. - Insurance wording: "Visitors to New Zealand must have full insurance due to
limited ACC cover." - Tasting fees: "$15 – $30 per person", sometimes waived against purchase.
- Booking: Checkfront + Stripe.
Takaro Trails — the most complete stack, and the only published delivery price
- URL: https://www.takarotrails.co.nz/ · Ahuriri, Napier
- Bike delivery to accommodation: "from $25 per person", varying by location
and group size. [VERIFIED] This is the single most directly relevant price
point in the whole scan for the Australian model. - Scheduled shared shuttles (people + bikes, price covers both) [VERIFIED]:
10am Cape Kidnappers $35pp; 2pm Taradale pickup $25pp; 4pm Havelock
North pickup $35pp. Daily, book early. Shuttle capacity up to 28 people. - Winery day tours [VERIFIED]: Cape Winery Tour from $115pp (16 km,

(20–55 km). - Two micro-add-ons worth stealing [VERIFIED]: the "No Worries Package" at
$5pp — guaranteed best bikes, gel seat cover, water bottle, phone holder, bike
theft insurance, and a carrier bag for wine purchases — and bike insurance
at $10pp. High-margin, friction-reducing attachments. - Multi-day self-guided, unbundled [VERIFIED] (4-day Food & Winery): tour base
$240pp + bike hire $200pp standard / $340pp e-bike + accommodation
~$150pp/night for 3–4 nights. Add-ons: Cape Kidnappers gannet tour $96pp,
Art Deco walk $35pp. They sell components separately rather than as one
bundled price — unusual and useful. - 2-Day "Baycation" packaged [VERIFIED]: $895pp luxury (Crown Hotel, Ahuriri)
or $695pp comfort (Rocks Motel, Westshore), including e-bikes, accommodation
and logistics. Single supplement $250–$450. Not available on public holidays
or event weekends. - T&Cs give asset values [VERIFIED]: "The average cost of Takaro electric
bikes is $4500, standard bikes $1000." No intoxication clause, no ACC clause.
Weather: "we may be able to offer alternatives."
