Riders need to be 16 or older and hold a valid NZ Class 1 (car) or Class 6 (motorcycle) 'Learners Licence' or higher. The exact rules follow NZ road rules for the moped class, and we walk every family through what applies before the first ride.
Moped, fully-comp insurance, NZ-certified helmet, a weatherproof helmet bag, rider training at Handover, regular servicing, roadside assistance and a tyre pump - low tyre pressure plays a big role in riding safety.
Every new hire, we sanitise the helmet and replace the inner pads. At Handover we also cover the basics of riding kit (closed-toe shoes, cover bare skin, gloves recommended etc.) and how to get help if something goes wrong.
Comprehensive insurance is included.
Normal wear-and-tear from careful commuting is on us. Damage from crashes, neglect, or misuse sits with you under the excess. We have a scratch/dents measurement tool that we’ll use at Handover/Handback that we’ll walk you through when you pick the moped up.
We have a thorough Accident Procedure in place, just in case.
This will depend on how the rider rides. From full-charge, you should expect to get well over 100kms; plenty for a normal school week of short hops around Kāpiti. Charge overnight at home the same way you’d charge a phone. It costs around $1 to fully charge!
• 6 months: $85 per week
• 9 months: $80 per week
• 12 months: $75 per week
That covers the moped, fully-comp insurance, NZ-certified helmet, weatherproof helmet bag, rider training at handover, regular servicing, roadside assistance and a tyre pump.
The only thing it doesn’t include is charging. You charge it at home but it only costs less than a $1 to fully charge.
By hiring with us, your child gets themselves about and you’ll save a lot more on time and cost!
Coming to Kapiti in November.

No. Only a clean, valid NZ Class 1 ('Learners Licence') as a minimum requirement.
Yes. We’ll run you through using the moped and Rightway Riding Academy deliver the ‘Scooter Survival’ programme.
Only the named rider on the agreement. Sharing with siblings or friends voids cover.
No, we don't actively track anyone. GPS is fitted on the moped for battery health, theft recovery, and servicing. We don’t watch daily trips. We only check location for theft, crash or critical battery alerts, or late return.
Roadside assistance is included. Call the roadside number we give you at handover and they’ll take care of you.
At home, overnight. Easy as; just like charging a phone.
