FAQ: Can you ride the Otago Central Rail Trail in Winter? ❄🚲

The Otago Central Rail Trail is open 365 days of the year. We operate year-round, however it is important to note that Winter is the ‘off season’, and many providers along the trail close for the winter months as it is much quieter.

While a hoar frost like this doesn't happen every winter, it will still be very cold, crisp and icy! If you are keen to ride this Winter, be sure to get in touch with us for some top tips to make your ride enjoyable.

INTRODUCING Levo R Electric Rally e-MTB from

This category-creating Electric Rally e-MTB bring new riders into the sport that built on the same SuperNatural power platform, engineered for a different kind of rider and a different way of riding.

Where Levo 4 is our full-power Electric Trail benchmark, Levo R creates a new category, "Electric Rally" for riders who favour a downcountry-style ride. It’s lighter, sharper and more instinctive, without giving up the muscle and range riders expect from Levo.

Throwback Thursday! For almost 13 years, Bike It Now! has been 100% locally owned and operated.

Originally a smaller Clyde-based Bike Hire and Cycle Tour Business, Bike It Now! expanded to include a full workshop and retail in 2013. In 2019, we then opened our second retail store in Cromwell in The Mall, followed by our third retail store opening in Three Parks, Wanaka in 2022. Our Cromwell branch then moved to a brand new build in front of The Gate Hotel.

Over the years, we have provided great tours with the best rental bikes, alongside our Bike & Accessories retail and workshops. All to ensure everyone has the best Central Otago experience.

With more and more cycle trails being built in and around the region, we are excited to see what the next 13 years brings!
