Hi Kiwibikers,
I've been trying to get some info regarding scooter hire in South Island - I want to borrow a bike for between 5 - 9 days in just under a month, ideally from CCH or Nelson, but not having much luck finding info online. Thought it might be better to ask on forums and this looks to be the biggest [ok, so far only!] forum I've found. Nice place you have here. I tried City Scooters in CCH who sell the Belladonna but they don't have any to hire of any of their smaller scooters - and it seems all the motorbike hire places I've seen so far charge and arm and a leg. Over here in Perth Oz, a 50cc will set you back equivalent of $NZ35 a day, or as little as $25 per day on a weekly hire. I don't mind paying a bit more than that, especially for a 150, but I don't really want to pay around $NZ 80 a day, bit out of my budget. I really don't like cages, haven't driven one in years, so just trying to get any info, or any riders out there with a spare scooter in either CCH or Nelson who would hire to a visiting Oz scooterist [happy to give decent security deposit]... any pointers, offers or assistance gratefully accepted!
