You can transport anything, including fully-assembled bicycles, with ease. Wise Move offers a network of transporters who can deliver your bicycle at competitive rates across New Zealand. Discover how our service works.
While you have several options for transporting your bicycle in New Zealand, using a dedicated transport service is often the simplest. Alternatively, you could transport your bike by aeroplane, which has its own advantages and disadvantages.
One advantage of air travel is that your bike can be checked as an oversized item, ensuring it travels with you and is available upon arrival at your destination.
However, flying with a bike requires you to dismantle it, which is time-consuming. Additionally, purchasing a proper bike case, although costly, is necessary to protect your bike from potential damage by baggage handlers.
Air transport is not an option for e-bikes. Airlines in New Zealand do not permit e-bikes in cargo holds because their lithium batteries are considered hazardous due to their size.
Traditional shipping companies that handle regular parcels often find bike shipping expensive and do not specialise in it.
With Wise Move, you can save on costs and effort by opting for our unique service that does not require boxing or dismantling your bike. Choose from a wide range of transporters who specialise in bike transport and offer secure transport solutions by attaching your fully-assembled bicycle safely to the truck wall.
This method eliminates the need for costly packing materials and time-consuming assembly and disassembly, making it a convenient and secure option for bike transport.
Shipping a bicycle is more straightforward than you might think. Follow these three steps:
Start by providing an accurate description of your bicycle, including its transport time, pick-up and delivery locations, and its dimensions. Specify that your bike will be transported fully assembled. The more details you provide, the more precise your quote will be.
Upon posting your listing, various companies will submit quotes. This gives you a chance to ask questions and engage directly with the companies to gauge their experience, professionalism, and responsiveness.
Wise Move allows carriers to display customer feedback on their profiles. This transparency helps you understand their experience with bike transport and read reviews from past customers.
After reviewing their profiles and interacting with them, you can confidently select the best transporter for your needs, who will transport your bicycle without the need for disassembly or boxing.
After selecting a carrier, maintain communication for any further questions or details. Sharing any third-party contact information can facilitate a smoother shipment process. Coordinate the pick-up and delivery details with your carrier. For any concerns, our team at Wise Move is always ready to assist throughout the transport process.
The average cost of shipping a bicycle varies based on distance. For distances less than 100 km, the cost is approximately $0.80 per kilometre. For longer distances, up to 1,000 km, the rate is reduced to about $0.20 per kilometre.
