Velocity Karts

Two great choices of outrageous fun on 3 wheels: -Wind powered blokart (land yachts) and Electric Driftkarts. We have two purpose built tracks in Christchurch where you can hire a kart and have some fun with family, friends and colleagues. Blokarts are an amazingly inclusive activity for all ages (8 to 80+) and abilities. We have 2 person karts for those who aren't quite able to go it alone or prefer to share the experience. Being powered by nature ticks the sustainability box for guilt free fun. Grab a group of 6-12 people and try our our unique Human Foosball, the only one of it's kind in Christchurch. Just like the table game except you are the players. Hilarious fun and as competitive as you want this complements our energy efficient activities, harnessing Human Power. Fun for all, individuals and groups.

Excellent outfit; very attentive, understanding (when the conditions during the holidays weren't up to scratch for the karts to really go - winds too light - they were more than happy to rebook the time for another day when there was more action free, which was great!). My 3 younger kids had an absolute blast, and loved it (second time around when there was enough wind to go properly!). I would highly recommend this to anyone - I consider it really good value for money. Really friendly and helpful staff; really good equipment and set up. Definitely going again!

If you’re looking for a rental bike to ride at Christchurch Adventure Park, Epicentre Cycling is the place for you. They are responsive to bookings and so friendly and helpful to make sure the bike is set-up right for you. The bikes are well maintained and serviced and I had no issues during the five day hire. I had the opportunity to ride a Trek, which was perfect for the green trails, and then the Santa Cruz Nomad, which was perfect for the blue trails. Epicentre Cycling is ideally located en route to Christchurch Adventure Park and is an easy 3km ride if you don’t have your own transport. I highly recommend this team to get you going with your Christchurch riding adventure, whether at the park or beyond.

I booked a ride and stay in with Otaūtahi motor rentals on a whim late last year as an Xmas pressie to myself. I’ve got to say, Douglas and Lynda’s hospitality and range of classic and modern motorcycles is second to none. Had a beautiful time riding the port hills and the bays followed by a spa and glass of bubbles next to a fire. Incredible.x
