GIVE a Bike
Make someone smile
Giving us a bike? Bikes can be dropped to the OneBike Hub at 17 Red Oaks Drive during opening hours.
If you can’t drop it to us, or you have multiple bikes to donate, contact us to arrange a pick-up.
New wheels can mean newfound freedom and independence. Bikes offer a reliable and inexpensive means of transportation that can open up access to education, job opportunities or recreation.
Beyond the practical benefits, a bike sparks joy, and cycling can promote a healthier lifestyle, which is a win for everyone.
By giving the gift of a bike, you’re not just providing a means to get from one place to another—you’re empowering someone with the tools they need to improve their life and embrace new possibilities. So go on, share the bike love.
Help Keep OneBike Rolling
OneBike exists because our community believes that everyone deserves access to a safe, reliable bike.
Every donated bike we rescue, repair and rehome takes time and skill (and parts of course). While many bikes are gifted to us, the components that make them safe and roadworthy such as chains, brake cables, tyres, cogs, need to be replaced regularly. That’s where your koha makes the difference.
OneBike relies on donations to keep the workshop running. Our goal is to get quality bikes to the people who need them most.
Your contribution is about providing a dependable way to get to school, work, sport or just enables a fun Sunday jaunt on the trails..
What your donation can do:
- $25 helps us replace a worn chain
- $50 helps replace brake pads and cables so a bike can stop safely
- $100 can cover major drivetrain parts like a cogset, derailleur and crank
- $250 helps fully refurbish a bike ready for rehoming
We are grateful for your support.

“Thank you for checking in! I’m happy to report that everything went exceptionally well with the bikes during our journey across the South Island. We started from Bluff, then pedaled north to Queenstown, followed the coast through Haast Pass, past the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers, enjoyed the Pancake Rocks in Punakaiki, and finally wrapped up in Westport—covering hundreds of kilometres without a single mechanical problem. The bikes were super reliable and comfortable throughout"

“Thank you so much for the bike, it worked perfectly. However, a few weeks ago, I left it in a park in front the house I was living in, but it disappeared. It was my fault because I didn't put any lock to it. Before that, I used it a lot to go to work, it was really helpful because it saved me a lot of time; and it was a really good exercise. ...having a bike was so useful for people like me who don't have cars and rely on public transportation. That's why, I really appreciate the help"

“Thank you so much for reaching out. I’ve been enjoying my OneBike a lot! I mostly use it to commute to work and to explore the beautiful outdoors around Queenstown. It’s been working perfectly without any issues. I’ve been using it quite often since I got it, though I could always use it a bit more. Having the bike definitely gives me more freedom and makes my life more active, which I love.”

“I was so stoked to receive a bike from Onebike. My Dad also got one! I ride mine to school everyday and we like to ride around the Arrowtown river track together.”
Amanda
"The two girls are loving their bikes. They both work fantastically well with no issues at all. We had such a great experience with One Bike I told everyone I could about you guys! The girls ride to school nearly everyday and as Olivia says “it’s so great to have gears!”
Jett
"Thanks to OneBike I now have a bike that I use everyday. I ride it to school and back and also ride it afterschool and on the weekends. I am so grateful to Onebike for their generosity."
Katie
“Everything has been going really well so far. The bike is working great—no major issues at all. It’s been reliable and smooth to ride. Yes, I still have the bike and use it regularly. I’ve been using it about 3–4 times a week. Mostly, I use it for commuting around town, quick errands, and sometimes just for leisure rides when the weather’s nice. Having the bike has definitely made a positive impact on my daily life. It’s convenient, eco-friendly, and has helped me stay active without even trying too hard.”
