About Thunder Trike Tours

Kiwi owner/operators Mark and Denise offer a unique tourist experience exploring the Bay of Islands on their V8 Chevrolet Trikes.

Originally from the deep South of NZ, we have always been motorbike and V8 enthusiasts, so now we get to combine the two with these awesome Trikes!

Built in Christchurch New Zealand by James D Trikes and powered by a 5.7L 350 Chevrolet Edelbrock motor, our trikes are the ultimate in power and excitement.

When you go for a ride with the Thunder Trikes you will want to ride for miles. They have been built for comfort and with a low centre of gravity, the bikes have less roll and amazing grip around corners.

NO HELMETS REQUIRED – due to the fact that our trikes are registered as convertible cars and comes complete with full seat belts. You can enjoy the wind in your face and experience the adrenaline!

Fun for all ages!
