Powerzone Motorcycles is a locally owned and operated business at 12A Elizabeth Street in Balclutha, South Otago, established in 2002. With more than 20 years of experience in sales and servicing, the team's main objective has stayed the same since day one: provide excellent customer service and quality products.
The showroom carries franchises renowned for quality and reliability — Suzuki Motorcycles & ATVs, Kawasaki Motorcycles & side-by-sides, and Husqvarna Motorcycles — covering farmbikes, motocross and trail machines, and road bikes. Alongside sales sits a fully equipped workshop that services and repairs all makes and models, not just the brands on the floor.
Powerzone is also home to South Otago's only bicycle shop, an addition from 2014. The cycle department offers top brands including Scott, Avanti, Merida, Sinch and Husqvarna e-bikes, plus a wide range of parts and accessories, with qualified Shimano/Bosch technicians for servicing and repairs. The team can supply and fit a cycle to your exact need, whether for performance or pleasure.
For outdoor gear, Powerzone stocks the full Husqvarna chainsaw and outdoor garden equipment range — products, parts and accessories in store — with Husqvarna-trained staff on hand. Chainsaws, ride-on mowers, lawn mowers, garden equipment, small engines, ATVs, UTVs and bicycles all feature on the workshop's service list, and a pick up & delivery service operates across the Clutha District. The friendly Powerzone team doesn't just sell and service — they ride and race — so advice comes from genuine experience.
On Elizabeth Street in Balclutha, Powerzone Motorcycles has spent more than two decades keeping South Otago moving — on two wheels, four wheels, and everything in between. Established in 2002 and still locally owned and operated, the business is led by managing directors Dean and Jo Bond, supported by service technicians, a parts manager, a service manager and a dedicated cycle technician. From day one, the goal has been simple: provide excellent customer service and quality products.
Powerzone's motorcycle franchises are brands the team stands behind for quality and reliability. The line-up covers Suzuki Motorcycles & ATVs, Kawasaki Motorcycles & side-by-sides, and Husqvarna Motorcycles — a range that reflects the region's mix of working farms, weekend trail rides and road journeys. Whether you're after a farmbike for the daily rounds, a motocross or trail machine, or a road bike, the staff have the knowledge to help with all your motorcycle requirements.
Buying is only half the story. Behind the showroom sits a fully equipped workshop where friendly service technicians handle servicing and repairs for all makes and models — not just the brands on the floor. That expert backup mechanical service is a big part of why local riders and farmers keep coming back.
In 2014, Powerzone added something a little different: a bicycle sales, accessories and service store — South Otago's only bicycle shop. The department carries easily recognised brands like Avanti and Scott, alongside Merida, Sinch and Husqvarna e-bikes, plus numerous quality accessory products. The team can supply and fit a cycle to your exact need, whether it's performance or pleasure.
The cycle department is no afterthought, either. With a Shimano-trained technician on staff and qualified Shimano/Bosch technicians for servicing and repairs, it's well equipped to deal with any service or repair job, from a family bike tune to e-bike systems work.
For life beyond the garage, Powerzone carries the Husqvarna chainsaw and outdoor products range. Products, parts and accessories are stocked in store, with Husqvarna-trained staff providing prompt and efficient service. The workshop's service list also takes in chainsaws, ride-on mowers, lawn mowers, garden equipment and small engines, making Powerzone a genuine one-stop shop for much of the gear a South Otago property depends on.
Getting equipment to town isn't always easy, so Powerzone offers a pick up and delivery service across the Clutha District. If you'd rather skip the phone call, the website's online service booking form lets you choose your service type — motorcycle, ATV, UTV or outdoor equipment — suggest a preferred date and time, and the team will be in touch with the details.
One thing that sets Powerzone apart is that its people don't just sell and service — they ride and race. That firsthand time in the saddle and on the tools means advice comes from real experience, whether you're choosing your first bike, upgrading a farmbike, or fine-tuning a race machine. The team includes service technicians Madison Latta and Cory May, parts manager Jared Brown, service manager Tim Hunt and cycle technician Nathan Peoples, working alongside Dean and Jo.
Finance is available through UDC Finance Limited, with approvals subject to responsible lending inquiries and UDC's loan eligibility criteria, fees, terms and conditions — useful to know when it's time to budget for a new bike or a big-ticket piece of equipment.
