Kune Bikes is a bike hire and shuttle operator at 27 Goldfinch Street in Ohakune, at the foot of Mount Ruapehu. It runs shuttles, bike hire and trail briefings for the trails between Tongariro and Whanganui National Parks. Prices given on the website, as at 2026, start with Old Coach Road shuttles from $15, Ohakune trails from $20 a person, Mountain Road from $30 a person, and the full-day Bridge to Nowhere trip from $240 a person. E-bikes are $70 for a half day and $90 for a full day. The fleet has over 30 Norco mountain bikes with Shimano drivetrains, serviced in the shop's own workshop. Vans, a jet boat for the remote trails and luggage transfers can be arranged, and the operator handles the logistics. Remote groups carry a PLB and a GPS tracker. The shop is open seven days from 8am to 6pm, and it is closed on Christmas Day.
Customers say the briefing was thorough and the shuttle ran on time, and that the trail tips made the day. One rider who hired two e-bikes for the Old Coach Road called the bikes great and the price good. Another said the Bridge to Nowhere day was unforgettable, with the PLB, the jet boat and the whole trip sorted for them. The reviews praise the local knowledge. Ohakune's trails suit both day trips and longer rides, and the shop is built around both.
