Seals to Eels on Scooter Wheels

Do you have what it takes? Seals to Eels on Scooter Wheels isn’t a trail ride for the faint hearted; this ride will take endurance, stamina, and a nifty wee 50.

After four successful events starting in 2021, we’re excited to announce Seals to Eels is back for March 2025! You can ride as a team of up to five persons or if you don't want to ride the complete course, you can share the scooter with a friend or friends.

Starting at the Tāhunanui Playground Carpark, we will be riding our 50cc Motor Scooters an estimated distance of 245 kilometres all the way over to Lake Rotoiti and back as a fundraiser for the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter.

We will begin the ride to Saint Arnaud via Moutere Highway, Motueka, Ngātīmoti, Motueka Valley and Kōrere-Tophouse Road for roughly 140km returning via Kerr’s hill, 88 Valley, Waimea West to Tāhunanui.

Ending in Stoke, entrants are strongly encouraged to bring their families along and meet at the Speights Alehouse for the 'aftermath'. It is assumed you will be sick of riding the scooter by then and will need a trailer home anyway!!
