Seals to Eels on Scooter Wheels is a hard-case event with all proceeds going to the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter service!

Seals to Eels on Scooter Wheels isn’t a ride for the faint hearted; this ride will take courage, stamina, and a nifty wee 50.

We have test driven the event as a group on scooters and thoroughly enjoyed it so we have decided to make it an annual event!

Starting at the Tahunanui 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 be beginning the ride to Saint Arnaud via Moutere Highway, Motueka, Ngatimoti, Motueka valley and Korere-Tophouse Road for roughly 140km returning via Kerr’s hill, 88 Valley, Waimea West to Tahunanui.

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