Home / About
Kiwibike is based in New Plymouth and it can be argued that some of the best riding roads are nearby.
Founded by Dave Hewer in 1999, Kiwibike Insurance Brokers is a leading supplier of insurance services for motorcyclists. We pride ourselves on being able to offer you an insurance policy that is fit for your needs – not a one-size-fits-all policy.
Dave is now mostly retired but lends a hand in office every once a while when the team are short staffed. If you happen to call the office one day when he is here, we are sure he will be happy to discuss motorcycling with you.
