The Department of Conservation is undertaking a partial review of the Tongariro National Park Management Plan. It's proposing the construction of three new shared-use walking and cycling tracks, and the use of electric bikes on some tracks within the park.
Peter Wilson is president of Federated Mountain Clubs of New Zealand, and is strongly against the idea of allowing e-bikes in Tongariro National Park.
