WELCOME TO TSS MOTORCYCLES

Stewart and all 18 staff at his lower hutt business are as passionate about motorcycles as their customers, and it pays off in the repeat business and masses of enthusiastic feedback online.

Welcome to TSS motorcycles where we are as passionate about motorcycles as you are. TSS Motorcycles is located in Lower Hutt, and is the largest dealership in the region.

TSS Motorcycles is the largest dealership and motorcycle accessories business south of Hamilton. The showroom of new and used motorcycles is huge, while above, on the second floor, helmets, apparel, parts and accessories offer aisle after aisle of browsing and buying.

Our ground floor showroom will blow your mind with our brands of new motorcycles and a variety of second hand motorcycles. We are the home of Indian Motorcycles and Triumph Wellington, KTM “ready to race” and Suzuki.

Our salespeople are always happy to help you out and chat, but please be mindful that there are only three salespeople, so if there is a wait have a coffee and a wander around our motorbikes and growing genuine parts and apparel displays.

The service centre has seven motorcycle technicians with differing specialties. They are in hot demand so ensure you book your maintenance and repairs with a two week lead time whenever possible to get the best technician  for your job. If it is urgent give us a call though and we will see what we can do.

Upstairs is the biggest and best parts and accessories department around. It’s not unusual for first time visitors to be overwhelmed by the range we hold. We are a bricks and mortar shop and keep our prices down by buying big.  Our salespeople are well trained and will help you make the best decision on gear for your riding. In return we   encourage you to support us by trying and buying in store.

BRIEF HISTORY

Stewart formed the company in late 2003 and brought in two container loads of used motorcycles from Japan. “I intended to be a wholesaler and sell them on to local bike shops but that just didn’t work. So, within two months I became a dealer and hired two mechanics.”

Stewart had worked in used car sales for a dozen or so years. In his past, he has also had in a general auto repair workshop and owned a car rental business.

But his lifelong passions have been motorbikes and martial arts. He bought his first motorbike at 15 and didn’t learn to drive until he was 22 when he needed a car for a job in insurance sales.

He and his family all practiced and competed in martial arts; at one point he had a martial arts supplies shop “But I got burgled out of existence.” Today the grandchildren are not as keen on combat sports and Stewart is keen to get family to the track. He is rekindling his motorcycle riding passion at superbike school. “It’s an amazing learning experience” and exciting to think that we can learn the skills of speed.

Over the last ten years Stewart has rated the KTM superduke as his number one ride and enjoyed the reliability and  dependability of Suzuki. The introduction of the exciting and iconic brands Triumph and more recently Indian have changed the motorcycling landscape for Stewart, TSS staff and customers.

With covid there have been massive delays in motorcycle deliveries and parts.  Stewart has had to hire an extra area to store motorcycles wating for parts and it has been frustrating for staff and customers. On the plus side a spike in sales has meant we now have better quality loan bikes for the workshop and

The focus of TSS motorcycles is motorcyclists providing for motorcyclists. In store we do our best to insure you have the best riding experience. We still support a lot of upcoming and current racing and track events and individuals. If you are part of our brand communities look forward to more updates and news.

Whether you are a new rider or a seasoned biker TSS motorcycles is here for your motorcycling needs. Come and join the community, join the fun.

The parts, apparel and accessories store is open on weekends and does a roaring trade, particularly on Saturdays.

DROPPING DOWN A GEAR

AT 52, AND AFTER GRADUALLY SHIFTING MORE RESPONSIBILITY ON TO STAFF, STEWART SAYS HE’S NOW ABLE TO LOOSEN THE REINS AND TAKE A MORE STRATEGIC APPROACH TO THE COMPANY.

“We’ve always sponsored some on and off-road racing and I’m doing more of that. We are a sponsor for three riders: Jake Whitaker in Enduro racing– he’s a six time Australasian champion in trials riding. Then there’s Sloan Frost, the current New Zealand superbike champion, and Jay Lawrence, who’s in to superbike and road racing. He’s going to be making his debut at the Isle of Man Classic TT this year.” Jay is a key member of the TSS Red Baron Motorcycles parts sales team and uses his specialist knowledge to help customers chose everything from boots to bolts.

Stewart says, “I want to put more time into sponsorship and promotion and get more involved with motorcycle clubs in the area.”

He sees real benefits, not just in promoting his company but also in the passion he and his staff have for motorbikes.

Stewart sees a strong future for the business – he has no plans to get into electric motorcycles at this point but believes there will come a time.
