Thanks for your interest in volunteering at Mechanical Tempest! Our new workshop will be opening in 2024 at 21 Brooklyn Street (Central Park Apartments) with support from Te Toi Mahana.
Mechanical Tempest is a non-profit, registered charity and incorporated society based in Pōneke, Aotearoa.
We are a self-organised community bike workshop made of volunteers who value:
- Education
- Empowerment

- Equity
- Inclusion, diversity & non-discriminatory practices
- Accessibility
- Collaboration
- Non-commercial, non-profit generating activities
- Community
- Cooperation
- Enabling actions
The purposes of the Society are to:
- To teach any member of society how to repair their bicycle and to assist those who do not have a bicycle to select one from a store of donated bicycles and to repair that bicycle.
- To reuse and recycle bicycles and their components where practical in order to minimise waste and enable the above purpose.
- Do anything necessary or helpful to the above purposes.
By submitting an enquiry to volunteer to confirm that you support all of the above values and would like to join our community to support our purposes.
Volunteers are expected to undertake a workshop orientation and commit to volunteering at least 2 hours per month during our normal opening hours, Monday - Thursday 6pm to 8pm.
