Dear Oliver
Request made under the Official Information Act 1982
Thank you for your email to Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (Waka Kotahi)
dated 14 June 2021
requesting the following information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):
“Please provide an update for the year ending 2020 for this request about the number of
registered electric motorbikes and emopeds.”
In accordance with the Act, I am refusing your request under section 18(d) of the Act because the
information requested is or will soon be publicly available.
Information relating to the number of registered vehicles is available to be downloaded and
interrogated through the Open Data Portal on the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency website at:
https://nzta.govt.nz/resources/new-zealand-motor-vehicle-register-statistics/new-zealand-vehicle-fleet-
open-data-sets/.
Guides on how to use the open data portal can be found at:

v2.pdf.
Under section 28 of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision to refuse
this request. The contact details for the Ombudsman can be located at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
If you would like to discuss this reply with Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, please contact Mel
Smalley, Manager Data Services, by email to [email address].
