The incident happened on the corner of Dublin Bay Rd and State Highway 6 just after midday.
A policeman at the scene said the local man was trying to avoid riding through a pond of water at the time.
Two volunteer Wanaka Fire and Emergency NZ crews attended, as well as a St John's ambulance and police.
