I’ve had my MeloYelo Town’n Trail now for couple years, and absolutely love it! Mostly easy/ intermediate trails for me but my daughter has used it on advanced grades as well, and It’s never given me any issues at all. Good battery power. Would highly recommend.
Sharon Creamer –
Love my MeloYelo bike. It lets me ride further (and faster) than I could on my old bike. Nothing like a ride down to the beach on the weekend to get a coffee and watch the waves, it is food for the soul.
Margaret Chaproniere –
Best bike ever. I sold my old bike as i needed one with a throttle because of my knee replacement. My town and trail has been perfect for rehab, now a year on, we take it to lots of places. Rotorua, Cambridge, Kiawa lakes etc. Everyone loves the smart blue colour. If anything happened to it i would not hesitate to get another.
Rob Darragh –
Can’t speak highly enough of the Melo Yelo town n trail. The bike handles extremely well and has met all my expectations. The bike is comfortable to ride and is a big improvement on my previous ebike from a different manufacturer. I have recommended Melo Yelo to a number of people who have gone on to purchase one in the Kapiti area
Scott Carpenter –
This bike is a perfect commuter bike with the ability to transform into a great bike for the many off road bike trails we have in our Nelson region. It has great range with battery to really get out and explore or ride with a group to your favourite cafe whether near or far. I have had a town and trail 27.5 inch since the beginning of March and it is the perfect fit for me, With 3 frame sizes available, you can find your perfect fit as well. You really will be looking for a reason to take your bike to do your errands instead of taking the car.

I sold my old bike because i wanted one with a throttle after my knee replacement. My town and trail has been perfect for rehab. Now a year later we have had great adventures, taking it to Redwoods Rotorua, Cambridge river trail Kai Iwi lakes etc. If anything happened to it, i wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one. Best bike ever.
Simone Brooker –
Loving my new bike, so comfortable and easy to use.
Warren McKenzie –
We love our Town n Trail E-bikes. It was very confusing trying to select our bikes initially as everyone was telling us to go with mid drive bikes. But once we trialled the hub drives, we were convinced they were a better option. There was no pressure from the Melo Yelo agent. He let us trial all the bikes and as he explained it us really down to how we feel on the bikes and especially how we feel going up a long steep hill. Got to say the thumb throttle really makes a difference when starting off on a hill. The quality of the bikes are outstanding and comes with all the required extras as standard whereas other brands cost extra for lights, stand and carrier etc. We are extremely happy and glad we selected Melo Yelo.
Robyn Smith –
Absolutly LOVE my Town’N Trail MeloYelo. Have had for a couple of years now, mostly easy & intermediate trails but my daughter has riden on advanced trails without any problem. (Queen Charlotte Track)
Good battery power & distance.
Kaye Wishart –
I love my Meloyelo bike. I am now in a biking group with friends in my retirement village. We go for over 50k rides fortnightly and shorter rides in between. 3 of us have Meloyelo. One has upgraded to Meloyelo and she lives it. I attended Sport HB training which covered maintenance, riding safely etc. Very informative and worthwhile. I am now using gears more and changing with confidence without looking. I have yet to put bike to test to see how many KS it will do, but am doing a few shorter rides following 50k rides to check. HB cycle ways are great and banks damaged in cyclone have now mostly been repaired.
Bill Joyce –
Have had my Town’n Trail for three years. It has proved very reliable and well suited to the easy trail rides around the Kapiti Coast. The range is perfectly adequate and the step-through frame is s good feature. The bike came well equipped with disc brakes, lights, bell and a rear carrier and was good value compared with similar e-bikes.
Melanie Coker –
I love this bike!
I used to commute by bike, all the way into my early 30s (including when we lived on the hills in Cashmere). But then I stopped biking as I had to travel for work.
With all the new cycleways, I wanted to get back into biking, but was hesitant.
Now I’ve had my MeloYelo more than 6 months and travelled about 1300kms. It is so fun, and it’s the best bike I’ve ever had. The size is perfect, the seat is comfy, and the extra help from the motor makes travelling long distances a breeze. It’s just so fun!
This is the best investment I’ve made in travel since buying an electric car 7 years ago. Now with RUCs coming I will be even more motivated to keep biking over winter!
I would recommend to anyone thinking about getting back into biking to invest in a MeloYelo bike. It will change your life!
Nick Dymock –
A good bike but the warning bell is too smalll and too quiet. The seat is to square and uncomfortable especially after 10 kilometers. Don’t the designers know the anatomy of the human backside. You need a rounded seat not a square seat. It would be also be good to have hydraulic brakes instead of cable brakes.
Paul & Paula Langrope –
Though since having our bikes, we have not used them a great deal for various reasons, but to date we have found them very comfortable and enjoying to use. We bought them as part of our retirement plan.
When my wife was demoing one, she didn’t realise that she was starting and finishing from the raised step outside the store, but when she used it for the first time proper, she had difficulty in putting her foot down on stopping as the lowest seat position was too high. I cut off part of the seat shaft to get the seat down to the right level.
Otherwise, they are brilliant
Debbie Lattey –
My husband and I love our Town ‘n Trail bikes, they are so easy to ride and we haven’t had any problems at them at all. My husband is 87 and still riding several times a week up to 40km at a time, which he couldn’t do without his ebike! Best thing we ever bought. 🙂
Tony Carter –
Can’t fault it..great comfy ride.perffect for commuting and lots of fun.
Elliot Pollard –
I have used my town and trail bike mainly on the road, will certainly be doing some tracks I’m confident the bike will perform, it’s strong performs well has good off-road tires as well. I have been informed it’s due for its first service which I’m yet to have. Overall a good solid bike that performs well and as great value for its price.
Martin Rushton –
By way of background I have the hub drive version and I’ve had it for around 18 months. It’s my second ebike and I’ve been using ebikes for over seven years. I cycle around once a truce a week in a group of mainly retirees and we usually do around 25 kms on each ride.
So how has the Town n Trail been? Well for me it’s pretty much spot on. I’m not the smallest person in the World (I played prop way back in my Rugby playing days in Scotland!)
I find the bike is very comfortable and has a more than adequate range and power to deal with the routes we ride. It’s been very reliable and easy to operate and I reckon it looks pretty good too.
I’d recommend the bike for anyone who like me wants to use cycle trails and do a little bit of modest off road riding. It didn’t cost the earth either.
I’d give this bike a big thumbs up
Colin –
I love my Town n trail and use it every day weather permitting. As I am older, in my late seventies I ride short 10 to 20kms trips to keep fit and enjoy the outdoors. This is my second ebike and a vast improvement on the first one which I covered 4500 kms. I tried a mid-drive bike and settled on the rear drive as I like the assist lever for hills. It gives me the option of a hard or easy ride depending on how I feel.
Stuart Barwood –
I’ve had the bike three years done 1700km and in that time no problems (1 puncture).
The bike is very easy to ride and makes it fun. The battery has a great range have had 120km out of it with one bar still showing.
Robert Deighton –
I use my town/n trail for farm work. I sometimes go to town on it. The usage is not high but very effective for what I do. A crank sensor failed but was fixed under warranty. A great bike for my requirements.
Andrew Campbell –
Have had my bike for about 4 months now. Haven’t used it as much as I should’ve had. But it is a very good bike and make cycling very easy.
As I had a stroke 10 years ago the bike makes it easier for me to go cycling and not get exhausted and feel like I am about ti fall off. As before I got the bike my old bike I wasn’t able to go to far as my body wouldn’t let me. So in that case a great bike and very affordable.
Tracey –
Love my bike, great lasting battery, easy to ride on and off road. Great friendly service from reg in Clyde and great to be able to get a service from place of purchase.
John von Hartitzsch –
Had my town and trail 3yrs in june.Travelled 15500ks ,has never let me down.It is a superb bike.I just hop on and ride daily.I have knee troubles when walking but not riding.Hills and wind are no problem with the instant power from the throttle.I would and have recommended meloyelo to many…im a good ambassador. Thanks meloyelo.
Helene Judge –
Loving my Town ‘n Trail bike, easy comfortable riding & long lasting battery – highly recommended, thanks MeloYelo.
Teri Pikia –
Love my MeloYelo Town ‘n’Trail have had it since November last year use it pretty much daily to travel to and from work, even when i have hui at schools they are quite used to Nanny Teri rocking in on her paihikara. Have used on trails and have plans for the future doing various trails. Can’t wait and I recommend to everyone.
Ann Weir –
My Town and Trail is a little beauty! Solid yet nimble, this bike has allowed me to do far more than ever before. The throttle control gets me going without using my gammy leg. The power assist gets me home when I have over extended my fitness level. The back carrier has my raincoat, lunch and snacks. The front bag on the handle bars has the van keys and my phone. And the bell, tells everyone ahead of me to be afraid, very afraid! We are coming through! This bike has given me back lots of confidence. It is solid and reliable. Tracks well. Rides well. Goes through mud and water like they are not there. Copes well with most tree roots and those tyres have plenty of grip. You need to go and buy a new Town and Trail for yourself, because my one is not for sale.
Karen –
Love my Town’n Trail! Have it for 8mths and ride it almost every weekend when I am able to. I was a non rider prior to getting my bike, and I am now a converted rider and loving the exercise I am getting and the sights I am seeing!
Don MACIVER –
Hi guys..I have had my Town n trail Melo Yello for a number of years and have really enjoyed it..way back to covid lockdown the grandkids and I would ride all over the place as they were in our bubble
I am now 75 and without my sturdy Melo Yellow would not have had a show of keeping up with them.
The bike has great holding power on grass ,dirt and sealed road..such a good combo..
My knees aren’t the best but when the grands visit we all go off on bikes ..it’s great fun and they love visiting as we do activities..
Every thing on the bike still works well so it must be well built..cheers to Melo Yellow. Thanks for giving me the pleasure and freedom..Don Maciver

Owning a Melo Yelo Town n Trail has been a life changer for me. I was quite sediment until I got my e-bike. Now I bike 22km everyday. I have lost weight, toned up, and it has helped lower my blood sugar levels (I am type 2 DB). Overall I feel great and it’s all because of my Melo Yelo bike. It’s easy to ride. Very comfortable (I purchased a wide seat). It goes like the clappers. I just love it ❤️
Evan Baxter –
My wife and myself both brought Meloyelo town and trail bikes and are very pleased. Excellent service provided by Emma in the Hutt Valley. Currently we are in the Hawke’s Bay with our bikes enjoying their many wine trails. We get out much more with our new bikes and can go a lot further
Dwayne Richardson –
Great bike! I’m not sure why, but I seem to use my new electrically powered ride more often and save $$ over driving my carbon-emitting one. Must be something to do with my aging, arthritic frame. (Glad to have the bonus thumb-drive on this model!)
Lynne Blair –
Taken this bike on “The old coach trail” rough as and the bike went wonderfully, also a few other rough trails, no problem at all. Of course its brilliant in town too, cant speak highly enough about it, I love it!
Bobbie Taylor –
My Meloyelo bike has changed my life for the better. In fact I even told my Husband I just love my bike and that he is now my second love my bike comes first, luckily he just laughed at me. When I am out riding my bike I feel free as a bird and at peace with the world. Recently at the age of 71 I had surgery on my knee and thought that was the end of my cycling days but with a bit of determination I gradually got back into it and the last couple of months I have cycled the Otago Rail Trail and part of the West Coast Wilderness Trail plus numerous other tracks and it just goes like a rocket. I’m always telling anyone looking at buying a bike Meloyelo is the way to go. When I was looking at buying a bike after not riding for many years I tried numerous other brands but they just didn’t feel right and I can honestly say when I tried a Meloyelo I Felt safe on it and it just felt like my bike.

Before having this bike I struggled to ride 7kms and now can go around 25kms and still get the exercise I require.
Had it 2 years now with just a few minor problems which were an easy fix. Wouldn’t do without it.
Bryan Smith –
My wife and I both bought MY Town N’ Trail machines about 9 months ago. Have thoroughly enjoyed the rides; feel we haven’t had the opportunity to really use them yet but find we have done over 1,000 km each in the time we have had them. Handled the Dunstan Trail with ease in March.
More comfortable and easier to use than ther e-bikes we have tried.

I have had my Meloyelo bike for about 7 months now and I absolutely love it. I got it for commuting to/from work but I live it so much that I’ll go biking other times as well. New Plymouth is a rather hilly city and so its great to be able to negotiate the hills with ease as well as take it off road when I want to. Its great to be able to jump on the bike to run errands in town – the trip takes me almost the same amount of time as if I’d driven. No stress finding a carpark and I’m improving my health at the same time.
I find this bike so comfortable to ride, can’t fault it. Would recommend this bike to everyone.

Great bike had it for about 2 years ride Rail trails and mountain trails , the only gripe is hub drive wished I had purchased crank drive.Much easier
Nye Thomas –
Oops a bit late with this review (didn’t see the email till last evening) I really enjoy riding my Town and trail (purchased from Neil two months ago 500 km ridden) The ease of pedalling and the response of the motor has to be ridden to be appreciated. I call it a get up and go motor. I know my Superlite is good but my T&T takes first place. On a 25 km ride the other day on Te Awamutu country roads I only used assist level one. For me the T&T is tops.

I am so happy with my Town and trail bike and the service I received from David. I ride my bike to work about 12ks each day. Now that daylight saving is well over, I am riding in the dark, but with the high-quality lights I find it great and fell quite safe, also love the Tyres it has. I think the overall performance of the bike is great. I wanted to strengthen my legs which is definitely happening. I would not hesitate to recommend the bike to anyone and also the quality of service.
Thank you Mellow Yellow and of course David.
