Have you considered an ebike, but ruled them out because they’re too heavy to manage?
You’re not alone. Consider Linda Fowler’s story.
“I have had a lot of experience with different e-bikes that I’ve hired to ride various trails around the country, such as Giant and Avanti. These bikes were good but I am only a light frame female and the hire bikes were heavy and awkward for me to handle. The handlebar placement was also uncomfortable for my type of build. The MeloYelo SuperLite is better designed for comfort and power. It is well built and even the suspension is impressive.”
Another SuperLite owner, Lesley Hamer, says:
“I love the fact that it is, as the name suggests, super-light. I am quite short, and I find lifting this bike so much easier compared to other e bikes.”
Yet another owner, Sue Hawken said that with her arthritis getting worse, she decided to buy a SuperLite in the hopes that it would make traversing through the gates around the tracks in Hawke’s Bay easier.
“It certainly has made manoeuvering the bike heaps easier than the first bike I had,” says Sue.
And then there’s Annie McMullin. Annie says:
“I didn’t want a heavy bike like other electric bikes, as I was worried about it pulling me over. My friends ask me if I like my SuperLite and I answer: I don’t like it, I absolutely love it.”
You might also be able to relate to Paula’s story.
Paula took some time to research and test ride ebikes, only to come to the conclusion that ebikes were not for her.
“I had been overcome with fear and anxiety relating to a serious bicycle accident I’d had. I was determined to tackle my fears, but the weight of the ebikes I tried was scary.
As luck would have it, I won a SuperLite in a MeloYelo promotion, and I thought wow, the cosmos has spoken. I have been given the gift of the top-of-the-range, lightweight MeloYelo and the opportunity to feel the fear and do it anyway.
As I told Ken, the MeloYelo agent: if I can get over my fear, MeloYelo is my e-bike of choice. I will highly recommend them to anyone I meet who is interested in an e-bike. MeloYelo’s reliability, reputation, available local mechanic, on-hand spare parts and 3 year warranty is unmatched. I also appreciate that they are a NZ innovation and MeloYelo’s beginnings reflect the value of community.”
MeloYelo Hutt Valley agent Emma has noticed the difference a SuperLite has made for customers, commenting:
“Many of my customers are senior ladies who like the idea of riding a bike again but being of smaller stature they were put off by the weight and size of e-bikes. After a test ride on a size small Superlite they’re feeling confident and love that they can easily step on and off.”
As light as carbon fibre, as strong as aircraft-grade aluminium
The SuperLite electric bike has been designed and engineered right here in NZ, to produce the lightest possible e-bike which remains robust enough for riding rail trails, timber trails, wilderness trails, and any of the great NZ trails.
The small, step-through frame on the SuperLite, combined with its low weight of 22kg, makes the SuperLite suitable for:
- Shorter riders
- People who lack the strength to lift heavy ebikes – for example onto the rack on the back of their caravan, motorhome or car;
- People with hip or knee issues that prevent them from swinging their leg over a cross bar;
- People who sometimes need some extra assistance from the motor. The SuperLite has a thumb throttle that can be used to deliver extra motor assistance, for example during steep climbs.
The SuperLite was $5695, but is now available at a new, everyday low price of $4995.
