Lynda Sampson

I have just purchased a Meloyelo, superlite e bike with Kai Nielues from Taupo. I couldn't have asked for a better tutor. I trialed 3 bikes before I made my decision. He made me feel more confident each time we went out. Explaining when and how to use the assist mode and when to use gears. He set the bike up to fit me. I went with the dropper seat as I felt more confident having my feet on the ground when I stopped with just the push of a button. Highly recommend Kai for anyone who is unsure of purchasing an e bike and he will answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Response from the owner:Thank you very much for your feedback Lynda!

Sue Martin

Had 2 wonderful test rides from Kai, and have purchased my Meloyelo and rides home with ease ☺️

Response from the owner:Thanks so much for your feedback! All the very best for your riding adventures ahead, and happy new year.

Sandi Howlett

I just bought a Melo Yelo Ascent from Kai in Taupo. I had been looking for a step through style ebike for a while and ended up just getting confused by the local dealers but the moment I met Kai and was able to try out the different Melo Yelo bikes I was no longer confused. He was wonderfully patient and explained everything I needed to know. I enjoyed test riding a few of the step through bikes and even changed my handlebar style. I would recommend Melo Yelo to anyone looking for an ebike because of the wonderful service you get to find the right bike for your needs.

Response from the owner:Sandi, on behalf of Kai and team MeloYelo, thanks so much for your feedback, it means a lot to us. We wish you many happy years of ebiking 🙂

Colin Forsyth

Kai Niehues (Taupo) was very helpful from the first time we met him. He is very knowledgeable, helped us understand our new e-bikes. We are very happy with our Ascent Teal 27.5" and Tranzit Ruby Red 26"

Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback Colin! Welcome to the MeloYelo family and enjoy your rides!

Joshua Roach

Kai is a Great guy helpful and easy to work with loveing my meloyelo e bike

Response from the owner:Thanks Joshua!

Vibeke

What a fantastic experience buying my first e-bike from Kai.
I was nervous starting out on the test ride but Kai was very relaxed and patient explaining everything so clearly that I actually enjoyed the ride, especially testing two bikes on a hill.
I can totally recommend Kai at Melo Yello in Taupo for his knowledge and customer service with a smile.😊

Response from the owner:Thank you Vibeke!

carol buckland

Kai is a very accommodating person, very knowledgeable and helpful, very good at explaining issues, would definitely recommend 👌

Response from the owner:Thank you Carol! Happy to help any time :o)

Fred Seidel

Kai has been great to deal with throughout the whole process. We tried a couple of different bikes for our test ride and decided that these were the bikes for us. We bought two Ascent bikes with some accessories. Kai set both bikes up and made a few alterations to the height of seats and handlebars.
We are now enjoying the many biking options around Taupo.

Response from the owner:Fred, on behalf of Kai and team Meloyelo, thanks for your review and we trust you will enjoy discovering the trails of Taupo and beyond.

Noel Treasure

Kai was brilliant to deal with nothing was to much trouble. He did an excellent service and a minor repair and the benefits of all his knowledge, nothing was to much trouble. Thanks Kai

Response from the owner:Thank you for your amazing review Noel. It was a pleasure to help you and I look forward to seeing you again next time you need a service.

Tim and Lesley H

Kai was so helpful when I started the process of deciding on an E bike. He spent a lot of time answering many questions, and gave me a lot of helpful information, and took me out on a demo ride. I had lost my confidence in negotiating hills, even small ones, and he restored my confidence in my own abilities and in the bikes abilities - I felt like a kid just having fun again! I bought the Superlite small, and it's perfect size and weight for my size. Kai made sure to adjust the setup so it fitted me properly. Such a good quality bike. I'm going to have lots of fun on the trails and roads around Kinloch where I live and will be taking it with us on holidays too! One very happy customer!

Response from the owner:Hello Lesley, thank you so much for your kind review. We are thrilled you had a wonderful experience with Kai and you are happy with the Superlite. it's a great bike! Don't forget to reach out to Kai if you have any questions along the way and we look forward to servicing your new eBike soon.

Benedict Ryan

Excellent advice and helpful assistance from Kai. Great test ride and am now looking forward to getting my new Ascent Melo Yelo bike.

Marina Whalen

kai took me for a test ride, rode both the tranzit MD and the town & trail. kai was fabulous, really knows what he is doing, and answered all my questions, and was so patient, i hadnt ridden for years. i purchased the town and trail, kai changed the handle bars for me, and was just so helpful. we are lucky he is the taupo agent.

Response from the owner:Marina, on behalf of Kai and team MeloYelo, thanks for taking the time to write this marvellous review, it is very much appreciated.

Isobel Hatrick

I am so happy with my Tranzit MD purchased four months ago. Kai did a fabulous job fitting it and swapping out the handlebars and seat post to my specifications. He made a minor tweak or two at the first service and gave it a thorough wash. Very nice! It's reassuring to know he is around for maintenance and repairs.

I had not originally planned to ride trails, but Taupo has so many that the Tranzit handles effortlessly that I have fallen in love with them. I had no trouble riding Grade 3 on this bike.

It's a brilliant shopping bike remaining stable with several kg in each pannier.

I love my Tranzit for town and trails and Kai is so nice to work with.

Response from the owner:Isobel, on behalf of Kai and team MeloYelo, we truly appreciate your lovely comments. We hope you enjoy many years of fun and adventure on your Tranzit MD.

Beverley Robert Entwistle

Kai,
Who is the agent was exsteamly helpful with talking me through the ins & outs of the wide range held by him. Also explained that he normally takes time to ride a different model & answers any questions while on the ride then changes cycles so you can compare the differences. Highly recommended. Thankyou Kai
Regards Bev

Response from the owner:Bev, on behalf of Kai and team MeloYelo, thanks so much for your feedback. It is great to hear that Kai looked after you well and gave you the opportunity to test ride several different bikes. We wish you many years of ebiking fun and adventure.

R and L Mountier

I purchased my Town and Trail bike off Brent Russell at Mt Albert He was very helpful and a nice person I have done 1147 k in about 6 weeks with no problems A lot of people say that is a nice looking bike The Town and Trail is more than I expected from a e-bike

Response from the owner:On behalf of Brent and team MeloYelo, thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback, and well done on making such great use of your Town'nTrail in such a short time. We wish you many years of ebiking fun and adventure.

Today I had my first ride on my new Town and Trail e bike. It is fantastic! Malcolm was incredibly helpful, talking me through all the information needed. He is extremely knowledgeable and I know that he will be totally reliable when the time comes for servicing the bike. MeloYelo Taupo comes very highly recommended.

Malcolm in Taupo is the best. He is very obliging, nothing is too much trouble and his service is excellent. My Town and Trail which he recommended has proved to be perfect for the trails I have been on.

Response from the owner:Adair, on behalf of Team MeloYelo, thanks so much for your feedback. We wish you oodles of fun on your new MeloYelo 🙂

My 'Bootee' electric bike was purchased from Malcolm so that it would fit easily in to the boot of the motorhome. As I am 84 years young it had to be lifted over a lip at chest height which I can do. I am enjoying the exercise and the exhilaration of wind whistling over my face and expect to continue to feel confident in the craftsmanship and technology of my bike. The friendly after sales service has been willingly given. Safe easy assisted pedalling everyone. Richard Fowler.

Robin Baker

Malcolm was great to deal with and I am loving my e-bike. Malcolm was very knowledgeable about all the models of Melo Yelo bikes and acceccories, but was not pushy. He had a great knowledge of biking in general and set my bike up prefectly for me. I have already recommended Malcolm to several of my friends. My Melo Yelo bike is the best thing I have purchased for a long time.

Having evaluated a lot of e-bikes, I finally chose a MeloYelo. Apart from the excellent sale service from Malcolm, my MeloYelo E Bike is exactly what I was after. I was really impressed to the thought that went into the design, and that it was purpose designed for my age group making it the best out there for us older riders. Plus it is great to ride.

Margaret z

Hi Malcolm was a FIND.
His knowledge of the bike i purchased was both technical and consumer focused. He held on to the bike for several months until i could pick it up and generally went over and above. I find buying products from this type of dealer is better than dealing with a chain of bike shops. Totally recommend !

Clive Brown

We purchased my wife's E/bike from Malcolm during lockdown in June2020. We found Malcolm to be very friendly ,helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Although my wife hasn't ridden it much since we purchased it the bike has very good components on it and looks nice. Bigger tyres make for a pleasurable ride. I certainly would recommend MeloYelo E-Bikes to anyone considering to purchase.

Alex Allen

Melo -Yelo bikes are the best. Incredible value for money. Half the price of the equivalent you would find in a store. The bikes are hardy, durable, quality products. The after purchase service is unbelievable - instant access to the local agent, who will give help over the phone, or offers immediate service should the bikes need a tweek. We have bought 3 of these bikes - you would have to ask the question - why would I pay twice the price for an inferior product, with hopeless after purchase service?. Melo-Yelo is a personally owned company that offers personal service.
