Great weight distribution, easy on and off, easy-to-remove battery, fabulous... Read more The Townee e-bike has been designed for those who want a bike to ride primarily in cities, towns, and on urban cycleways. And, most importantly, for those on a budget. It is also one of the easiest bikes to ride and pedal. The step-through frame makes it easy to get on and off, even if you’ve got mobility problems such as bad knees or hips. The thumb throttle can deliver motor power without you needing to pedal – ideal for getting going quickly from a standstill, or for an extra burst of power up hills. (Note: The Townee is not a motorbike, and should not be treated as such). The Townee is easy to pedal because unlike motors that are controlled by torque sensors – which reward extra leg pressure on the pedals with extra motor assistance – the Townee motor is controlled by a cadence sensor which means once you’re moving, it’s easy to keep it moving without having to pedal hard. The battery is very easy to remove – great for when you need to lift the bike onto a vehicle carrying rack for example. We’ve included a chain guard so that your clothes won’t get caught in the chain. And, we’ve even included a derailleur protector, which means that if your bike tips over, you won’t suffer expensive damage to your gearing system. And, as with all MeloYelo e-bikes, The Townee comes with free lights, mudguards, and a carrier. The Townee is comfortable too. It comes with a comfortable, memory foam saddle, swept back handlebars that allow for a comfy upright riding position, and front suspension which smooths out the bumps.

The Superlite has been designed and engineered by MeloYelo, and is the culmination of a great deal of research into the needs of Kiwi e-bike riders. A segment of the market has told us that they’re happy to pay a bit more to get the lightest possible e-bike, but that it must be suitable for riding on NZ trails, up to grade 3. The Superlite ticks all the boxes. At 22kg it is no heavier than a carbon fibre ebike, yet 4kgs lighter than our other models. It has the high-power/high-torque Bafang M420 motor, a 10 speed Shimano Deore gear set, velvety smooth air suspension, hydraulic brakes, and a thumb throttle that gives you power boost when you need it, once you’re above 6km/hour. All of this in a step-through frame. Available in Sky Blue or Forest Green.
