Product Description
The Ascent MD electric mountain bike is an affordable e-bike with a step-through frame proven in challenging off-road environments on trails throughout NZ.

- Excellent hill-climbing torque and power (peaks at 114nM)
- A large, 720 watt-hour battery with Samsung or LG cells, meaning you won’t be suffering from range anxiety
- Thumb throttle from 0km/hr, to help you get moving from a standstill
- Tektro hydraulic brakes with 180mm rotors for great stopping power
- Oodles of peak power with its large, 18-amp motor controller
- Smooth gear changes

Most Ascent MD customers ride some if not all, off-road. If that’s your plan, consider adding a Suntour NCX suspension seat post. This will give you the comfort of full suspension without the cost of a full-suspension electric bike.

The bottom line with MeloYelo is this: We want the happiest, most satisfied customers in the business.
With this in mind, our warranty covers your frame for 6 years, and everything else for 3 years. That’s up to 2 years longer than any of our competitors.
Of course, with such an industry-leading warranty, you would expect there to be some terms and conditions. And, you’d be right.
It’s all well and good having an industry-leading warranty, but what about honouring that warranty if things go wrong? Again, MeloYelo takes an industry-leading approach:
- We maintain a good supply of spare parts here in New Zealand;
- We train our stockists throughout NZ on how to troubleshoot, diagnose and fix most faults;
- Our stockists have easy access to our National Service Manager so that if they run into complex issues, those issues can be resolved without your bike having to be sent elsewhere for repairs.
