What’s new and different about the Ascent 3

Haven’t ridden the bike as much as hoped in the first 6months due to personal circumstance,but not because I don’t like it.Happy with the way it performs and hope to get more riding in from now on

Have bought an Accent 2 bike and love it !!
To make the purchase even better the service from Jeff and Gillian Cook was outstanding.
They were great at communicating with me every step of the way and loved that they came to us for a demonstration and had good knowledge so could answer our questions. We also wanted a bike rack and Jeff sorted that for us too.
This is a great company and they have a really good range of bikes. I have no problems recommending them to anyone.

I have had my Ascent for only six months and have only good comments to make. The step through frame makes mounting and dismounting so much easier as my age wants to limit the full use of my legs. I have a couple of very challenging hills in my area and I am blown away at just how easy it is to ride up these. (could never do it with my conventional bike 🙂 And I’m pleased with the battery life, It allows me to be a bit adventurous if I feel like extending a ride.
I finally have a great bike rack fitted to my camper van so I can now venture onto trails and tracks in other places apart from home. Bring it on.

Purchase my Ascent bike two weeks ago and have bike to work everyday since , its such an easy bike to ride and on the straight roads don’t use any power. Looking forward to trying it out on some of the local trail rides soon. Our agent Neil Parkinson in Waikato was fantastic to deal with and would recommend if you are thinking about investing in an ebike give a MeloYelo agent a ring now before you buy else well you may be pleasantly surprise with these bikes.

Our Ascent is around 3 years old. Excellent build and component quality. As its a multi terrain capable bike although not a full MTB it does warrant a 10 speed cassette with greater (taller) ratios for the steep stuff. This would mske it a better bike. Also noted that the rear hub was standard but the frame was the new standard wider “boost” width with the insufficient width packed out with washers. The front forks are boost width. That’s why there was no quick release fitted to the rear (there is a quick release on the front). Maybe that’s changed since. The bike is otherwise proved reliable, capable and comfortable. No issues.

We both got Ascent bikes on the recommendation of a friend who had one, after initially hiring e bikes on a couple of occasions. The MeloYelo agent was really friendly and helpful and after a test ride we decided to purchase. We live in a hilly area so the Ascent 80nm assist power is appreciated when riding up the steeper streets, we’ve already ridden quite a lot of the Hauraki Rail trail and the battery capacity is really useful. The Ascent came complete with front and rear lights including stop, mudguards, stand, carrier, and comfortable seat, we’ve added the Suntour Suspension Seatpost for the extra smooth ride and handle bar mounted mirror for convenience & safety. We are enjoying exploring more trails and places on our Ascent Bikes – they were a great choice for us.

I have had my Ascent bike for nearly 18 months, and find I am more inclined to get out and ride more regularly than with the “muscle ” bike I rode previously. Initially I was curious in how far I could ride on one battery charge. I managed 200kms with about 50kms on level 0 over flat and downhill distances. (I like to maintain some of the old fitness)! I have also run the battery down to the low blinking level, and having turned off, found there was enough power left to assist with on last hill before cruising into home base. It’s nice to know there is a good reserve for longer rides. Most of my riding has been on paved or light gravel trails.

I am very pleased with my ascent. I purchased the bike nine months ago and it has not disappointed. It is reliable, has great battery life, the power is excellent for all terrains and is a comfortable ride. I was so pleased, my husband decided to purchase one too!

I Love my Melo Yello Ascent – everything I wanted in an E-bike!
I also love the kiwi values the company has and it was a clincher knowing they support E-education in schools.
We bike regularly and have also completed some longer trails in Central Otago and are planning the Great Taste Trail later in the year.
My bike regularly attracts comment re how sturdy it looks too & I have recommended both bike and local agent to others.
What more can I say?

I love my bike!….it’s a beautiful green Ascent, and I wear a matching helmet. Everyone who sees it comments on how good it looks and wants to know where it came from. Both my husband and I bought one, and have encouraged quite a few people to get one also.
The bike has been everywhere….from easy to difficult riding.
I had an extension added to the front post to allow me to sit more upright whilst riding when I first bought it. Then, other than adding extras like lights, bell, rear basket and a mirror, plus regular services, the bike has required no extra work.
I ride it daily and would be lost without it. Thank you Meloyelo.

I’m thinking of purchasing another one for family to ride when they come and visit.Need I say more.👍

I love my Ascent which I have had for two years.
Have done+lots of riding between Queenstown and Rotorua.
When I bought it I also got the suspension post and comfy seat. Well worth it.
Bike has heaps of grunt. I usually sit on 2, occasionally 3, but only go to 4/5 to give the gears a work out every so often.
Regular servicing with a Melo Yelo dealer, is paramount. They sure know the bikes well!
I would definitely make the same choice if buying again.

Love the bike.
Great exercise, particularly if you have a sit-down job.
Easy to use and fun to ride.
I’d recommend this bike if you want to keep fit and have fun without borders.
I am recovering from painful sciatica and the Osteopath told me “Yes! Cycling was something I could still do and it’s great exercise”.
I am happy with my decision to buy one.
I’ll see if I can convince the Boss if she wants one too … 🙂

I love my ascent. I have had it for two years.
I purchased extras in the beginning just to ensure comfort- suspension seat, and post, but apart from servicing it has not needed anything else done.
Have ridden trails from Queenstown to Rotorua.
Regular servicing with the Melo Yelo dealer is a must.
The bike has heaps of grunt for me, have never used 4 or 5, but do flick thru all gears from time to time just to keep the gears in action.
Would buy the the same again!

What a game-changer this terrific bike has been for me! Previously I’ve struggled up hills but with my new Ascent I’ve been able to explore amazing places I’d never have been able to ride otherwise. We go out now for hours at a time. Don’t believe e-bikes won’t get you fit – you can make it as easy or hard as you like. Love my bike and looking forward to many more wonderful journeys with my Ascent.
