Product Description

The Ascent MD (mid-drive) is an affordable electric mountain bike with a step-through frame proven in challenging off-road environments on trails throughout NZ. Consumer NZ praised the Bafang M400 motor on the Ascent mountain bike, saying:

Excellent hill-climbing torque and power (80nm of torque).
Smooth gear changes.
Very responsive when you start or stop pedaling.
Pedaling is very easy when the motor is off or when the maximum assistance speed has been exceeded.

Check out these awesome features:

Step-through frame for easy on and off
A large, 630 watt-hour battery with Samsung or LG cells, meaning you won’t be suffering from range anxiety
Tektro hydraulic brakes with 180mm rotors for great stopping power
Oodles of peak power with its large, 22-amp motor controller
Maxxis Ikon, puncture-resistant tyres
Trail-style mudguards, plus carrier and lights, meaning you’re ready to tackle the great trails of NZ at no extra charge for these extras
Industry-leading 3-year warranty

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.

OUR AMAZING WARRANTIES

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. Click here to read through our terms and conditions.

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.
