Test ride the Town’n Trail

Love my MeloYelo bike. It lets me ride further (and faster) than I could on my old bike. Nothing like a ride down to the beach on the weekend to get a coffee and watch the waves, it is food for the soul.

Can’t speak highly enough of the Melo Yelo town n trail. The bike handles extremely well and has met all my expectations. The bike is comfortable to ride and is a big improvement on my previous ebike from a different manufacturer. I have recommended Melo Yelo to a number of people who have gone on to purchase one in the Kapiti area

I sold my old bike because i wanted one with a throttle after my knee replacement. My town and trail has been perfect for rehab. Now a year later we have had great adventures, taking it to Redwoods Rotorua, Cambridge river trail Kai Iwi lakes etc. If anything happened to it, i wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one. Best bike ever.

We love our Town n Trail E-bikes. It was very confusing trying to select our bikes initially as everyone was telling us to go with mid drive bikes. But once we trialled the hub drives, we were convinced they were a better option. There was no pressure from the Melo Yelo agent. He let us trial all the bikes and as he explained it us really down to how we feel on the bikes and especially how we feel going up a long steep hill. Got to say the thumb throttle really makes a difference when starting off on a hill. The quality of the bikes are outstanding and comes with all the required extras as standard whereas other brands cost extra for lights, stand and carrier etc. We are extremely happy and glad we selected Melo Yelo.

I love my Meloyelo bike. I am now in a biking group with friends in my retirement village. We go for over 50k rides fortnightly and shorter rides in between. 3 of us have Meloyelo. One has upgraded to Meloyelo and she lives it. I attended Sport HB training which covered maintenance, riding safely etc. Very informative and worthwhile. I am now using gears more and changing with confidence without looking. I have yet to put bike to test to see how many KS it will do, but am doing a few shorter rides following 50k rides to check. HB cycle ways are great and banks damaged in cyclone have now mostly been repaired.

I love this bike!
I used to commute by bike, all the way into my early 30s (including when we lived on the hills in Cashmere). But then I stopped biking as I had to travel for work.
With all the new cycleways, I wanted to get back into biking, but was hesitant.
Now I’ve had my MeloYelo more than 6 months and travelled about 1300kms. It is so fun, and it’s the best bike I’ve ever had. The size is perfect, the seat is comfy, and the extra help from the motor makes travelling long distances a breeze. It’s just so fun!
This is the best investment I’ve made in travel since buying an electric car 7 years ago. Now with RUCs coming I will be even more motivated to keep biking over winter!
I would recommend to anyone thinking about getting back into biking to invest in a MeloYelo bike. It will change your life!

Though since having our bikes, we have not used them a great deal for various reasons, but to date we have found them very comfortable and enjoying to use. We bought them as part of our retirement plan.
When my wife was demoing one, she didn’t realise that she was starting and finishing from the raised step outside the store, but when she used it for the first time proper, she had difficulty in putting her foot down on stopping as the lowest seat position was too high. I cut off part of the seat shaft to get the seat down to the right level.
Otherwise, they are brilliant

Can’t fault it..great comfy ride.perffect for commuting and lots of fun.

By way of background I have the hub drive version and I’ve had it for around 18 months. It’s my second ebike and I’ve been using ebikes for over seven years. I cycle around once a truce a week in a group of mainly retirees and we usually do around 25 kms on each ride.

So how has the Town n Trail been? Well for me it’s pretty much spot on. I’m not the smallest person in the World (I played prop way back in my Rugby playing days in Scotland!)

I find the bike is very comfortable and has a more than adequate range and power to deal with the routes we ride. It’s been very reliable and easy to operate and I reckon it looks pretty good too.

I’d recommend the bike for anyone who like me wants to use cycle trails and do a little bit of modest off road riding. It didn’t cost the earth either.

I’d give this bike a big thumbs up

I’ve had the bike three years done 1700km and in that time no problems (1 puncture).
The bike is very easy to ride and makes it fun. The battery has a great range have had 120km out of it with one bar still showing.

Have had my bike for about 4 months now. Haven’t used it as much as I should’ve had. But it is a very good bike and make cycling very easy.
As I had a stroke 10 years ago the bike makes it easier for me to go cycling and not get exhausted and feel like I am about ti fall off. As before I got the bike my old bike I wasn’t able to go to far as my body wouldn’t let me. So in that case a great bike and very affordable.

Had my town and trail 3yrs in june.Travelled 15500ks ,has never let me down.It is a superb bike.I just hop on and ride daily.I have knee troubles when walking but not riding.Hills and wind are no problem with the instant power from the throttle.I would and have recommended meloyelo to many…im a good ambassador. Thanks meloyelo.

Love my MeloYelo Town ‘n’Trail have had it since November last year use it pretty much daily to travel to and from work, even when i have hui at schools they are quite used to Nanny Teri rocking in on her paihikara. Have used on trails and have plans for the future doing various trails. Can’t wait and I recommend to everyone.

Love my Town’n Trail! Have it for 8mths and ride it almost every weekend when I am able to. I was a non rider prior to getting my bike, and I am now a converted rider and loving the exercise I am getting and the sights I am seeing!

Owning a Melo Yelo Town n Trail has been a life changer for me. I was quite sediment until I got my e-bike. Now I bike 22km everyday. I have lost weight, toned up, and it has helped lower my blood sugar levels (I am type 2 DB). Overall I feel great and it’s all because of my Melo Yelo bike. It’s easy to ride. Very comfortable (I purchased a wide seat). It goes like the clappers. I just love it ❤️

Great bike! I’m not sure why, but I seem to use my new electrically powered ride more often and save $$ over driving my carbon-emitting one. Must be something to do with my aging, arthritic frame. (Glad to have the bonus thumb-drive on this model!)

My Meloyelo bike has changed my life for the better. In fact I even told my Husband I just love my bike and that he is now my second love my bike comes first, luckily he just laughed at me. When I am out riding my bike I feel free as a bird and at peace with the world. Recently at the age of 71 I had surgery on my knee and thought that was the end of my cycling days but with a bit of determination I gradually got back into it and the last couple of months I have cycled the Otago Rail Trail and part of the West Coast Wilderness Trail plus numerous other tracks and it just goes like a rocket. I’m always telling anyone looking at buying a bike Meloyelo is the way to go. When I was looking at buying a bike after not riding for many years I tried numerous other brands but they just didn’t feel right and I can honestly say when I tried a Meloyelo I Felt safe on it and it just felt like my bike.

I have done 6370ks on my town and trail in 2 years. I have had no problems at all.People say what a good looking bike it is and I am very happy with it.

My wife and I both bought MY Town N’ Trail machines about 9 months ago. Have thoroughly enjoyed the rides; feel we haven’t had the opportunity to really use them yet but find we have done over 1,000 km each in the time we have had them. Handled the Dunstan Trail with ease in March.
More comfortable and easier to use than ther e-bikes we have tried.

I have had my Meloyelo bike for about 7 months now and I absolutely love it. I got it for commuting to/from work but I live it so much that I’ll go biking other times as well. New Plymouth is a rather hilly city and so its great to be able to negotiate the hills with ease as well as take it off road when I want to. Its great to be able to jump on the bike to run errands in town – the trip takes me almost the same amount of time as if I’d driven. No stress finding a carpark and I’m improving my health at the same time.
I find this bike so comfortable to ride, can’t fault it. Would recommend this bike to everyone.

Great bike had it for about 2 years ride Rail trails and mountain trails , the only gripe is hub drive wished I had purchased crank drive.Much easier

I am so happy with my Town and trail bike and the service I received from David. I ride my bike to work about 12ks each day. Now that daylight saving is well over, I am riding in the dark, but with the high-quality lights I find it great and fell quite safe, also love the Tyres it has. I think the overall performance of the bike is great. I wanted to strengthen my legs which is definitely happening. I would not hesitate to recommend the bike to anyone and also the quality of service.
Thank you Mellow Yellow and of course David.

I enjoy riding my Town and Trail. It”s like floating on a cloud. Pedalling is easy and almost effortless. As long as I am pedalling, forward motion is kept. even on lower power settings.The appreciate the trigger to assist when required. The Town and Trail is a great bike

Our two bikes are all they promised to be. Their power, comfort, reliability and features have all made them good value for money and a pleasure to own.
