    Looking for an ebike that’s equally at home around town and on the trails, without breaking the bank on features you don’t really need? The Roam is your bike. Proven on trails like the Pureora Timber Trail and Alps to Ocean, yet often seen at neighbourhood cafes. Like all of our bikes, the electric system – motor, controller, torque sensor, waterproof cabling and display – all come from Asia’s most trusted name in e-bike electrics: Bafang, while the battery cells come from LG. (You should insist on LG, Samsung or Panasonic cells in your battery.) You won’t find an integrated system like this, designed together to work together and guaranteed together, on any other ebike in this price range. We have a nationwide service network, spare parts available in NZ, and a 2 year warranty on the electrics, plus 6 years on the frame and 1 year on other parts. $2995 with a 468 watt-hour battery; $3195 with a 576 watt-hour battery.
