Graham provided me with great service through the process of purchasing my E bike. Graham brought a bike to my home for a test ride. A week later I am gleefully riding my new bike along the road. Graham answered all the questions I had to ask and I now have an E bike tailored to my needs.

Thank you Graham, you’ve been brilliant to deal with, giving us friendly helpful advice without any sales pressure to buy. Your follow up service has been excellent, nothing is too much trouble for you. Loving my Superlite MeloYelo and I am looking forward to exploring more trail rides without the huffing and puffing up the steep hills. Thanks again Graham you’ve been awesome! Cheers Laurel and Rod

I have been finding my old mountain bike a little demanding on the hilly stuff as the years are catching up a bit but I don't want to slow down so I got seriously interested in an ebike. I wanted to try one before committing and contacted Graham from MeloYelo Whangarei. He couldn't have been more helpful, dropping off a Town and Trail for an extended test as well as talking me through the pros and cons of other models and bringing a couple to me to try. I was very impressed with the performance and build quality of all of them and as a result have just taken delivery of an Ascent mountain bike which I intend exercising regularly both on and off road. I have no hesitation in recommending MeloYelo and Graham in Whangarei in particular.

My Meloyelo Ascent MD bike has opened up a whole new world of cycling for me. From the moment of my first phone call with agent Peter, I knew I had found someone who listened to my requirements. It was evident that he has a wealth of knowledge and experience about MeloYelo bikes, which he is willing to share in a friendly and open manner.Once I decided to make the purchase, I was able to procure the bike immediately, much appreciated in these Covid times when there is a shortage of Ebikes in NZ. Peter then delivered my bike for me the same day, collected our supplementary number plate to take home and attach to the Yakima rack which we were also able to purchase from him.This is my second Ebike and there is no comparison between the two. The performance of combination using both the mechanical gears and battery power on my Ascent MD is second to nothing else I have ridden. There is no stopping this superannuant now. Thank-you MeloYelo and a big thank-you to Peter.

I recently purchased my first E-Bike - a MeloYelo Traverse - through the Mt. Albert dealer in Auckland - Brent RussellI found Brent excellent to deal with. His knowledge of electric bikes is extensive and he went out of his way to make sure I was happy and comfortable with my purchase. Brent went above and beyond and I highly recommend him. I love the bike. Thanks Brent. Thanks MeloYelo

Buying from Brent was easy and informative. Great to have someone with knowledge and experience to answer questions and give advice. We felt more at ease knowing there's backup or help on hand should anything go wrong and that there wasn't any sales person just trying to sell you one of many bikes in a shop.

I purchased the Ascent M D in December 2021. Since then we have biked the Dunstan and A2Ocean plus various other South Island trails. My bike was a delight to ride. I never ran out of battery even on the challenging 85km day. I love my bike and highly recommend it to anyone considering ebiking. Nigel Mannering our agent in Napier has been exceptional in the service he provided. Thanks meloyelo!

Bruce and Nancy are great ambassadors for Melo Yelo. Very low key sales approach that sits very well with the demographic buying E bikes. The bike packages represent great value and compare very favourably with other offerings. They make an excellent team. Have recommended them to friends thinking of buying.

I am the very happy owner of a Traverse Mountain bike which I bought from Bruce in March 2019. I previously had an Evocity which was great for around town and gentle trails, but was looking for a bike that could handle the tougher conditions. I had only had it 2 days when I took it out on the Timber Trail, a great 2 day test for it! It handled the track no sweat and passed other e bikes on our ride with ease when on the steep uphill sections. I felt confident on the tight turns and we had rain on the second day that gave us wet, slippery conditions and I felt safe at all times. The battery lasted easily each day. I like the way I don't have to have the motor on all the time as it is easy to cycle. Bruce made the process of buying the bike very comfortable and I never felt pressured. He and Nancy even came all the way across town to deliver it for me!

Two days ago a picked up my new MeloYelo Superlite from MeloYelo Papamoa. Well the experience was really very good indeed. Vera’s knowledge of her product is excellent. With the help of the wonderful Mike who set up the bike for me following my specifications, I can only say that I would recommend them to anyone who wants to go the e-bike route. They went above and beyond.Yesterday I did a 20 km ride around a very hilly Whangamata and was duly impressed with the Superlite. It’s my second e-bike but certainly for me the better one.Once again thanks and see you for the first service.

Vera was great to deal with. Very professional and easy to engage with. Vera took the time to set the bike up to suit me. Showed me how to operate the bike to get the maximum out of the bike. She shared her knowledge and experience and provided honest input - gave ideas and suggestions on insurance and bike security. Brilliant customer service

Recently purchased a melo yelo ebike from Vera In Papamoa . She was very informative and had brought a variety of bikes to a motorhome rally in Whakatane where we could test ride them at ease . It had been awhile since I had rode a bike but found the yellow Townee extremely comfortable and safe to ride. Am very pleased with my purchase. Will now be able to explore some bike trails on our adventures.

Thank you to Vera and her mechanic Mike. Vera was organized for our visit, bikes at the ready, able to answer all my questions and understanding of my wonky knee and it's limitations. Mike took me to try out different bikes. He was understanding of my limits and Lack of confidence. He actually instilled some self-belief in me....thanks heaps for your patience Mike. A positive experience.

Thank you to Vera and Michael for being very friendly, helpful and professional.Vera is very knowledgeable and had all the parts required for Michael to adjust my bike to make sure my posture would be correct to help ensure a comfortable and enjoyable ride.I was able to have a few test rides which gave me the confidence to proceed.Thank you again for making the purchase a pleasurable experience.

As soon as I arrived at Vera's place I could see the quality of the bikes.Vera then went on to explain everything to me and after my test ride I was more than impressed with the simplicity to operate the bike.I didn't even try to negotiate anything because after checking out all the other electric bikes on the market , I found that MeloYelo to be an excellent buy.After riding from Te Puna to Omokoroa and return, the battery was still on full charge.I personally believe that these are value for money and if not undervalued.Vera's service and knowledge was outstanding and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an ebikeThanks Athol.

I researched e-bikes for many weeks before deciding on a MeloYelo. My decision was based, not only on the bike, but Rob McEwen's commitment to our environment, and education, through his EVolocity Charitable organisation. So, I made an appointment with Vera - I didn't have a model in mind, I just knew, I would find the right one. And I did ! No "salesy" pitches, no judgements, no steering me towards a higher priced product, and no rushing off pandering to other customers...I liked that. Actually, chatting with Vera was like having a cuppa with an old friend. I felt relaxed and unrushed, I rode the bike in a normal environment on suburban streets, Vera patiently explained, in detail, all I needed to know about the bike...and believe me, Vera knows her bikes and her business. For that reason, I would recommend her to anyone who is considering buying an e-bike. Thank you Vera, for your patience, your knowledge and your integrity. We will be back !!!

We had completed a big research on ebikes different brands and listened to people’s reports. Meloyelo, for us, appeared to be what we wanted.We contacted Vera Nelson in Papamoa and were not disappointed. Even though she was extremely tired nothing was any bother. She assembled the bikes then delivered earlier than she said. And on delivery she ensured we were all good with various areas on the bikes such as unlocking the battery to changing of a tyre.She also offered if we were to breakdown somewhere, just give her a ring and she would assist us, provided it wasn’t a public holiday. 😊 She would also fix the puncture for us.In other words Vera was 100% committed to her work without any complaints even helping us to register our bikes.A big THANK YOU Vera.Janice and,Paul McKeany

Maurice & Dianne TorrWe had been looking at e bikes for some time and a trip to the local fish and chip shop got us onto Vera & Michael.Michael cruised up on an e bike while we were waiting for our order and we thought that it looked like a good bike.We approached them and while talking found out that they were sold from their home. Michael gave us the website to look at.We are an older couple and a lot of the bikes have a bar that are quite high that you have to fling your leg over but we were looking for a step through and we also wanted lights and mudguards. We found exactly what we wanted and promptly emailed Vera to make an appointment to view and try out these bikes. We tried a couple of different ones but after some thought decided the Tranzit MD was the one for us.The service we got from Vera & Michael was excellent, they took us out on test rides and showed us everything we needed to know We highly recommend Vera & Michael.Best decision we have ever made and we bike for miles and really enjoy our trips as the bikes are so easy to operate.Thank you Vera & Michael for your excellent service5 star ratingMaurice & Dianne

I have had an amazing experience in purchasing my Ebike with Vera and Mike. My partner purchased it and Vera very kindly rode the bike home with me a showed me how to use the gears. I was very impressed with the personal service which is very few and far between these days. Had a bit of adjusting needed so text them and they couldn’t have been more helpful. Fixed the problem and my bike and I have a lovely bonding. I would highly recommend them and their service to anyone. Thank you to you both for making this such a pleasurable experience. We went out and rode about 40 km this morning. I just absolutely LLOOVVEE my bike. Arohanui xx

My 'Bootee' electric bike was purchased from Malcolm so that it would fit easily in to the boot of the motorhome. As I am 84 years young it had to be lifted over a lip at chest height which I can do. I am enjoying the exercise and the exhilaration of wind whistling over my face and expect to continue to feel confident in the craftsmanship and technology of my bike. The friendly after sales service has been willingly given. Safe easy assisted pedalling everyone. Richard Fowler.

Malcolm was great to deal with and I am loving my e-bike. Malcolm was very knowledgeable about all the models of Melo Yelo bikes and acceccories, but was not pushy. He had a great knowledge of biking in general and set my bike up prefectly for me. I have already recommended Malcolm to several of my friends. My Melo Yelo bike is the best thing I have purchased for a long time.RegardsCathy Baker

Having evaluated a lot of e-bikes, I finally chose a MeloYelo. Apart from the excellent sale service from Malcolm, my MeloYelo E Bike is exactly what I was after. I was really impressed to the thought that went into the design, and that it was purpose designed for my age group making it the best out there for us older riders. Plus it is great to ride.

06:23 03 Dec 20
Hi Malcolm was a FIND.His knowledge of the bike i purchased was both technical and consumer focused. He held on to the bike for several months until i could pick it up and generally went over and above. I find buying products from this type of dealer is better than dealing with a chain of bike shops. Totally recommend !

We purchased my wife's E/bike from Malcolm during lockdown in June2020. We found Malcolm to be very friendly ,helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Although my wife hasn't ridden it much since we purchased it the bike has very good components on it and looks nice. Bigger tyres make for a pleasurable ride. I certainly would recommend MeloYelo E-Bikes to anyone considering to purchase.
Alex Allen
20:28 02 Dec 20
Melo -Yelo bikes are the best. Incredible value for money. Half the price of the equivalent you would find in a store. The bikes are hardy, durable, quality products. The after purchase service is unbelievable - instant access to the local agent, who will give help over the phone, or offers immediate service should the bikes need a tweek. We have bought 3 of these bikes - you would have to ask the question - why would I pay twice the price for an inferior product, with hopeless after purchase service?. Melo-Yelo is a personally owned company that offers personal service..

We hired Tony and Helen’s E-bikes for an afternoon and visited many of the local wineries. Tony and Helen were very accommodating and friendly - given we had called them at such short notice. Very helpful in suggesting routes too. The bikes themselves were very good quality and kept in good nic. Made the journey home easier with a bit of assistance after a few vinos. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

I bought the SuperLite bike under three months ago (including a couple of weeks out with COVID and for utterly hostile weather) and I’ve already racked up well over 1500 km! It’s a joy to ride, so light and manoeuvrable. It took me a week or so to get used to the synergy between the electric motor and gears, but once I got it, I was AWAY!

I ❤️ my Mello yellow e bike it's a tranzit and very comfortable ride I love the support I have received from the Mello yellow team they couldn't have done more for me.its great on trails and just around town I wouldn't trade for another I think they are great for older people to.i get comments about it being a great bike and they are wrong.

I love my new bike. I have painful arthritis in my feet preventing me from enjoying all the walks I used to be able to do. Now I can enjoy them all again. Ken was so helpful, kind and patient showing me the different models and so knowledgeable about the functions of the bikes. There was no need to be nervous because they are a dream to ride .The price was great too. Thanks MeloYelo team for getting me out and about in the fresh air again.I have a new lease on life 😁.

Ken listened carefully to my experience with ebikes and the criteria I required in a new one. He allowed me to try out several and was interested in my feedback. He was courteous and keen to help. Ken always phoned me back and tried very hard to help me get my old ebike fixed , even though he couldn’t fix it himself he shared ideas with my husband about what he might do.My husband and I then both bought lovely new MeloYelo bikes and it’s a joy to ride them. We love our bikes and feel thrilled with our choices. Many thanks MeloYelo and to Ken especially. He does great service!!

Kens agency provides excellent service. 5 Stars as far as we are concerned. Our 4 star rating is for the bike. We bought an Ascent based the bike design and on the Consumer Report on the Bafang Motor. The bike design is second to none. Robust, high quality standard fittings and a wide "Step Through" essential given Wendy's disability. I have had 55 years cycling experience on road and trails. Four of those years involving E Bikes of which I have ridden many over a wide variety of terrain. Prior to purchase Wendy test rode the bike on the flat. Great. But hill climbing was not as good as other E bikes ridden on lower power settings (2 out of 5). Ken has optimised the Ascents motor controller settings and changed the 42 tooth chain ring for a 38. Hill climbing is improved but you need to be on power setting 4 or 5 to get the assistance needed. The MeloYelo is a good bike but we would recommend you test ride a variety of brands up steep hills to make sure it you are comfortable with the need to change both power settings and gears on approaching a steep hill so you can keep up with your E Bike riding friends on the inclines.

Ken could not of been more helpful. He spent lots of time talking to my wife and I about what our plans were for biking. He then explained the differences between the various models which help us decide on what model was best for us. In our case a Traverse for me and an Ascent for my wife. We are now both looking forward to many biking adventures of discovery.

I purchased a Tranzit MD eBike from Ken and I am very happy with its quality, performance and stability both on the road and on tracks. It is a joy to ride and I highly recommend the Meloyelo brand. Ken was very helpful and knowledgeable about the different options available and ensured I got the best model for my biking requirements. Once my bike arrived, he ensured that it was set up perfectly for my height etc and I also bought the NCX suspension post which makes my seat even more comfortable and makes for a very smooth ride.

I purchased "The Roam" about 6 months ago and have clocked up 800kms, mainly around town and a few local bike trails around New Plymouth. Ken did a post sale check and since then the bike has not missed a beat. It is of good solid construction and easy and comfortable to ride with it's memory foam saddle. A handlebar rear view mirror is a must for busy roads. Puncture free tires give a feeling of security. Ken is a very agreeable agent, easy to deal with and I can highly recommend him and the company. So if you are looking for an ebike, Meloyelo should be at the top of your list.

I am super happy with my e-bike that I bought through Michael from Legend Bikes. The customer service I experienced was fantastic and not to mention I have never ridden a bike so much in the past few weeks as this e-bike is so easy to ride and super comfortable compared to my previous mountain bike. I am a definite convert!

Dave was extremely helpful with all aspects of the purchase of my Meloyelo bike. He allowed me time on different bikes and different setups on the bikes. He answered all questions my husband and I asked showing his in-depth knowledge. I was very grateful to have the time to try the bikes on a quiet country road and also up a steep hill which made the decision making much easier. He delivered the bike as soon as I paid and I have been impressed with his service. I would recommend him.

I found David to be an exceptional “people person”. He was very easy to talk to, explained all about e-bikes to a first time user with a practical and easy manner. It was obvious that his technical knowledge was extensive which gave me confidence and made it an easy decision to buy. David’s customer service was excellent from the moment I met him til when he delivered my bike the next day. I will highly recommend him to any of my friends interested in purchasing a Meloyelo ebike.

Dave was really friendly and helpful. There were a couple of suitable bikes for me to look at as I needed a low step through due to health reasons and he explained fully the different properties and additional options available. His property is on a great stretch of road which allowed for a decent trial ride and a chance to go through the gears and speeds. I chose the wider upright handlebars and the full suspension seat which I am glad I did. The hardest decision was choosing the colour, green or blue, I opted for the blue! Have had a couple of rides with my partner along the highway trails between Peka Peka and Paekakariki and thoroughly enjoyed it and he is also looking at getting an ebike when the larger ones comes into the country. Great decision, looking forward to getting out and exploring all the trails.

Dave was very helpful and knowledgeable to help me choose the right bike for my wife. It was also very helpful being able to test the bikes on his quiet country road which included a slight slope and the option of a steeper hill. For a first timer on an electric bike this gave me a better idea of how these bikes work and the difference between rear and centre hub drives. Highly recommend him and the MeloYelo bikes for your next purchase.

After attending a PCC initiative of Ebike's I was sold. Dave Rumsey of Velocity was in attendance and it was Dave's enthusiasm that sold me on an Ebike. Super Gold card holders can get a discount on selected models. I contacted Dave and arranged a viewing of the bike I had selected a Townee model I tried it out and bought it, As I wasn't eligible for a discount I was offered accessories to add to my bike. Thanks Dave a great ambassador to the new recreation. Mike Dixon,

I am in my mid 60's & while I have biked in previous years, due to hip issues have found it increasingly harder to get out & ride.I purchase a Melo Yelo town & Trail in December 2021 and have since ridden 300kms on the bike. It has opened up a new world of experience, I live on the Kapiti Coast and riding the expressway track & other tracks around the area has been an enjoyable experience. The bike is superb to ride & while some friends have said it is a cheat to own an e bike, I know I would not have ridden the distances I have on a non e bike.Shane, the dealer in kapiti is very knowledgeable & a very helpful bloke to deal with.

I love my MeloYelo bike which is so easy to ride when it’s windy and also up the hill I live at the top of.I am impressed with the philosophy of the company and found trying the bike on a quiet country road at Dave’s place in Otaki made all the difference and gave me the confidence that I was purchasing a very good product.I haven’t yet got to my 500km for various reasons but when I do I shall be availing myself of the free service check.I have recommended MeloYelo to a number of people and have no hesitation in doing this.Great product, great company and the reps have great knowledge as they are bikers themselves.

I just love the bike it’s great value for money for what you get in comparison to other E bikes . I am very thankful I was recommended to David by another melo yelo e bike purchaser , . I already have and will continue to recommend David to others . Keep up your passion for melo Yelo e bikes David it’s inspirational .

My Town 'n Trail was delivered today! So excited to see it. Gary has been fantastic, explaining everything about the bikes and helping in deciding which one would suit me best. I can't wait to get out and about on it. I'm very pleased that, after visiting a couple of local bike shops, I decided to check out MeloYelo. His enthusiasm for the product was a key factor in my decision.

I received my Town n Trail E-Bike yesterday. The rep. for Marlborough Gary was awesome. We went to his home and saw all of the bike range and also got to try them for ourselves. Gary is happy to answer any questions and is very knowledgeable about the bikes. It was great that Gary dropped my bike off at my home then went for a ride with me and made any adjustments required whilst we were biking. I have had two rides on my bike so far and what a difference it is making for me already.

Great bike. Would recommend it once the “experts” fix the glitch with the mudguards. They’re not secure and particularly the front developed a continuous rattle. Lucky we have a McGiver in the family who secured the mudguard by adding a support bar from the mudguard to the frame. Just like the bikes in the “old days”. No more rattle.

Wouldn't be without it and incredible value for money. Best of all is the service - from the information to the setting up of your bike for you specifically- and then there's the follow-up emails post purchase. MeloYelo is the BEST!!

I bought my Traverse in May and am really enjoying the experience. I'm amazed at the battery life, I haven't seen less than 3 bars since I've been riding. My longest ride has been < 50kms at this point so no worries with battery charge and going further. I've also ridden without the motor assistance and its really geared very well.I especially enjoy the throttle especially on those very steep hills it makes the effort much more pleasant!Am really looking forward to summer riding around the many trails available to explore on a very comfortable ebike.Thanks Melo Yelo.

I looked and checked out E'-bikes for 3 years to see if I 'needed' one. I live in Dunedin and it's all hills. Nathan of MeloYelo Dunedin was very helpful and we decided which bike was most useful for me. Basically for me it was also sitting on different bikes and seeing which one felt right too. I thoroughly recommend MeloYelo bikes and Nathan in Dunedin. Thank you.

Graeme was very helpful sitting down for a good chat about what I was wanting from an e-bike and explaining their workings. I then had a test ride on his demo bike and was given more information when I got back from that. There was no pressure to buy, but when I decided to buy the Superlite it came with a number of complimentary accessories and further advice on service intervals etc. So far I have only ridden it within the city, but it is super easy to ride and I look forward to doing an occasional longer cycle trail ride in the future.
