“It’s just brilliant for biking on Auckland’s hilly streets. I now travel on the bike as much as I can and is often faster than driving.”

I purchased a Smartmotion e-City just over a year ago. It has been one of the best things I’ve ever purchased. I only wish I had had an electric bike years ago! It’s just brilliant for biking on Auckland’s hilly streets. I now travel on the bike as much as I can and is often faster than driving. Even on the flat it is quite fantastic, being able to bike at a decent speed whilst also getting a really good amount of exercise.

The Smartmotion bike that I purchased was the best value for money that I could find on the market – having almost every feature I wanted at a reasonable price. Chris and his team made purchasing both the bike and accessories easy. Their follow-up service has been really good ensuring that I would have confidence to purchase from them again. I can highly recommended purchasing from Electric Bikes New Zealand

Our Smartmotion folding ebikes are amazing! I’ve been enjoying mine for a few years now and find them so versatile and easy to ride. I love that I can bike all the way from west Auckland into town along our beautiful cycle ways and park right outside art galleries or shows at the Civic or Spark Arena and have no worries or expenses about parking. I started biking with my daughters, but it wasn’t long before my pre-teen grandchildren could handle them, and it is our favourite way to get out and about. It actually makes the journey as much a part of the adventure as the destination experience itself. We get many surprised comments from the cyclists we pass and enjoy encouraging others to join the clean green revolution. Give them a go – they are so much fun!

E-Urban

e-Biking is a highlight every day, on some days I overtake more than 150 cars in queues, I feel healthy, I help the environment (every little bit counts) and it has saved me a lot of money as well.

It was around October 2014 when I decided to test drive an electric bicycle to find alternative transport for daily commuting from Torbay to Rosedale, a 15 km return trip, which by car could take anywhere from 15 minutes, to mostly 30-40 minutes on bad days.
I chose the Smartmotion eUrban and bought this in November 2014. The people at Electric Bikes NZ were very helpful and friendly and supplied the e-bike complete with helmet and panniers.

To date, I have commuted every day since. I sold my car. I e-bike in summer and winter, in rain, hail and wind, I have tallied up nearly 7000 kilometer in close to three years now, commuting in only 14 minutes, not matter how congested the North Shore roads.
As a mechanical engineer I really appreciate the quality components and materials used for this e-bike. Brilliant tyres, a very solid frame allowing speeds up to nearly 70 km/hr (downhill) without a problem.
Great brakes, a brilliant Li-ion battery (of which, to date, I have not noticed a decline in power) and proper water resistant power cables and connectors that have had no issues at all.

e-Biking is a highlight every day, on some days I overtake more than 150 cars in queues, I feel healthy, I help the environment (every little bit counts) and it has saved me a lot of money as well.
Riding 15 km / day requires an actual battery charge of 5.7 cents of electricity. Based on 250 working days, the total annual ‘fuel’ cost is $14.25 /ann. Can you believe that! Three cups of coffee?

When I visit the shop to check out new products or for a friendly chat, I am always welcome.
The people of Auckland Electric Bikes give me the peace of mind, a team I that will support me in case something would go wrong, as I rely on my Smartmotion to commute every day.
Without reservation I can recommend the quality build Smartmortion e-bike and the brilliant people of Auckland Electric Bikes behind this product.

I would like to say thank you very much guys since my knees have gotten so bad, I’ve had to give up so much. But after purchasing one of your bikes it’s allowed me to get back out and enjoy riding again, the two young guys that I dealt with there were very friendly and helpful and knowledgeable and I’m getting lots of comments from family and friends about the bike and I can’t recommend you guys enough I’ve had an awesome experience dealing with you.

Thank you from a very happy ebike owner .

I have had the Catalyst bike now for over a year. I love this bike. I am lucky enough to be able to ride my Catalyst to and form work daily . In fact I liked the bike so much I bought one for my wife.

EBNZ’s team’s after sales support servicing and advice is a highlight of dealing with this company. They found the right bike for me.

“The bike has given me more exercise since I have retired than I got from walking and has taken me to lots of areas around Auckland that I would never have walked to.”

Next best thing to taking a dog for a walk, lots of people stop and talk to you and discuss the bike, then the younger generation always give you a smile or a wave and a good on you which makes you feel good and part of a larger community. Not to mention the exercise of course.

The bike has given me more exercise since I have retired than I got from walking and has taken me to lots of areas around Auckland that I would never have walked to. With it being electric you have the confidence to go further and see more knowing that if you require some help you have it.
One of the specific features that I use often is the throttle which gives you that kick start when starting off, crossing roads or a little instant help up that hill, and the ability to set a level of power to suit your ride. It also allows you to get as little or as much exercise as you want on the day.

I enjoy the display panel as I like to know how fast I am biking or how far I have biked which is either in Km,s or time encouraging me to go faster , further or stay out longer. It has a great light and a bell needed for those combined walk /bike tracks.

We own a second E-city bike and I have taken many relatives and friends out for a ride along my favourite ride which is from Onehunga to Ambury Park around the Manuka harbour’s cycleway. The bike is easy to adapt in height and after a lesson on the gears and electrics in the large car park we are off.

Staff at Electric Bikes NZ have been very helpful and answered any questions I have and regularly care for the bike when its routine service is due. It is good to have that friendly ongoing support and know who is servicing your bike. Their expertise and their interest in how you are going is greatly appreciated.

I am looking forward to this summer and riding some of the longer cycleway’s out of Auckland
