MeloYelo Superlite MD Ebike
The Meloyelo Superlite MD Ebike has been designed and engineered right here in NZ. Its goal is to produce the lightest possible e-bike. It remains robust enough for riding rail trails, timber trails, wilderness trails, and any of the great NZ trails.
If you’re looking for a lightweight e-bike and believe that carbon fibre is the only solution, we’ve got great news for you.
Weighing in at 22kg, the SuperLite ticks all the boxes:
- Step-through frame for easy on and off.
- It is as light as carbon fibre yet robust thanks to its aircraft-grade aluminium.
- High torque Bafang M410HD motor.
- The SuperLite features the Shimano Cues 10 speed drive train. It also offers five levels of pedal assistance, allowing you to tackle the trails with ease.
- Light yet strong air shocks that glide over bumps for superior riding comfort.
- Tektro hydraulic brakes with 180mm rotors, for excellent stopping power.
- Maxxis Ikon puncture-resistant tyres.
- A thumb throttle that can deliver extra motor assistance when you’re climbing steep hills.
- The SuperLite includes Trail-style mudguards, a carrier, and lights. You’re ready to tackle the great trails of NZ with no extra charge for these additions.
- Industry-leading 3-year warranty.
If you’re looking for an e-bike to carry on the back of your motor home or caravan, the SuperLite electric bike is the model. It is as light as possible, making it easy to load and unload on your bike carrier.
