The COVID crisis resulted in a myriad of bicycle producers being out of stock. It’s great to know that some suppliers have bikes and electric bikes trickling back into town. Among these are some of the MERIDA ebikes. In particular, they have the eSPRESSO models. These are commuter designed ebikes that come in a women’s Mixte style frame and a men’s style frame. They are available in grey and silk green and with two different battery capacities for different budgets and riding ranges. These bikes use the SHIMANO mid-drive system and lithium ion battery. These bike have 9 speed SHIMANO Altus gears and hydraulic brakes. They come complete with integrated lights, rear rack, kick stand and mudguards. These are great bikes to choose if you are going to be commuting 20-60km or more daily and want something with both performance and comfort. It has an up-right riding position and suspension forks to take out the harsher bumps on the road. The eSPRESSO city model is a little different in that is has a very low step through so makes getting on and off super easy and suitable for people with dicky hips or dresses.

The Lekker X Series brings an urban revolution to Australian streets. The X is a bold, robust and functional urban commuter stripped of all excess. Style meets efficiency in a combination of premium components (Shimano, Tektro, Samsung, Bafang) all composed in a straight forward and affordable E-Bike with head turning looks.

The X Series is one of the lighter bikes we’ve seen in recent years, meaning excellent ride feel and battery efficiency with an average range of 40-90 kilometres per charge cycle. Ride effortlessly with its cruiser-style geometry and powerful 250W Bafang front motor. The integrated battery charges in just under 4.5 hours and can easily be removed to charge. Upgrade to the 14.5ah 500w battery and ride up to 140km on one charge!

Lekker X’s stepthrough frame with plenty of adjustment options is able to comfortably suit a wide range of riders and offers easy access. With its extra wide Kenda K-Wick tyres, it’s able to glide over even the harshest city streets and it’s specc’d with robust and functional components to withstand the rigours of daily urban use.

The X Series also offers the peace of mind of excellent stopping power in all conditions featuring Tektro Hydraulic disc brakes with an integrated electric-cut off for extra safety. Combine this with predictable handling characteristics and a high riding position for good all-round vision and you’ve got a seriously capable urban e-bike.

This is an electric folding bike with all the accessories and reliable components one could wish for. The current models all now include integrated front and rear lights, a rear carrier rack and full-length mudguards. Plus we’ve added a higher capacity battery stored neatly within the frame to offer an extended riding range as well as hydraulic disc brakes for solid and dependable stopping power in all conditions. This is a folding bike that rides well, easily folds into a convenient size and is well specced.

Their foldability makes them ideal for campers and caravaners, train commuters or city dwellers with small apartments. Whilst most electric folding bikes we’ve ridden have often been a little agricultural in terms of style and refinement, the Zihni offers excellent quality, styling and riding characteristics at an excellent value.

There are few better ways to share the enjoyment of cycling than with a Tandem. Tandem bikes are designed to be ridden with a captain in the front, and a stoker or passenger in the rear. The rider in the front controls the bike, leaving the rider in the rear, with nothing more to do than to assist with pedalling and enjoy the ride, in fact, the rear rider needs hardly any balancing skills at all. It gets even better when the tandem bike has been equipped with a SOLARBIKE electric conversion kit.

This customer’s bike features a classic tandem geometry frame and a semi-horizontal dropout. It also features two classic cruiser saddles with double springs and alloy V-brakes. Additionally, all SOLARBIKE wheels are disc brake compatible.

This SOLARBIKE electric converted tandem is a great way to share the joy of cycling with friends and family. Tandems are often purchased by couples, families or people with a disability which restricts them from being able to ride a bike on their own. Get a tandem, share the joy of cycling!

OLIVE is a high-performance street/cruiser bike designed by SOLAR BIKE that has a step-through frame geometry for ladies and gentlemen looking for ease with getting on and off. For those looking to take this bike on gravel tracks and trails, we recommend converting to a set of knobbly off-road tyres and it will be a great performer. Otherwise, for on-road use, this is simply a great general-purpose bike that uses top end parts.  It has SHIMANO Alivio gears, Tektro front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, the proven BAFANG hub motor and a top-spec PANASONIC high capacity lithium-ion battery. Couple all of this to some nice extras like front and rear integrated bicycle lights, mudguards and carrier racks and you have an e-bike that eclipses most similar bikes in its class and price range. The seat is designed for comfort and the handlebars come on a stem that can be easily adjusted to suit many riders with no tools needed.  Power can be either by using only the pedal-assist system, using only the throttle and any combination of the two – as well as by pedalling of course. We guarantee that this bike will impress even the most discerning electric bike buyers with its balanced handling, quality componentry and timeless good looks!
