Electric bikes designed in Barcelona, made in Portugal and built with German technology, sold from Hannigan Drive in St Johns. The company says it has been building them since 2012. Orders are placed online and delivered to your door within three to five days, ready to ride. Its New Zealand service centres do the final assembly and a professional handover, and can also supply locks and helmets. The models named on the website include the Milano, a Dutch-style step-through bike, the Siena, a foldable bike with large wheels, and the Monza. All models use hydraulic disc brakes and link by Bluetooth to a free app that records rides.
Owners say the Etna folding e-bike makes hills easy. One says the 30 gears let them switch the power off on the flat and still ride comfortably, and they feel more confident on the road. Another bought two Etna folding bikes in July 2020 and praised the quick, efficient sales service. A Milano owner rides to work most days, but had to remove a plastic chain cover that was rubbing and tighten a screw to fix it. For the direct wholesale price, call 0800 693 2453. Our pick in St Johns for a folding e-bike that is easy to store.
