Smart Power E Bikes is an electric bike shop in Brightwater, Tasman, and the foldable Cherokee Chief is the model its website puts first for campervans and motorhomes. The shop sells e-bikes and accessories with pedal assist. Its website names Bafang motors and Samsung batteries, and parts from Shimano, Kenda, Tektro and Zoom. The Urban Xplorer is described for city commuting with weekend trail use. A front basket for the Alpine Explorer and Cherokee Chief is listed at $95.00 NZD as at 2026.
A testimonial on the website from a Cherokee Chief owner says they have ridden over 2,500 kilometres since 2022 and can fold the bike into a small car. The shop offers a 7.5% discount to Grey Power, Gold Card and NZMCA members, and is an approved WorkRide retailer, so eligible e-bikes come with the subsidy built in. The website also mentions free shipping across New Zealand, manufacturer warranties and 24/7 support. Pedal assist is central to the range, giving moderate exercise without strain. Our pick in Brightwater for a foldable e-bike for campervan trips.
