MeloYelo is an electric bike agency in Coromandel, and it works by appointment only. Customers arrange a visit with the local agent, Luen Wong, by call or text. The website says test rides can run for up to an hour, and that Luen will also meet anyone who wants to learn about e-bikes over a cuppa, including the best options for seniors. Complimentary mudguards, lights and a carrier come with the bikes, and the website describes a three-year warranty, with terms and conditions. Most models have thumb throttles.
Customers say the agent explained everything well and matched a bike to their needs. One customer upgraded to a Superlite 3 and says it compares favourably with the other e-bikes they test-rode, and now rides the Timber Trail with more confidence. The website says the business sets its prices low because its agents work from home, and it describes the Hauraki Rail Trail, nearby in Thames, as 160 km of trail.
