MeloYelo Rangiora is the local agent for MeloYelo, a Kiwi-owned electric bike company founded in 2016. Rather than running a traditional shopfront, MeloYelo uses home-based agents to keep overheads down, allowing everyday low prices on its range of electric bikes.
The Rangiora agent is Allan Barr, a motor mechanic by trade who spent seven years teaching automotive and engineering at Rangiora High School. His interest in electric vehicles led him into EVolocity in schools, which in turn led to his involvement with MeloYelo. Allan and his wife Nicki offer expert, personal guidance to help customers find the right e-bike, and encourage customers to come for a ride before deciding.
Visitors can book a test ride in a relaxed, no-pressure setting, with rides available for up to an hour away from busy streets to get a genuine feel for a bike's performance and comfort. MeloYelo e-bikes come with no-cost extras including mudguards, lights and a carrier, larger battery options, a three-year warranty (terms and conditions apply), and access to a nationwide service network. Appointments are essential to visit the Rangiora agent.
