If you’re looking for a super quality bike that doesn’t need a bike carrier, can be snapped into a car boot, locker, lift, train, bus, ferry, and yet glide 50-100km to and from wherever, it’s been found!
It’s the urban commuter/weekend road/trail answer to your mobile-lifestyle dreams, and due to Ebo’s direct importing model, it’s cheap.
Turns out Ebo BikEs NZ has moved into College Hill with the “World’s Best FoldiE bike” range. We took one for a spin and couldn’t believe it! What a bike. These things are REAL bikes. They are the biggest FoldiE in the UK, and in the top tier in Belgium and the Netherlands in the FoldiE class. That’s proof alone.
Alan Dempsey, certified bike-nut, and owner of Ebo says, “My love of FoldiEs started six years ago after coming across them in a bar in Brussels. I’d seen them around France and Belgium and was sitting in a brewery/pub when a very cool exec/business couple pulled up on these amazing alloy FoldiEs. It turned out that they’d backpacked in New Zealand 10 years before; they saw my Kiwi T-shirt, and Belgians like cyclists, so I qualified for a ride.
Well, that was it - I was astounded. I’d ridden lots of Ebikes, but this was a whole new world. I had to track down the license for these things, which I did, and then set about up-specking, the whole bike to match New Zealand’s hills and rugged conditions with heavy duty 350W (detoxed 400W) custom motor, massively upscaled batteries, super, efficient software, and higher gearing to make the whole thing a cruise as well as a buzz.
I own over 20 bikes, but I live on my original Ebo SuperTour, which I’ve since taken to Europe and toured in seven countries with. Yes, TOURED, best 10 weeks of my life.
What started as a hobby has turned into a serious business. So, we’ve set up a full showroom, workshop, warehouse, and spares dept. right here on College Hill.
Not all FoldiEs are born equal, and it comes down to engineering, geometry, wheelbase, motor torque and quality everywhere; these are the keys. The UK designer/patent holder on these bikes is a dynamics genius, no less, but Alan of Ebo has put the whole thing into “Aotearoa mode”. Commute or tour, tar, or gravel hardpack, these things do it.
The Ebo is agile, quick, chill when cruising, and seriously grunty on hills. Ebo have done it well and for under $2K. Call for an appointment demo.
