Built to last as per EU spec.
The Bullit
Frames and full bikes straight from Denmark as of 1 st September. We now have sole agency for NZ and Aus.
Possibly the fastest and sleekest cargo bike - only for mums with street cred !
Lastly and this really something of our own. Our own brand ONYA launches the F - 19
Foldable electric bike with samsung battery in the frame / controller and wiring in the frame.
300 watt bofeilli and 19kg all in, 20"x1.95 ,solid steel forks,
Led lights and 1500-2000 charges.
Nice big frame to accommodate grown humans up to 190 cm - frame by ex schwinn factory, quality components and ultra close resemblence to the famous Dahon s18. They somehow haven't gone electric and have lost interest in the N z market - their loss our gain.
See our young site for details / price and more about us :)
