Try + Buy a SmartMotion eMetro for FREE*

Buy your SmartMotion eCity on our “I need a bike today” Layby Programme.  See bottom of page for details.

Overview:

The SmartMotion eCity electric bike / ebike is not only fantastic value, it is super comfortable and easy to ride with plenty of power from the rear wheel to get you up those hills.  It is a great commuter or city bike featuring upgraded Shimano Altus 8 shifters, integrated lights and extra plush seat with suspension seat post. It also features an integrated USB charge port in the battery for charging cell phones, etc and an extra large 15Ah battery for lots of range.

Differences from the lesser eMetro

• Rear wheel drive vs. front wheel drive
• Front fork suspension vs. rigid forks
  • NB that makes the eCity incompatible with a front carry rack
• Integrated front battery powered light vs. reflector only
• Bigger battery pack (15ah vs. 10ah)
• LCD travel computer / speedo / odometer etc. vs. nothing
• Pedal activated throttle vs. throttle
• 8 speed derailleur (better on hills) vs. 3 speed internal hub (better on flat)

The SmartMotion electric bicycle range expands on the success of the eDrive system and keeps the same design ethos: super-reliable, yet affordable. Being designed for NZ’s weather, you can ride comfortably and confidently every day, rain or shine Continue reading the story here…

Here at Cairns Electric Bikes we understand that electric bikes each have their uniqueness and it is important for the customer and the bike to be matched.  So we let you take it out for 24 hours for free!  How it works:

1. Decide which bike you are interested in and pay the determined pre purchase trial bond fee for that bike.
2. Take the bike out for a spin
3. Return the bike and complete the purchase and the trial bond will contribute to the purchase price:
   1. So you will ‘rent’ your bike for free!
   2. Failure to complete the purchase will result in the ‘rental’ fee being kept by the retailer
