On a gorgeous day in Mount Maunganui, Gavin from Ecotricity teamed up with Dan Wallace of Vallkree NZ for a ride on our Vallkree Electric Bikes. Vallkree blend power and design into a one-of-a-kind experience. With striking vintage inspired designs, Vallkree Electric Bkes are redefining what it means to ride in style - sustainable transportation does not have to be boring!
Riding through various terrains, Gavin was struck by the smooth ride and head-turning design of Vallkree E-bikes, saying they handled the beach with ease and made riding feel effortless. Dan Wallace highlighted how these eBikes aren't just transportation—they’re a statement for urban commuters and eco-conscious riders alike.
"Our customers rave about Vallkree’s performance and design, especially in cities like Auckland and Wellington. With the 500W motor, hills are no challenge," Dan says.
As Gavin puts it, “These things are just sweet machines... I don’t know what else to say other than you’ve got to try it. It’s got great tires, it’s got great ride, it’s got great quality components—it’s just a sweet machine. The only downside is, every time I ride one, I want to take it home.”
Vallkree eBikes are powered by high-performance Japanese Hub Motors, offering models with 250W, 500W, and dual 500W motors. This superior engineering allows for smooth rides with power to spare, giving riders control over different terrains while maintaining a comfortable experience.
A standout feature of Vallkree eBikes is their sleek, retro design inspired by the 1920s café racers. Each bike boasts leather grips, fat tires, and stainless steel frames, blending vintage aesthetics with modern technology. Hidden within these stylish frames are 696W batteries, offering a range of 50-65 km per charge, giving riders extended travel on a single charge.
With 6 levels of pedal assist and speeds of up to 42 km/h, Vallkree eBikes provide both comfort and power for any rider. Whether tackling city streets or hitting the beach, the bike’s design offers versatility and ease, making it perfect for urban commuters and adventure seekers alike.
