The Joy and Freedom of E-Bikes in Southland
At The Electric Motor Vehicle Company (EMVC), we specialise in offering electric and hybrid mobility solutions that are shaping the future of transport in Southland — and that now includes a growing range of electric bikes.
🚴♀️ More Than Exercise — It’s About Access and Enjoyment
“Traditionally, cycling was reserved for the moderately fit,” says Alex de Boer, Managing Director of EMVC. “Now, thanks to electric-powered bicycles, pedalling is no longer a barrier — it’s a gateway.”
With a geared electric motor supporting your effort, riders of all fitness levels and ages — even in their 80s — are now embracing adventures like the Otago Rail Trail and other scenic rides across the South Island.
⚡ 4 Levels of Power Assistance = Total Freedom
“You can cruise comfortably and conquer hills with ease,” adds Bob Turner, Sales Manager. “Most of our e-bikes offer up to four levels of assistance, giving you full control over your ride — whether you’re climbing, cruising, or commuting.”
