That can be confusing for some folks when they see that we also sell kids bikes and other types of bikes like pathway bikes too! Trust us, it's like this - our focus is on quality products, personal service, and knowing our industry and what local families need.
We know the local riding conditions, and we know the best type of bikes for that, and after owning Revolution Bikes since 21 December 2009, we know what people are looking for and which of their needs we want to meet.
This means we don't try to be the cheapest source of bikes. We are the best, not the cheapest. I'll write more about this in a separate post perhaps, but I suspect people who only want the cheapest have already switched off!
So I'll put up a few of our favourite ebike photos, these bikes are ones that meet our expectation of quality and price, e.g. good value for money, worth paying for, utilising quality and current technology, comfortable and attractive, and something we recommend to our friends and our parent's friends.
You can find all these bikes on our website, just look in whatever category e.g. Leisure e-bikes, or e-mountain bikes to find them.
As always, when you want to talk about bikes please get in contact (phone, email, website, facebook messenger, or from a few meters away at the store!)

Lynda Hallinan reflects on 60 lessons for gardeners from the lockdown (with plenty of idea on what you can sow and grow in May); there's a bumper gardening quiz; we suggest five herbs to reduce anxiety and promote calmness; and visit a Taupo sanctuary full of art and alive with native birds and a wild and wonderful garden in Glenorchy. And since we've been gardening in isolation, Jack Hobbs talks to gardeners on the Chatham Islands about how they keep things growing, 650km from the nearest garden centre. Normally our subscribers get their copy before it goes on sale, of course, but things aren't quite normal right now so if your copy hasn't arrived yet, it should be with you very soon! We are so pleased to have a new issue of your favourite magazine for you, and I cannot wait to hear what you think. NZ Gardener has been informing and inspiring New Zealand gardeners for more than 75 years and we're incredibly grateful to our readers, especially our subscribers, because we couldn't do it without you. And by the way subscribing is easy and a much cheaper way to get your magazine each month! And would an NZ Gardener sub make a great Mother's Day gift this Sunday, you ask? I think we all know the answer to that! Jo
Would like to say a big Thankyou to Brooke for your beautiful card you card you left in our letterbox. Glad the bike found a lovely home and is getting used.
