GeoByke E-Bikes Built for Southland – Power, Range & Comfort for NZ Conditions
Published: April 2024 | As featured in the Southland Express
The Electric Motor Vehicle Company (EMVC) is proud to announce its own line of electric bikes: GeoByke — engineered specifically for New Zealand riders and landscapes. After years of watching customers struggle to find affordable, high-performance electric bikes that could handle Southland’s rugged conditions, we decided to design our own.
GeoByke bikes combine carefully selected components with robust frame designs, all manufactured by a leading e-bike maker in China. We worked closely with the factory to develop a range tailored to NZ conditions, ensuring comfort, power, and long-term reliability.
“We’ve built e-bikes that solve the biggest challenges riders face: power to climb steep hills, range to go the distance, and reliability to handle everything from city roads to backcountry trails.” — Alex de Boer, Managing Director
Built for New Zealand Terrain
Our e-bikes are fitted with large-capacity batteries (up to 840Wh), 48V power systems, and multiple levels of pedal assist up to 45km/h. Most models include a throttle feature, giving riders a boost when starting or navigating hills.
Because we’re involved in the value chain from the beginning, we’re able to offer high-quality e-bikes at competitive prices without cutting corners on components or performance.
