These bikes are absolutely fantastic! We have been on 3 rides so far and they have well and truly exceeded all our pre-purchase expectations. One of the rides was the Whakarewarewa Forest Loop (The Redwoods) in Rotorua, one of NZ's "Great Rides". These bikes performed magnificently on this intermediate grade track. The full suspension made for a very comfortable ride and with plenty of pedal assist modes available (including off) you get to choose how much of a workout you get, but in "Auto Mode" these machines just fly up the steepest hill. We highly recommend these bikes and can't wait for our next ride.
The finish line chain cleaner is the best invention for cleaning the chain properly without a great mess & with the ability to rebuild it at a reasonable cost
I have tried several e-bikes and had come to the conclusion I didn't enjoy 29" wheels on a heavy bike. At 70yrs old I have been concerned I would injure myself if I had to stop suddenly. So I bought the Sinch Mode 2 Women's Internal. Lighter and 27.5in wheels. After my first decent ride on this bike, Wanaka to Hawea (for coffee) and return, I am very happy. Even on the hills and trying to keep up with my partner, I never used more power than Level 2/7. The bike is comfortable and I felt confident- a major for me. Thank you Sinch a great bike!
I can’t believe it took me so long to switch to an e-bike! I used to think e-bikes were cheating, but after having my Sinch Mode 3, I can safely say I was wrong. This bike has completely reinvigorated my love for cycling—I’m getting out on my bike more than ever because it just makes life easier and more fun, especially in the summer heat!
The pedal assist is a game-changer, especially on hills and rugged trails—making climbs feel effortless. The integrated battery looks sleek, and the dropper suspension seat is next level. I don’t know how I lived without a dropper seat!
It’s a great, versatile bike that’s made me switch to commuting to work as well as wanting to hit the trails more often. Couldn’t recommend it more!
First time on an eBike - have had the Sinch Mode 3 for 1 year now. Still use it regularly and love every minute of it. If you are keen to get out more, and perhaps explore some local trails - this is the bike for you. Depending on rider weight and how much uphill there is - you will get 2-4hrs battery life which is pretty good in my opinion - there are bikes now with bigger batteries and longer life - so depends on how long you intend to ride for.
The downsides of this bike for the serious rider out there hitting the trails - the fork is no good. As you ride more, its like it heats up and overheats and gets stiffer and stiffer, to the point my wrists were hurting. Had it serviced twice by the local bike shop and didn't make a difference. I had to upgrade to an entry level Rock Shox fork and it made such a difference to the overall ride comfort and handling.
The other thing that let this bike down is the suspension seatpost. At 100kg rider and gear weight, this thing had a up and down variance of 40mm which is no good for maintaining the ideal saddle height. I swapped it out for a non suspension dropper post and the difference was night and day.
So 4 stars from me. Cost me about $600 to upgrade the bad bits and its a solid bike now.
We got a small and large and so far very happy with them. Very smooth on most terrains, handles very well, excellent power delivery . Quite heavy and some may find them awkward to load onto a bike rack.Very good value for money. Excellent dealer.
I have just recently brought the Sinch Force 4.5 EQ.
So nice and smooth to ride. Powers up the hills. I also brought the battery r tender so can go further. Highly recommend this bike.
This bike is sick. So much fun with the shotgun. My girl is 3, about 16kg and we have done the kindy drop off and pick up for two days now. Such a good way to safely get out and about because you’re positioned so upright that it is easy to look around and see cars. We live up a big hill too and it was all good. Very stable with dropper post too. I then took the dog for a burn through the muddy park and the fat tyres were all good. Such a fun bike. Def recommend!!! Oh and the lights and mud guards - can tell there is kiwi whakaaro here!
Haven't been on a bike since my school days - now I can't keep off the thing! Superbly crafted, comfortable, smart technology with loads of power, this ebike has helped me discover paths, trails (coffee shops) I never knew existed. Who needs a car to get to work.. heck I just take my Sinch ebike now!
Smooth, fast, powerful, comfortable and a huge range. This is a very well-engineered bike. Very pleased with it. Thank you to the team at Sinch. Buy Kiwi!
Great bike. Very easy-to-use and operate. Very comfy seat as well. Love it
First e bike I have brought. Easy to ride and look forward to doing many trips on it
Hsve been really enjoying this bike. Especially with being short. Being able to put the seat up and down is perfect. It is not a heavy bike.
We have these bikes in our hire fleet at Kiwi Journeys Nelson and Hokitika and they are an awesome reliable bike for our customers. I took my very small Japanese exchange student with us on a 4 day bike tour on the West Coast Wilderness Trail and she used a 26 inch Sinch bike and kept up with us and was more comfortable on this bike that was perfect for her size rather than feeling like a small adults bike was a bit too big.
I just love my Sinch Bike, I love it because the design fits well with my old mountain bike. It feels sturdy and its a Kiwi design which is another reason I bought it. The handle bars are more comfortable allowing my wrists to relax rather than grip as there is a larger area to rest my hands. Easy to use and feels very safe and comfortable. I have only had the bike 3 weeks but go every where now on it. I didn't do much research but the local cycle shop did a great sales job. Then I did the research and the rest is history
I wanted this bike as it is designed and made by locals (in NZ) and it has also proved a joy to ride.
Very happy with the purchase. Nice colour, comfortable and easy to ride. Enjoying the three options for pedal assistance. Makes hills a breeze! Kim was great to deal with.
Just purchased the Mode 2 internal, and love it! Easy to ride and comfortable. Dealt with Kim and the service was super efficient and friendly. Totally recommend these bikes and the team at Sinch.
I absolutely love this bike!! So comfortable to ride and love the boost power up the hills!! Very happy customer :)
My first e-bike. Am really pleased that after only a couple of spins I am comfortable with the bike. Have had some fun trying it out and feeling more confident with the weight , the different modes and am finding the drop saddle very handy.
Love it Thanks :blush:
Very pleased with purchase and would recommend sinch bikes to anyone. We have purchased 2 bikes to date and both bikes are exactly what they advertised as.
I had been a ride few times and love it. Waiting for next good weather.
Bought a Sinch Jaunt 1, what a fantastic bike. It really is a breeze to ride. A great product, so...
Loving my new bike. Kim made the whole process of ordering online stress free. Easy communication meant I knew what was happening. Great people and great product. Thanks Kim
