Sinch Bikes Dealer, NZ
We've been part of the Sinch story since the early Jaunt days. What began for us with straightforward, comfortable city e-bikes has grown into a much broader range, from everyday commuters to full-suspension step-through bikes for longer rides and cycle trails.
A New Zealand brand that listens
Sinch is a New Zealand brand founded by cycling industry veterans Kim Struthers and Stephen James. Being close to the people designing the bikes makes a difference. The Sinch team have worked alongside us, taking our feedback into the development of features on their latest generation. It's a relationship we value: conversations from the shop floor can feed back into the bikes we ride and sell.
The range has moved a long way from the Shimano STEPS-powered Jaunt 1 and Jaunt 2 in our original introduction. The latest models bring different Bosch systems, more choice in frame style and battery capacity, and automatic shifting on selected bikes. The aim still feels familiar: make everyday riding simpler and more inviting.
The newer models to know
Jaunt EZ is the easy-going everyday option. Its low step-through frame, 80mm suspension fork and fitted lights, mudguards and carrier make sense for shopping, commuting and getting back into riding. The new Bosch Hub Line system includes throttle support, with a removable 360Wh battery and an optional PowerMore 250 range extender.
Rush takes a sportier approach, with a rigid alloy fork and 700c wheels. It shares the Bosch Hub Line system and 360Wh battery, while Shimano CUES nine-speed gearing and hydraulic disc brakes keep the everyday setup straightforward. This is the one to look at if you prefer an active commuting position.
Force EZ 3 brings full suspension to a step-through frame, with a 540Wh battery. The Force EZ 5 Auto adds an 800Wh battery and Shimano CUES Di2 automatic or electronic manual shifting. Both use Bosch Performance Line Sport assistance. The Force range is worth a look when comfort on uneven roads and cycle trails matters as much as getting across town.
Which Sinch suits your riding?
Start with your route, the hills you ride and how you want the bike to feel. A bigger battery or more suspension isn't automatically the right answer for everyone. We can help you compare the options and choose a size and setup that works for your daily riding.
Availability update, November 2026: these new-generation models are listed for pre-order, with arrival currently estimated for mid-November 2026. Timing may change; check the product pages for the latest details rather than assuming a bike is already on the floor.
