Detailed Information

Overview

The Wildsyde Shadow, built to the exact same power and electronic specifications as the Hunni Bunni and Beast, is a real cool customer around town!


 A vintage styled beach cruiser, emulating the look of a classic motorcycle with the high centre mounted ‘gas’ tank, 2.35” wide balloon tires and swept back cruiser style handlebars has the power of The Beast, but with seriously distinctive looks. The matching front & rear full fenders and rear bike rack, complemented by the distinctive leather-look handlebar grips, saddle & tyres provide stylish contrasting detailing & a touch of luxury.


The powerful rear hub motor generating 81Nm of torque effortlessly powers up to a max speed of 35kmh, while the hydraulic disc brakes have no problems pulling on the reins and bringing this guy to a halt. It has 5 levels of Pedal Assist (PAS) or power zones to get you up to speed while getting the legs and heart moving - but if you want to just kick back and relax, the thumb throttle will allow you to do just that. If you really want to maximise your range and put some in serious pedalling, the 7 speed Shimano shifter with the massive 14-34 tooth megarange rear cassette will make climbing hills a little easier - when you get to the of the hill, you can change up to a hard gear and start picking up the pace. 


The classic 2.35” wide Schwalbe Frank Frank tyres make for a cushy and comfortable ride while being lighter, nimbler and more manoeuverable than the wider tyres used on the Beast. The Wildsyde Shadow is truly versatile - not only can you use it for moving around quickly and efficiently, avoiding traffic congestion and parking hassles, but you can also use it to haul your toys. Whether loading up the rack and optional pannier baskets with your sports equipment, groceries or market day goodies, heading to the beach with your surfboard or a night out on the town with friends, the Shadow will make it fun, enjoyable and put a big smile on your face.


With a top speed of 35kmh, an electric bike can take time off your commute, especially in heavy rush hour traffic. The throttle and effective PAS system helps you maintain speed without breaking a sweat, so you can show up at the office, a meeting or the destination of your choice feeling fresh, calm, collected and ready to roll into whatever life brings you. Like all Wildsyde electric bikes, having a battery is eco-friendly, reducing your dependency on the car and helping to minimise the use of fossil fuels. Think of the money you could save in gas and parking fees.  


For some people, riding an eBike simply goes against their belief that you should work hard when you are on a bike. Fair enough, but we like to think life is not always about grinding up the backside of a mountain, and sometimes you just want to take things easy and enjoy time in the saddle. There are hundreds of electric bikes out there, many of them very utilitarian in their appearance, boring and run of the mill. Wildsyde electric bikes are anything but - they are different, stylish and way more than just cool. Our bikes take you back to a time in your life, when riding a bike was fun, not a chore. We bring the inner child out in you again, take you back to your youth and compliment that young at heart lifestyle you choose to live.

FAQs

How Fast Do These Babies Go?

With the throttle wide open or pedalling to the max on a flat road, you’ll be cruising up to ~35kph. On downhills, with the wind at your back, it’s likely you can go significantly faster—good thing our bikes are built with big, sturdy brakes to slow you down in a hurry!

 

Are they easy to ride?

Wildsyde bikes are unique in the electric bike market in that our bikes are built with ease in mind. We're a group of die-hard cyclists that love pedalling our bikes, but when we want to cruise, we really want to cruise, so the Wildsyde bikes are designed for comfort and require minimal effort to ride, whether pedalling or using the throttle.

 

Should I wear a helmet when riding a bike?

Under NZ law you are always required to wear a helmet while riding any kind of bicycle, including e-bikes.

 

How far can I go?

The new 2021 model with upgraded battery can easily achieve 63km+ on one charge and we are being conservative. Too many ebike companies overestimate their ranges. Of course that distance is going to depend on how much you let the bike do the work—how often you use the throttle, at what level you set the pedal assist, and the usual environmental factors of a bike ride (body weight & size, changes in elevation, direction of the wind).

 

Can I ride it in the rain? What about the snow?

Wildsyde bikes can withstand rain and snow. The new long fenders on the 2021 models will help reduce but not eliminate the tyre spray. The Beast’s tyres can get you where you want to go even when there’s snow on the ground, but it’s always good to use caution and take it slow in the turns!

 

How much can I carry on the bike?

Wildsyde bikes are built strong & sturdy. Our accessory racks have a recommended weight limit of 25kg or 55lbs.

 

How long do they take to charge?

They will fully charge overnight, about 7-8 hours depending how depleted the battery was.

 

How many Watt Hours (Wh) does my battery have?

That depends on what the wattage and amp hours are. For example a 36v 15ah battery will have 540watt hours. (36v x 15ah=540wh). The bigger the Watt Hours, the longer the range.

 

Should I get the wide tires or narrow tires?

It depends on what you like! Some riders prefer the easy, lighter handling that comes with the narrower tires. Others love the versatility the wider tires offer, since they handle best off-road on sand, dirt, and snow.

 

Can I ride it on a bike path?

Yes, unless otherwise specified by the local municipality, your class e-bike can be ridden on a bike path.

 

Do the bikes come with lights?

Yes all Wildsyde bikes have factory fitted, hard wired front and rear LED lights. The rear light even has a brake light installed. Pull the brake lever and the rear light comes on.

 

Do I have to remove the battery to charge it?

No. On the Beast, Shadow and Hunni Bunni there is an external charging port under the tank towards the seat downtube. Simply plug the charger into this and you are good to go. You will find the charging port on the Paree and Roam on the side of the battery casing.

 

Can I remove the battery to charge it at work or at home?

Yes, simply unlock the battery tank, undo the Velcro straps, remove the controller cable and external charging port cable and take it with you.

 

How many charges will I get from my battery?

Generally speaking in the region of 500 charges before experiencing a decline in performance, at 800 charges you’ll likely be needing a new battery… that’s about ~4800km.

 

Can I charge my phone from the battery?

Yes, you actually can… indirectly though. The King Metre display has a USB charging port on the side or front. Turn off the bike, plug the cable into the USB port and turn on the bike. Now you are charging.

 

What’s the best way to transport my bike by car?

If you don’t have a pick up truck or van, you will likely need a rear hitch mounted bike rack where the bike sits on its wheels in a trough. We recommend heavy duty e-bike specific racks, there are a number of suppliers.

 

Where do you ship?

Throughout mainland New Zealand. Shipping to outer islands such as Stewart Island and Chatham Islands can be arranged for an extra cost upon request.

I never thought I would love it so much!

My wife convinced me to look at an electric bike for cruising around the trails of Boulder County, and I have to admit I wasn't sure I needed it as I already had a really nice full suspension bike that I enjoyed riding But the first time I got on my new Wildsyde Shadow and used the pedal assist to zoom up the inclines on the trails near our house, I was IN LOVE! I take my Shadow out almost every day and I look forward to riding it when I am working! Its like having a magic "return me home" button for bike rides. No longer do I have to worry about getting tired riding and then slogging myself back home. I can choose to work hard when I want to, and then kick in the pedal-asssist and let the Shadow do the work. Or I can explore all kinds of new trails and then hop in the bike lane and zoom home at almost car traffic speed! Its almost better than riding a motorcycle, because you have the freedom of power assist, but the flexibility to ride trails and avoid traffic! AND THE LOOKS I GET! Everyone loves the cool retro look of my bike and wants to know what it is. Overall, best decision I ever made!

Having fun again!

I’ve only had my Shadow for a couple of weeks but wow I love it. I chose to go with a pedal assist as we needed these for our time in Colorado, not much flat ground where we ride. I have been out 5 times, taking routes I would never have been able to ride on a regular bike. Just being able to see more with the expanded range is terrific. I can assure you if you do in fact pedal, you will still get a workout. The style is super cool, the quality is also top notch and customer service is very professional and efficient. Basically when I park my ride, I’m already planning my next trip. I highly recommend the Shadow.

Making biking fun again

I'm really enjoying my Shadow. Love the pedal assist, it's making it much easier for me to keep up with my wife who does triathlons for fun. The bike has made it much more enjoyable to go on long rides with the family. Really love the way the gears are set up on this bike. Smooth shifting and easy to use. The Wildsyde team has been extremely helpful. Glad to see a company that stands behind its product.

Powerful and Fun

The Shadow rides smoothly and has no problem going up hills. Even steep ones. The pedal assist works amazingly well. The design is awesome. So many compliments on the styling. And the battery life is so much better than I anticipated. The components are quality. I've spoken to Paul a few times and he's very helpful and enjoyable to chat with. I like supporting a local Colorado company as well. Great e-bike!. It's that simple.

Fun for the entire family

Can’t believe we only have two of these bikes for a family of five! Our three teenagers would rather ride than drive!
