Horwin Electric Motorcycles - Find your free with the ultimate commuter!

Horwin unlocks a new layer of freedom. The freedom to beat the traffic, to go on adventures, to throw away timetables, to travel when you choose, to ride further, to park closer and to ride with zero emissions.

The Horwin range starts at just $5295 (+on road costs of $285) and will change how you travel. These electric step through motorcycles have range of up to 80kms, with the EK1 limited to a top speed of 50km/hr, and the EK3 capable of 90km/hr. Both models come with cruise control and a reverse gear, and are a full sized scooter unlike many imitators from other markets. That means even a big unit like our Vaughan have no problems operating these vehicles with comfort. 

HORWIN EK1 and EK3  are equipped with a removable 36Ah, 72V high voltage intelligent lithium battery. The battery utilises 18650 lithium-ion battery cells, which provide protection against over-charging, discharging, over-voltage, short circuit as well as monitoring the temperature of the batteries.

With a  battery life of around 1000 cycles the battery will last for more than years in most applications.
The charging time of one battery is 4 hours, using the 10A intelligent charger which is included, and you can charge the battery on or off the bike. Perfect for city dwellers.

Changes at Bowater Motors in Motueka.

It’s been a big day at Bowater Motors in Motueka. We went over to chat to Matt about the changeover into a brand new Caltex Station. There are some fantastic advantages like the AA Rewards and Supermarket Fuel Vouchers. Check it out.

Putting the old fashioned service back into service stations.

The top of the South is very much a community focused region. A place where locals feel strongly about their place and what goes on in it.

The Bowater Motor Group has proudly been a part region since 1945 when Raymond Bowater first set up shop in Achilles Ave, central Nelson. We have been part of the local Motueka community since the mid 1960's when the group acquired the old mechanics workshop on the High Street site where Bowater Toyota and Caltex Bowater Motors now proudly stand.

Matt Morris - General Manager

Meet Matt Morris - the General Manager for Z Bowater Motors and the go to guy when it comes to all things to with Z Rutherford and Z Bowater Motors in Motueka. 

Matt started with The Bowater Motor group back in May 2005 as the manager of what was then our Shell Service Station in Motueka. Matt ensures that his whole team is very customer focused with one of his catch cries "The customers pay our wages" heard on nearly a daily basis.

All these years on Matt still enjoys the commute in between the Nelson and Motueka operations and was very happy when the new Ruby Bay bypass went in!

In his downtime Matt enjoys running & keeping fit, and has a taste for craft beers - but not at the same time!
