Hi Mike,
Thanks for your message.
Battery life is claimed to be 500 fully charged cycles based on good maintenance. It takes around 5-6 hours to fully charge a depleted battery. Top speed is 25km/hr.
10Ah battery will give you a range between 20-50km and 16Ah battery will give you about 32-80km. For more information about our bikes and to discuss which bike suits you, please give us a call on 1300 856 725 or send us an email at [email protected] . Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi Philip,
Thanks for answering this question with your experience with Leitner eBikes. I'm glad to hear you're still enjoying the rides! Thanks, Leitner team.

Hi Dan, Thanks for your message. There are a number of customers who have successfully installed child seat on the rear of the Venice Cruiser and Berlin Cruiser. Bear in mind that the total allowable capacity of the bike is 120kg including rider, passenger and racks/carriers. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us on 1300 856 725 or email at [email protected] . Thank you!

Hi, thanks for your message. It is comparably a lot harder to ride the bike without battery power due to the resistance from the motor and the weight of the bike. We do recommend to at least use low PAS mode during your rides. Hope this helps. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us on 1300 856 725 to discuss further. Thank you!

Hi gmfishon,

All of the eBikes purchased through our USA store will be able to plug into standard household outlets (American plugs).

All the best,

Thanks for your helpful reply Jason, you are absolutely correct. This straight bar eBike (Berlin Cruiser) has front suspension only.
@Mike P. : We do have a 26" Straight Bar eBike with dual suspension in our range! The CrossX Mountain eBike : https://www.leitner.com.au/electric-mountain-bike-dual-suspension-leitner-crossx.html
These models have the XOFO Brushless Geared motors with 250W power and a 36V voltage.
I hope this helps!

Thanks for answering this one for me Steve! Not only is it greatly appreciated, it's also 100% correct as well!

Hi Ram, the tyres are sturdy however not puncture proof. As mentioned above you can use third party products like sealant fluid, strips or even purchase puncture resistant tyres. Regarding inflating wheels at fuel stations: it is recommended to only inflate tyres with a dedicated bicycle tyre pump available for purchase at your local store. Air pressure pumps at fuel stations are primarily designed for cars and can damage bicycle tubes.

Hi thanks for your question. If you want to use the Pedal Assist function (which is where the motor engages to help you pedal) then yes you need to keep pedalling. You can have the assist set on High, Medium, Low or Off and you can go as fast as you can cycle. There is also the option to just use the throttle (no pedalling required), which comes speed-limited to 6km/h but can be unlocked to reach 25km/h for offroad use. The more you rely on the motor and the less effort you put in pedalling, then the faster the stored battery energy will deplete and so in turn your maximum range will reduce. The road bikes have the option of upgraded batteries for an additional $250 at the time of purchase that offer some 60% greater range Thanks Tim@Leitner ebikes

Dear Fran,
Thanks for your message.
We do not have shops or showroom as we are an online retailer. However, we do have a number of volunteer ambassador, who volunteers to show their bikes to potential customers at their own time. Please note that they are volunteers only, not a shop. You can find if there is an ambassador near you on our website at https://www.leitner.com.au/shops/ . Their details are listed on the website. We recommend to only test message or email them. I hope this helps. If you have any questions about our product or would like to discuss further in choosing the right bike, please contact us on 1300 856 725 or via email at [email protected]
Thank you!

Hi Hayley,
thank you for your message. Your can certainly ride your Leitner bike to work and then ride it back 8 hours later. The time needed to do a 10km ride depends on many factors, e.g. hills and traffic lights. Google maps has a handy tool to estimate travel times by bike. As Leitner bikes are electric, it will make the ride much easier as compared to riding a pushbike. I hope this information helps.
