Leitner E Bike
I recently just purchased the Venice cruiser and the Cross X bike from Leitner. This is mine and my wife's first ever electric bicycle. Can I just say after looking at afew different e bikes, the Leitner CrossX and Venice cruiser ticked al I'll the boxes for us. We put a child seat on the back for our daughter and we were off.
Tim from Leitner has also been amazing in helping us set up our bikes and answering all of my questions. So thank you Tim.
The bikes are so easy to ride, the pedal assist makies biking a breeze. Honestly I have not even broken a sweat yet lol. I would highly recommend Leitner to anyone.
Thanks
Colin

Good balanced bike
I purchased two Leitner bikes - a Berlin (26 inch wheel) and a Tirol (folding 20 inch wheel).
I believe that the motor is unchanged for both models - it hasn't been recalibrated for different sized wheels. As a result, it provides less torque (ie. assistance) on the Berlin with the bigger wheels. The choice of gearing for the Berlin is quite balanced for a commuter bike - it's not often I need a shorter or lower gear.
As a result, the Berlin rides like an assisted normal bike - you will usually need to pedal the bike.
The Berlin is mor...Read more
e adjustable and will fit a broader range of body sizes than the folding versions. Leitner sent me a complimentary replacement part to fix the plate on which the centre stand is affixed when it broke, albeit after some email correspondence.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Simply a really good e bike
Bike received today, exactly on time. Having read the manual the assembly was very straightforward. Quality of the parts was very good as well
My first E-bike, I hadn't even ridden one before this, far more power than I expected it flattened the hills around here
Can Recommend this E-bike

Leitner Straight Bar Electric Bike
Excellent investment l must say, and the PAC on hills is the best when l see others struggle, This would have to be my first electric bike l have ever own and no doubt the best, have not use the gear change as yet and is still set on 6 gear no need to when it does all the work.
Well done to the Team in Melbourne

Best bike I have ever had.
So easy to put together.
It gets me to work and home without taking all my energy, 15kms each way even the head winds don't bother me now. I am loving it so much that I bike everywhere I go even on my days off. It's such a dream machine. Well never go back to just pedal power. It is heavier than a push bike but this is only a problem in top gear setting off from the lights, so just drop a few gears before you stop.

Excellence at a Bargain Price!
Performance, price and precision, what more can you expect? The Leitner Berlins (2) I purchased have performed perfectly. When supplied, they were very well packed to sustain the rough an tumble of shipping, and supplied with clear and detailed full colour instructions to ensure correct assembly of the bikes.
Once assembled, and with the battery pack installed, we were off! What a dream to ride! Once the tyres were pressured to the recommended pressures and the handle bars and saddle were adjusted for each individual rider, the bikes wer...Read more

This could be life changing.
Loving the new toy! 25 years ago I would regularly ride 40km, twice a week. Two years ago, I could not get twice around the block! Today, on this little toy... 2 * 8km trips without any real effort. Looking forward to making a run into Wonthaggi some day soon ( 60+km return trip). The bike arrived as described, with minimal assembly required. It only took me 2 cups of coffee to complete. Once I got to my friend's place, 4km from home, I had to re-tighten the handle bar stem, and again when I got home. I found, to get it really tight, I needed t...Read more
o add an extension handle on Allen key to get it properly tightened. In saying this... I often have troubles with tap handles and need assistance opening jam jars. I think I have sold a similar bike to a mate today....never know LOL. I was very surprised at the way this little machine got me up a couple of rises on the coastal walk here. looking forward to trying it on a real hill soon. I don't think it will let me down. I looked at several more expensive e-bikes before buying the Leitner Berlin and think that, value for money, this has got to be a winner. Of course, one needs to consider longevity ( far too early to say ) but I am confident, with proper care, this 'toy' will prove to be aa survivor. Given that I have both physical and mental health problems, giving me the opportunity to get out of the house, could be life changing. ThanksSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Freedom to ride
Leitner staff have been most helpful during the ordering and delivery processes. The product more than meets my expectations; and all that for less than half the price of other comparable ebikes. I am 70 years of age with arthritic knees - one has been replaced - and it is great to be back in the saddle with prospects of the greater fitness and health that will come in time. Thank you to the Leitner team.

Best investment I have made in a long time
After weeks of research on adding a motor to my bike I come across e bikes I was very unsure of the reliability but sounded much cleaner safer & cheaper than using petrol I decided to go for the berlin cruiser and have never looked back this bike is the best investment I have made in a long time it is a dream to ride so comfortable and smooth I would recommend this bike with a 5 star rating

Five stars!!!
Love this bike, I'm 128kg and this thing takes me anywhere. I love it.
I've adjusted the seat and handlebars many times and everything works perfect, I would definitely recommend this bike for someone that wants to get to work easily or someone that is a bit older.

Best E bike on the Market.
I have had the Berlin Cruiser model (blue) now for a month. This is a wonderful machine to ride at a great price. I have been riding ordinary bikes for over 50 years and this has totally renewed my pleasure in riding (i'm 62). It is easy to assemble (if you take your time). The pedal assist is great as it allows you to do as much or as little work as you want. I liked the bike so much that I bought the Venice Cruiser (red) for my partner using the $50 voucher that came with my first bike. Both are very comfortable and practical. The bikes both have beautiful paint work and look better than the photos.

Best buy ever
It's great. I live in a hilly area and have a bung knee and this bike is perfect. I can get up hills which I really couldn't do before and yet I am able to get exercise as i ride. If you are thinking of getting an electric bike and you're looking at Lietners prices and thinking if other bikes are 4 or 5 grand then these must be crap, rest assured. These are excellent and cheap. Rare but true.

Leitner Berlin Cruiser
I live in hilly Central Victoria. I love to ride but I haven't been riding my lightweight mountain bike and my even lighter road bike because I'd have to get off on some of the hills to walk it up. This Leitner Berlin Cruiser has changed all that - I've been to town (8.3 Kms away) each day and have already worked out my excuse for going in again tomorrow. Hills - no problem, hills and head wind - still no problem. Everything about this bike is quality- the gears are easy and it's a comfortable ride. This company under promises and over delivers. The bike compares favorably with bikes I looked at 3 times the price. Sales are infinitely patient and offer excellent service.

The LEITNER Berlin and Milan electric bikes.
Since January 2017 my partner and I have ridden 2200km combined total on our Berlin and Milan models. Our impressions reflect all the accolades recorded by other reviewers including build quality, price, excellent service and support from LEITNER, ease of assembly as so on. Great value for money. We would have liked a couple of higher gears and more of an angle on the kickstand when parking on a downslope, but we are very happy overall. A few suggestions: use the walk speed assist (red button on right grip) when pushing the bike up unrideable...Read more
gravel hills and when starting off when you have forgotten to gear down before stopping; use Castrol Motorcycle chain lube rather than oil for the chain since it does not sling off and coat the rims. At 78 and 67 years old we ride five days per week on very hilly rural roads and the bikes have never let us down. We would recommend these bikes to people of any age.Similar opinion?

Great Bike,had it around Three Months, able to Ride without any problems
Due to my Right knee I was pretty limited how far I could go on a normal Bike and walk about 4 K. Now i ride around 10 to 20K, or more with no problems. There are some fairly steep hills around here which surprised me how well it i goes up some of them. Had a Problem with the Front Wheel Axle when I first got it, Leitner Posted a complete new Wheel within a week. Cant speak highly enough of them.

Berlin Cruiser
I received the Berlin bike yesterday in good condition. I was pleased that much of the bike was pre-assembled and it only took a couple of hours to put it all together. The manual was very helpful. The hardest part was the front mudguard! The accessories were good. It looks great I took it for a test drive and was impressed with how well it ran. I've ordered a $10 wireless computer for it (I had one before and it worked fine). I'm looking forward to many kilometres on it!

Great purchase
I was concerned buying an unseen bike online and was a bit intimidated when receiving the 91 page manual as it looked extremely complex. I couldn't be further from the truth. The bike arrived on time and was easy to put together. Riding it is a breeze - I love using it on maximum power. Would recommend to anyone!

Battery life and charging time as well as top speed and range?
3 answers
Leitner E.Leitner
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!
Regards,
Leitner team
Hi Mike
So the top speed is set to 25 kmph and it feels like it, in that it holds its own, I find myself overtaking on the rail trail (mostly the mountain bikes) but not so much the road bikes, I elected for the 16Ah battery and took it on a 45 km ride and it nailed it!. and I could have gone further. My body didn;tt want to continue. I average about 20 km per ride and I can get 3 rides before charging it. If I am dong a long ride I will set on the mid range (which is about 15 kmph) and just cruise but for the 20 km rides I go max speed. It was one of the better bikes on the market for the price and that is why I chose it. It usually takes about 2-3 hours to charge from not a fully flat battery. I like my bike and have really enjoyed riding it.
