BillIllawarra, NSW
I bought a Leitner Libelle folding bike one month ago and am very happy with it.
I particularly like the fact that I can get the bike moving to walking pace with the hand throttle, as I am a bit wobbly at the start. Not unusual at my age of 83 years.
The instructions provided on line are very extensive and easy to follow. Assembly was no problem at all. The fact that I can choose several levels of assistance means I can still get as much exercise as I want. My previous male bike was becoming a worry for me as I felt unsafe due to the main bar. Now with the step through my confidence has returned.

Leitner Libelle Folding Bike
I bought a Leitner Libelle Folding Bike with a 16 AH battery around 3 months ago and it arrived well packed and intact. It was easy to put together with not much assembly needed and has performed flawlessly since then. I got the bigger 16AH battery as we live in the hills in the Perth WA Darling Ranges and figured that the extra range would come in handy which has proved to be the case. I was amazed with the speed of delivery and with the quality of the build so would have no hesitation in recommending Leitner to anyone. I'm over 70 with pretty dodgy knees so it enables me to continue to enjoy riding without too much effort.

Lots of fun
Thought about buying electric bikes for a while, researched and looked at a few but when we saw the Leitner bikes we could see that they filled our needs. Other bikes are up to twice the price with no better quality. Delivery was fast, assembly was easy and the bikes are living up to our expectations, or better.

Fantastic Libelle bike
I bought my Libelle in October 2017, so a full 2 years ago. I've ridden it almost daily and have had lots of fun and practical use of it, trouble free.
But I really should have bought something with 26" wheels such as the Venice or Berlin cruisers. I live in a regional area where the roads are often not that good or are unmade. I don't ride on the unmade roads as the smaller, 20" wheels slip much more than with my old, non-electric 26" bike. I didn't realise the smaller wheels would be as limiting for me as they are. :-(
Also, I've only fold...Read more

The customer relations was excellent - thank you Jennifer and Tim .Having lung disease I get breathless upon exertion and I thought my bike riding days were over. not so with this ebike. It is sturdy,reliable and easy to ride due to pedal assist - it is also really good to look at !!!! I love my bike and the fun it gives me - thank you Leitner.

Fits our needs
Received bike 1week ago and it was together and on the road in under 1hr
My wife has a bad hip and I have 1 knee, bone on bone so the bike is excellent for getting us both exercising and when we get the next one we will be ready for trips in the car and exploring on the bikes
Thanks Learner for a great quality package

Very pleased with the bike, delivery was prompt.
All good so far, not had a chance to ride much but intending to get going over the holidays.
When the bike arrived it was missing the small caps that go on the tyres(pressure) when pumped up.
Otherwise, fairly easy assemble and looks to be of good quality. Thanks Leitner.

Fun bike
I’ve had my bike for 5 days. Today a tube blew. That was disappointing. It was not a puncture. My husband found splits in the tube. He repaired both of them but then it went flat again without even riding it.
I will have to get used to riding it as even on low it takes off too fast for me on the pedal assist if I need to corner quickly or am in a very small area. However, I did a great ride to my daughter’s place - all uphill - the other day and it was a breeze. Rode home in the dark which was even more a breeze! I have enjoyed small rides around the area immensely.
It is not a fault of the bike because all the mechanisms work well, but just be informed that some may not find it easy to fold or lift - me being one. I am a 60 y.o female.

Solid & Smooth
Thank you for a great folding bike it arrived the day after I ordered it and was here for my wife’s birthday. Assembled easily under 1 hour and works as advertised. She loves the bike and I will join her when my Tirol, which is in order arrives in October.

Love this solution for my commute
Ride the 5 Km each way a day to work, charge at my desk, get there faster than with car, no parking costs and save on petrol and wear and tear in the car (as a bonus I lost a few kg along the way and arrive fresh, stretched and not sweaty at all!). The Leitner was chosen after a thorough look at the market and has lived up to my expectations of an affordable reliable solution that could be folded into wife's car when it rains and I need a lift.

Broken after 2 rides, the quality is not so good ! Doesn't match with the description, and too heavy. The quality is just poor.

Great bike!
I tried other brands of folding bikes and found them awkward to ride. The libelle is fantastic.
Excellent quality and easy to assemble
Have since bought a Tirol folding bike for my husband as well
Going to use them for caravan trips
Great customer service and advice on phone!
Well worth the money

ebike has great battery.
I shopped around for an ebike and decided on Leitner because other cheaper ebikes don´t offer warranty on their battery. I bought a step through model for my parents who are 70 years of age but I end up using it mostly. It is great for trips to shops and hospital. I ride it everyday and most impressed with the battery life. I been on 30km rides and it doesn´t show a dint on the battery indicator. My gripe is I can´t remove battery by hand because it is so tight, I need to use a flat head screw driver to wiggle it and loosen it at the bottom bef...Read more
ore I can pull it out. Being able to remove the battery with ease is an important feature for me because it makes the bike lighter to fold and lift into boot of car. My mum is not confident with riding it because she is 152cm tall and concerned about balance. Perhaps Leitner can sell optional adult training wheels for older riders. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and experience with Leitner sales service. Very fast delivery to Sydney.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
A sheer delight and companion
I have "test-driven" my Leitner bike now over many months and hundreds of kilometres. It is the small step-thru Libelle in deference to a hip replacement ....easy onto and easy for feet onto ground at stops. It is a delight to ride and a close examination reveals the build quality to be tops. And thanks for excellent Leitner support and back-up (no waiting for expensive parts from over-seas!)............a new spoke was dispatched to me, gratis, five minutes after I ordered it!
Over-all a very happy and money-for-value experience for my first big online experience !!!

AMAZING BIKE
Our two bikes arrived from Melbourne to Canberra 48 hours after ordering. The service we received truly amazing and helpful. My husband found it easy to put together. We have been for our first ride and found them easy to work out how to use. The quality is exceptional. Looking forward to lots of riding ahead. THANK YOU.

ike then turn on assist as needed. Don’t have to walk bike up hills any more!!! September 6th 2018 Update: Great value for money spent We have had so much fun on these bikes. No more pushing bikes up steep hills. Still getting good exercise as you have to pedal so only use low assist most of the time. Put on high assist and they really fly!! Easy to ride as a normal bike too. Goes at least 40-50 kms with charge Haven’t tested it further yet. Absolutely wonderful bike.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Leitner E.Leitner
Hi, Thanks for your message. All our folding bikes weighs around 24kg including the battery. There are two types of batteries available, 10Ah or 16Ah. 10Ah battery will give you a range of up to 20-50km and 16Ah battery will give you up to 32-80km. This figure depends on the weight of the rider, condition of the road and amount of assistance you required. For example, when pedalling with PAS, the bike can go up to 50km on a flat terrain with a 70kg rider pedalling with low-medium assist. If the rider is heavier, if there are hills and if you use high assistance, the range will reduced. If you have more questions, please feel free to contact us on 1300 856 725 to discuss further. Thanks!

I bought the bike from the previous owner who've just bought the bike for more than 1 month(she said so!).
