All expectations met
I spent over 12 months researching whether I should purchase an eBike and if so, from whom. I had quite a list of questions relative to my personal needs and wanted to try them all. I finally settled on a Leitner Libelle foldable bike and have really enjoyed it over since receiving it a couple of weeks ago.
So far it has proved to be exactly as quoted in descriptions, discussions with Ephraem from Leitner, and a local owner I spoke with. What else can I say but, again, after 2+ weeks I am entirely happy.

Bike and I got up to the lighthouse in byron bay after midnight, full moon and no one else except wallabies, that road has 30 degree slopes and im 60 with a bad ticker. thanks for that memory lietner. The bike gave me the ability to go places I dont think I would have liked to tackle when I was a young tacker. Plus, im always having to go to the doctors and pay $20 parking, now I park a few k's away, unfold the bike and ride right up to the hospital front door, yay!

What a great company and product
I ordered the bike on Monday and got it on Wednesday at 2PM. BY 2:40PM I was out riding it! So easy to assemble. I live in a very hilly area with some hills impossible even when I was fit (which I am not now). I just set it on "2" and rode up a very steep hill easily! I love the assist, that comes in so predictably, stops as soon as you stop peddling and has the option for no assist. On "1" I still got a work out, which is what I wanted. The front suspension is very good and the finish of the bike is excellent. I went for the 80km battery so I think I will be working towards some long rides in the future!
Thanks so much for a well engineered bike and a great service!

Best bike ever
Arrive quickly and no damage took my husband about 1hour to put together but he was being extra careful. Charged the battery and off I went didn't want to come home it was so nice to ride will be great to take in the motor home, as we don't tow a car the bike will come in handy to get around and go shopping and site seeing

Now proud owners of 2 Libelles
We purchased our first Leitner Libelle quite a few months ago after spending a lot of time looking into different types of folding E-Bikes. We travel a lot and needed a second method of getting around when the motorhome is parked up with the annexe out. The Libelle was just what we needed and we have been so impressed with it that we have now bought Libelle number 2. Excellent quality, easy assembly and great to ride. We really couldn't be happier with these bikes.

Brilliant!
I received the Libelle on Friday. It came across the Nulubor on a truck.
The packaging of the bike was 1st class, everything was padded and taped in a strong cardboard box.
Putting the bike together was easy.
The finishing on the bike was top notch, believe me, I looked.
Saturday I went for a ride around the block. Loved it!
So far 5 stars and 2 thumbs up.

These bikes get my wife and myself exercising again
Fast delivery, easy to put together and we are off riding together....thank you. We hope to get a little fitter than we are. Bikes look great, easy to operate, We like the folding pedals, extra generous seat and how quick charging is after extended use. We would recommend these bikes to friends and family.

Out and about again
Like many folk I got a bit older and having fell off my conventional bike one too many times I gave cycling away BUT MISSED IT! When I saw the price of Leitner e-bikes I thought Maybe? And I did. I wouldn't say I have a new lease on life but its got a lot better to be out on the road with the wind in my face again. The finish and quality is excellent and already I have had people stop me to talk about it - the bike not my new lease on life. Looking forward to many miles of E-asier bike riding days.

Well its been a number of weeks now and my views have not changed, I have put an after-market speedometer on my bike and regularly find that the motor speeds me along to the advertised 25kmph. Some da... Read more
ys I just settle for second gear(electric) and cruise at 15kmph. The fold up bikes only have 20inch wheels and any faster I think for older folk like myself is a little precarious - I did do 45kmph down one hill and thought okay that's fast enough! I also added a mirror as looking behind me at top speed was difficult. Mentally it has taken 20 years of my age - free again - physically I am getting moderate exercise and enjoying every minute of it - I never did like gyms - and I don't feel as guilty watching a little TV in the evenings. I think in years to come a sensible family will have only one car and an electric bike each for dad and the kids. Happy E-Riding Jasmine WASimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Wonderful
I have sciatica and arthritis and find it difficult too walk far, therefore not getting the exercise I need. I bought the Libelle a couple of months ago and what a delight it is. I can now go out riding with my husband without the fear of my leg giving way. All I have to do is turn on the power and away I go. I haven't ridden a bike for over 50 years but soon got used to it. I would recommend this to everyone, practical and fun.

I have now had the bike 6 weeks and am unable to fault it. On holidays it allows me to leave the car at the campsite and ride into town for the paper etc. Did not realize there was so many great bike tracks. Only problem is that Grandmar Hoon now wants one so more expense. Store it folded up in the back of my Mitsy Triton and take it everywhere..

Exciting times ahead
After a couple of days of researching electric bikes online I decided on Leitner. I spoke with Ephraem after paying online who was very helpful and good to see him dealing directly with customers and their queries. Hubby put them together without reading the manual, with ease, but will look at the manual to double check. Well written manual as well. Awesome, now looking forward to ride them. After riding these bikes must say the seat is so comfy, best one I have ever had on a bike, easy to ride and love it, have even talked friends into buying one

It's great to get on two wheels again - eBike style!
Hi Ephraem,
After researching eBikes in several bike shops and at on line outlets, I'm very satisfied I finally settled with Leitner eBikes.
Thanks so much for the prompt service you gave. I'm now the happy owner of a Leitner Libelle electric bike.
Here's why;
* My bike was ordered late afternoon on MONDAY, 19 October 2015. Bank transfer payment was made and confirmed the next day, TUESDAY.
* The securely boxed Leitner eBike was lodged by your team with the road freight company also that TUESDAY.
* Three days later, on FRIDAY aftern...Read more

This bike has changed my life
After my husbands' car went to the great scrap heap in the sky we had to decide if our family could become a one car family. We were really keen to try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and we decided I could commute on an eBike. Work is 12 kms away with some nasty suburban hills and there are some very busy roads to deal with.
Having researched for a few days we placed an order and I am now riding to work after having not been a bike commuter for 20 years.
The eBike means I can take a slightly longer route via safer bike paths and it tack...Read more

At last a bike that fits.
My wife is just over the 5 ft. mark as a lot of ladies will be.
The problem in searching for a bike has been the distance from the saddle to the ground. Also being small the height of the step through is crucial in maintaining stability.
We eventually found the- 20" folding step through - that comes with a very gutsy Lithium Battery.
It is very well made, and comes with lights, battery power indicator and charging cables, a nice stand and a very strong rear steel rack and front and rear mudguards...quality all the way.
One of the most i...Read more
mportant aspects of the bike for a smaller person as well as any one else for that matter is its low centre of gravity for ultimate control; which is crucial for manoeuvreability as well as mounting and dismounting safely. For all that the bike offers the price of around the $1000- mark was excellent as was the service from Ephraim in answering all our questions and providing prompt, safe delivery once the decision to buy was made. Needless to say my wife is delighted.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!).
My way to school is 5.8km! I ride mostly with high assistant mode! The bike run out of battery everyday! How can I check the battery wearing level?
