What a lovely machine.
This is a beautiful machine. It arrived at the 21st. I assambled it the very afternoon. No trouble at all. Some minor adjustments needed to be done. Unfortunately I could not test it, exept in my garage, as it has been absolutely pouring all day. I will wait for the rain to stop. Maybe tomorrow. Sofar it performed exactly as Mr. Leitner ment it to do. I can highly recommend his ebikes to any one looking for a quality product. Five stars seem not enough for this beauty. W.H.

If you’re over 55 you need to read this!!!
Bought my wife a super T, I assembled it in 40 mins, put my helmet on & took off !!! I was really impressed with the build quality & the performance! Returned from my ride & immediately ordered a super T for myself, it arrived the next day( amazing). Leitner is a trustworthy & Professionaly run company! I put a lot of time and research into these bikes, for the money nothing comes close to these bikes, we ride them everywhere and never raise a sweat, you will not be disappointed !
Two very happy customers, thanks Ephriam & the team!

What a great bike
A bought a super T folding ebike bike so that I may take it away on holidays or on a weekend ride. It is beautifully made and easy to assemble of which there is little. It takes a little getting used to balancing the throttle against the mode settings but once you have it is a dream. I live on the top of a hill and it is so nice to get a little help on the way home after a long ride

Highly recommended! Go for it!
Well built bike. Good looking bike. Great service from staff...every inquiry answered (and I had lots of questions! Haha). Excellent delivery time. Easy and quick to assemble. Didn’t take long to adjust to working the gears, power assist mode or throttle. A joy to ride. Well worth the 5 star rating every one is giving it.

My first ebike!
My husband bought me this ebike in Nov 17 as he wanted me to go riding with him as he is an avid mountain bike fan. He can go for hours but I am not so enthusiastic. However, I must say with the throttle and power assist, I just happily cruise along behind him peddling when I want or just cruising when I am tired. Full throttle on the hills is a definite must for me and it never disappoints. The only thing I would do a little different is I would get a Leitner with larger wheels as this bike has little wheels which makes it slower and hard to keep up sometimes, when I actually do want to peddle. However, no complaints with Leitner - would just make a different choice next time.

Excellent bike and post-sale
I am using my Super-T for 17 months, and in the past 9 months I am riding 30km per day, 5 days per week and this bike proved be really strong and realiable. I had broke some strokes and Leitner sent them to me for free. I highly recommend Leitner bikes.

So much joy
Bought two 20 inch Super T Leitner folding bikes for my wife and myself and have been so happy with them . Dealing with Ephraem was apleasure and he responded quickly and professionally to all my E mails. May i also mention that my Schnauzer loves sitting in the back on our long bike rides. I am seriously looking at buying a 24inch or a 26inch leitner bike later on in the future. Congratulations To Ephraem on a great product. If i was to be very very picky i would say that maybe a mirror could be integrated with the bike, other than that all is good and i highly recommend Lietner bikes and value for money.

This has put the 'FUN" back into Biking for us retirees
Within the first few rides on our new Leitner e-bikes, my wife and I knew we had found the perfect answer to our bicycling blues and old age handicap. More so, was the intuitive ease in using them considering we had never used an e-bike before. Another bonus point was the ease and speed (express post) of a replacing a part under warranty this week. We also picked the folding version to put in our car boot instead of messing around with a car or caravan carry racks. Can't wait for our next caravan club rally.

Clicked order, two day delivery...wow...
Bit apprehensive at first about building a bike from scratch...

joined in and we now have one each. Spoke to Ephraem on which way to go and we decided I get the new Super T with the up graded battery and 80 k range as I go off alot further than I ever thought I would... Without having to stand up in the saddle for hills etc you will be amazed on how far you actually ride off so if you are thinking of getting an e bike I would give the extra klm range some thought...??? Didn't think I would need it but glad I have got it now. Also, delivery...great again,ordered Friday arvo and got it the next Tuesday morning, put it together and I buggered up the seat post clamp, emailed Ephraem, no questions asked, sent out a new one express post the next day no charge, even included a spare post...!!! Lesson learned, check all the nuts and bolts before ya just jump on and go... These bikes are great for us two in the 60 plus years, just like being a kid again... vik...Similar opinion?

Quality, both in build and performance
Took a gamble and ordered two Super T's . They arrived as stated, took about an hour to assemble and an hour to charge the batteries ( come partially charged). Took it for a spin and was pleasantly surprised by the comfortable ride and performance. Full marks to Ephraem Leitner for a good and reasonably priced product.

Very happy. Does exactly what it says on the box
The box arrived within a few days of ordering. Be careful cutting the cable ties when unpacking the bike as we managed to mark some of the paint on the frame when carefully cutting through the ties.
We have cycled through several charges now and are very satisfied. The seat is comfortable even on our 20" model. It folds very easily and fits in the boot. On one occasion we also carried it in the cargo hold of a coach. It is easily unlocked to get max throttle and on level ground the bike can go faster than you can peddle. I see the advantage i...Read more

Great after sales service!
We are very happy with our 2 Leitner electric bikes! We thought it would be a great way to exercise, but didn't realise just how much fun it would be as well. When needing a small replacement part, the team were prompt, courteous and couldn't have been more helpful. Both the bikes and after sales service are great and we would definitely recommend this brand to others.

So. Much. Fun! - Great product!
Firstly, ordering and getting one is super easy online. The box arrives (or you pick the bike up) well packed in easy to remove 'chunks'. The instructions to put the very few parts needing assembly together is easy-peasy and in minutes you're staring at your very own Leitner Super T bike. We have ridden our bikes from campgrounds to wineries (and back) and they have allowed us the joy of being back on a bike again without the fear of re-injuring tendons, etc. Hill looks too big? No problem - click the battery up a notch and pedal just a li...Read more
ttle with very little effort and the bike just zooms up the hill. Want to work off some calories? No problem - click the battery down a notch or two and ride the bike as you would any other. Superb. Great customer service is available if you need it. Can't say enough about these bikes.1 comment

Unbelievable considering cost.
2 x Super T arrived at 10 am. While assembling the batteries were charging. By 2 pm we were test riding on tarmac, gravel and thru the paddock! I have spent 12 months researching ebikes, attended show and tell talks, and looked at $5000 bikes to kits for $900. Why the Leitner Super T? It ticked all the boxes. Suspension front and rear, wide tyres, comfortable seat, disc brake, PAS and throttle, stainless steel spokes, 36v 250w motor were important as we wish to travel tracks photographing native orchids. Bonus is it folds so can carry insid...Read more
e the caravan. For us mid to late 60 year olds the package is complete and offered us a lifestyle we could not accomplish with our normal bikes. The packaging was as good as the bike as one box arrived crunched, however the contents were undamaged. I simply cannot believe how good these bikes are. Thrilled is an understatement. I am mobile again thanks to Leitner.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great product
Looks and rides great.Takes the effort out of my comute to work and makes the hills on the way less daunting. The package is easy to assemble given that all the tricky stuff is already and you are up and riding in a very short time.
I will be glad when winter is gone to enjoy my ride even more

Great bike but some issues
The bike is great, I use it to go to uni every week and it makes my hilly territory a lot more manageable.
However I find it almost impossible to remove the battery. There is a lock and sliding mechanism the battery uses, but I think the machining on my particular bike was very tight, as it is an ordeal every time to remove it.
The first time I tried I had to call up Leitner as I thought there was a fault, but eventually I managed to remove it. Was told this issue will go away with time, but so far it has not.
For example, I can easily...Read more
lift the entire weight of the bicycle using the battery's handle, and even holding down the bike I often have to give up before removing it. Would still recommend the bike for it's price point, but I'm not sure how I would handle it if I were a senior.2 comments
I've been contacted by Leitner who have said they are going to send me a replacement rail for the battery. Their customer service is definitely fantastic.

Our new bikes are a great investment. As a caravaner the fold up version fits into the van perfectly. The fun we have being able to explore the local area is great. For a quick trip to the shops for necessities it is brilliant. Love our bikes. Would recommend one even if you are not a traveler.

Absolutely Perfect
I've had the bike for 2 weeks now and love it. Picked it up from Dandenong warehouse 2 days after ordering. Easy to assemble using excellent downloaded manual (colour with excellent pictures) - just propped the iPad up and read from it. The bike delivers everything it promises. Folds up/down in 30secs and fits in my car boot. Looks to be of good quality build and so easy to ride. The spacing of the 6 gears, combined with the well thought out power assist levels (low, medium, high) makes the ride an absolute pleasure and overcomes the one downside (for me) of cycling, that is hills! Hills are no more! Now I can enjoy riding. This is a seriously good value product. I maybe should have ordered the longer range battery!

A joy and lots of fun to ride...
I purchased my Leitner bike about 6 weeks ago as a result of comprehensively researching electric bikes after my former 'normal' bike cracked and became unroadworthy.
Electric bikes can be expensive and costing up to $5000.00, however the Leitner sold itself to me through the unsolicited positive reports posted by other happy owners.
I always ride my bike around my town and living in the country and travelling along our country lanes, the roads can be dirt and corrugated. Nevertheless the Leitner is a rugged steed and is giving me a lot of...Read more

Questions & Answers
Lex Rasked
is the higher capacity battery an option when placing the order or do you have to buy it as a additional battery?
3 answers
As I recall, it was an option when I placed the order and was around $300 more than the 10ah battery. The bigger battery is needed if you live in a hilly area as hills chew through the juice.
Contrary to Gerry's answer I wasn't aware of a more powerful battery from Leitner. I don't think that they do. Had it been available then I would have ordered it with my Super 'T'. Leitner staff advised me that their battery is 300 watts, but it has a higher power when you need them for going up hills. "RAD" batteries as an example, are what you get...nothing in reserve.
I live on a golf course with hills. I ride my bike on the paths up and down 18 holes without problems. I weigh 200 pounds, and I don't peddle hard, but the bike is in second gear and full throttle.
I believe that I have all the power that's needed for this riding, and while I haven't ridden it 25 miles that's not what it's for. I use mine for camping and riding in the back-country on dirt trails.
I am happy with my purchase and I recommend it to you too!

Hi, I bought my Super T around three years ago with the longer range battery as an option. I don't have the standard range battery. On medium assist it's still good for over 35 miles.
Peter Casked
Hello and thanks for the listing. I have been researching E BIKES for 6 months now and find the whole exercise very confusing especially when watching U TUBE as it seem most people are just price takers. I originally come from Australia but now living in TEXAS US. Question How well are the bikes packed and what happens if it is damaged in transport? Does the bike come with fat tires? How does one access warranty work if so required? I will only be using this for around town on good surfaces and not in the BUSH Any further information you can supply would be greatly appreciated. All the reviews sound Wonderfull so hopefully this is the answer Many Thanks Peter CRAIG Midlothian TX 76065

Peter, I'm happy to help, and I'm especially happy with my Leitner Super "T" too!
First Peter, I understand your frustrations with shopping for ebikes. I did extensive studies before I bought the Leitner, so let me answer your concerns, and add some thoughts too.
Immediately after you buy it you'll get an email describing what you should do if the package is damaged or the bike is. They want to know immediately. Secondly, the Leitner comes from Seattle. Much quicker than other ebikes from China.... Mine arrived in Oregon in 2 day's, but it's closer than Texas!
First about power. Leither offers a 350 watt battery. Watts doesn't equal power (for going up hills). Rather, watts equals distance you can travel before the battery dies. If you are riding across Texas then the more watts you can afford the better you'll be. Amps equals power, (battery watts times amps = torque (these calculations are on line) and my 20 inch foldable Leitner has enough "torque" to power me up a 5% grade in second gear and not peddling hard! I was impressed because I will be using my bike on dirt trails in the Oregon (out-back) deserts.
Now, other popular ebikes say that they have 750 watts, but upon further study you'll learn that those 750 watts is "Max" watts that you are paying about $500 more for than the Leitner. The Leitner has 350 watts, but they will tell you straight - up that theirs "maxes out at 650 watts"! Send Jennifer an email and ask her about it. I paid $999.00 as opposed to the RAD at $1599.00 for about the same power and duel suspension too!
Because I will be riding in dirt 4 inch "fattie" tires are not my choice. Leitner has 2 1/2 inch tires. I installed thorn-proof tubes that you may want to consider cuz ya never know.... The 4 inch tires offered on the RAD, 20 inch folding bike steals power due to their width. Thus, you have to peddle harder on pavement! The 2 1/2 inch tires are great for street...but don't forget that the Leitner comes with full suspension whereas the RAD don't! I weigh 200 LBS, and the suspension doesn't bottom out on me! Impressive? Yep!
The packaging. Leitner has everything secured and nothing was broken, scratched or damaged! However, I did break a lever. Totally my fault. I called Leitner, and spoke to "Jennifer". If you talk to her tell her I said "HI"! She immediately sent me the replacement part - that I paid for - and got in 2 day's! Additionally, they followed up with an email about the bikes lighting process that was incorrectly printed in the manual. I'm sure that the Leitner's 12 month warrantee will be great based upon my contact with Jennifer for that part. The RAD has a 90 day warrantee! I wonder why?
I'm hopeful that this answers your questions. I know I was long-winded, but it's important that I pass on information that helped me decide on the Leitner Super T. I got the red one, and it's cool!
In closing I give the Leitner staff and product 6 stars! Five for the product, and add another star for the helpful staff (who speak your language, Peter....)! I'm pleased with both. You will be too.
Have fun with your Leitner!

Thank you Wayne it is nice to have input by someone who has had experience other than those involved in merely selling the item. One thing that really impressed me was the color which will be my request. All my cars are red and red has always been my first choice. I really appreciated you taking the time to respond to someone you do not know so hopefully my experience will be as positive as yours. You mention 2 and half inches do you have to specifically order that size. Many Thanks again and God Bless Peter CRAIG MIDLOTHIAN TEXAS

i would like some infos about the battery
how long does it last? how many charge? can i charge it at home?
thanks

The question about how long it lasts is best asked with Leitner. I think buy the 16 ah. battery for longer life. Rey easy to charge at home. Very pleased with mine which I use 4 to 5 times a week.

Update - have had our bikes nearly 2 years and still loving them. We are enjoying the ability to ride our bikes no matter what the terrain. It is keeping us both outside and doing things we love to do despite having arthritis and tendonitis.
