Best Electric Bikes

Pros: -1000W has good pedal assist easily rides up hills, -Light is very bright for night riding -My daughter loves going for rides Now the Cons… Read more

which for a bike that cost me almost $4000 i feel is unacceptable, Ive done 180kms so far, Bike ran well until it rained a little now the headlight turns on and off whenever, the auto lock symbol shows even when you have auto lock turned off so you need to restart the bike, sometimes it will still lock itself randomly which isn't fun when getting off a train and not expecting it. since getting a little wet a vibration started from the hub motor at low speeds. Bike has gotten dirty and I'm afraid to wash it, the front suspension is leaking fluid

The pedal assist is so smooth, so nice to have throttle, can handle massive hills, comfy seat, bike is sturdy, easy to handle, I love it so much.… Read more

The team are great and just a phone call away. I looked for so long before choosing a bike and feel so excited that I got the perfect ride for me. Recommend the 15A battery upgrade. 10/10 would buy again.

I rang Lietner to check stock and get advice on the Berlin bike which was a very good experience and I ordered and paid on a Friday 4pm and the bike… Read more

arrived Wednesday lunchtime. Amazing. The assembly took me a couple of hours with supplied tools and I struggle with IKEA so this was OK. I rode it a couple of ks and it was great and then did 15k ride Thursday. Its a beautiful bike and I have had compliments from strangers when I stop at cafes. The 6 speed Shimano gears are smooth and the variable pedal assist kicks in sweetly. Braking is powerful and front suspension and wide comfortable seat makes cruising streets and cycle ways effortless and entertaining. I look forward to going for a ride every day at 65 yrs of age. Best choice i have made in years. All street legal, high quality and classy at a great price.

Loved it to start with, got one for my wife, then disappointment – I purchased this bike nearly 2 years ago, great, easy to assemble and easy on the aging body. I had clocked up about 1000klm + . All of a sudden… Read more

after 15klm on a ride, it died, the battery was fully charged prior to the ride. Got home and recharged the battery, went for another ride and the same problem. I contacted Leitner and they gave me a list of things to look for and the conditions the bike was ridden under, I provided all the relevant and correct information, and the response I was given, that I would have to buy a new battery. This is a poor option as I am an aged pensioner and can't afford to keep buying batteries every 18 months. I purchased this bike on reliable recommendation from a relative who has had the same bike for 5 + years with no worries. In the end, Leitner agreed to give me a used battery FOC but I pay the postage, now this battery is failing. After doing some research, I find that ebike battery's should last 5 - 8 years depending on use. I don't think that I have over used my battery. I am not convinced that I have been well treated by Leitner, especially after all the referrals that I have give to people who have asked after the bike. Geoff. Geraldton. WA.

Bike and customer service A1 – Great bike. And excellent customer service. A company and product you can rely on. Show details

Fantastic value for money. Quite powerful and the family is enjoying them.

A Top Shelf Product - The Leitner Tirol – Now and again, one purchases something that is exceptional value for money. Two years ago, this 79-year-old and partner purchased two Leitner Fold up… Read more

Tirols. They have both traversed several thousand kilometers taking us to places we would normally never have gone to and met extraordinary people. We were recently asked whether we would buy the same products again. Our response, "in a heartbeat". If you are in the market for a foldup E-Bike, don't hesitate. A Leitner will not disappoint.

It's been amazing! The ride is smooth and responsive, perfect for both trails and city roads. The build feels solid and durable, and the design is sleek and eye catching. It handles hills and rough terrain effortlessly, making every ride enjoyable.

Love my new ebike from Leitner. I was impressed by the prompt answers to my queries via email. The bike arrived in 2 days! Impressive as it is nearly 3000km from my place! It is so much fun, and so well made.

I recently purchased the El Hefe 2024 Fat Tyre from Vamos and it has completely transformed my daily commute. What started as an alternative to… Read more

driving has quickly become my preferred way to get around, I barely use my car anymore. The bike is incredibly solid, powerful, and built with real quality.

The team at Vamos were fantastic to deal with from start to finish, knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The whole experience exceeded my expectations.

If you’re considering an e-bike, I cannot recommend Vamos highly enough. Absolute game changer.

Good buy – Great bike, a couple of order issues but the team sorted it out right away, bike is going strong.

Bike is better in real life..love it .. great company to deal with ..thanks to the Merkx team for all your help

hills and headwinds no more probs – I got the mamba venom original not that antidote model,I think mine is called mamba venom gen 1 ebike,purchased bike from Avocado ebike in Sydney… Read more

after reading google reviews,my ebike was $ 2100 with samsung 20 amp hour battery included,another reason I bought this bike from Avocado is that they carry most parts for this bike including bigger batteries,anyways its not a bad bike,gets me up big hills no probs just using peddle assist 3 and that gets you around 25 klms speed limit,it is best to stick to the rules,it does have an offroad function but I have had no need to use that,even on hills,I like the design of the bike but a nice upgrade would be stainless steel spokes with semi- smooth tires,steers well and brakes well,comfortable seat,has very strong rear rack that can carry saddle bags,its an easy bike to ride and work out the functions it has,handles well,it does have some cheaper components on it like,chain,cassette,steel spokes and not the greatest tires but most ebikes at this price point are like this ,you can allways do a custom rebuild yourself and upgrade some things on this bike,motor and big 20 amp hour battery is very nice,sydney bicycle paths are awesome,no more traffic probs

By far best service I have ever received. Despite being well out of warranty they insisted on sending me new parts free of charge and managed to post… Read more

then with a couple of hours on a Friday afternoon. I'm in my 80's and just love this bike. Full marks to Krystal bikes and their team.

I have had my Dyson foldable 26 for some time now riding the bike paths in Canberra as well as various interstate rail trails. I have done about… Read more

7500km and thoroughly enjoy this fantastic bike. I take the front wheel off when putting it in the car which ensures an easy fit and makes it even lighter. Have just upgraded the speedo to the latest Dyson version which is very easy to use with boost changes now very easy even with gloves on, a great colour display and an indicator which shows when and the level the battery is being used (very handy). I cannot recommend this bike highly enough. It is easy to ride, nimble and light. For me it gets a score 11 out of 10.

I've had my "Estate" bike for probably 2 or more years, not ridden it all that much. Brakes are woeful to which others can attest or verify. I've not… Read more

had any battery issues but today, something went awfully wrong with the pedals and cadence sensor or front sprocket. Probably not the cadence sensor, as I could pedal and that generates the electrical power, but there was no actual pedal thrust or torque, so I had to rely entirely on the electrical power to move me along. Have yet to pull it apart to see what broke.

Nearly 2 years of service and not a single issue – Bought my gen 2 Classimo in mid 2022 and have been extremely pleased with my bike since purchase. Over the course of 2 years and 2000km I have not… Read more

experienced a single issue, the only maintenance items being one set of new brake pads and chain lubricant. This bike has been ridden extensively over dirt roads and twice been caught in torrential rain and still functions perfectly. Battery has also degraded very little over the 2 years, with the maximum range I have achieved being 55km with 90% eco/10% max power split. The built in wheel lock allows me to feel more comfortable leaving it outside of shops, although I still use a chain lock for added security. It is a $2500+ package for the price of $1500 (now $1800). Service provided by Dirodi before and after purchase with my queries was exceptional. Highly recommend this bike for anyone looking for a nice looking, comfortable, decently priced e-bike.

The saddle is extremely uncomfortable. Worse for lack of suspension. Apart from that it's a great little bike. Does everything I need locally.

Great buy!!! – I have recently bought this bike for my wife, and she is thrilled with it: fast shipping, great bike, excellent communication, and support. Excellent company. We couldn't be happier. Show details

Value for price – This article is not in any way to be taken as a promotion for Leitner, neither is it to recommend or condemn Leitner electric bikes, but rather a… Read more

review of what I see as the pros &cons of these machines. The Ultimate range of bikes come in three styles, Step-though, Semi Step-through and Step-over. They are driven by a 250W motor in the rear wheel coupled to a 10 aH, 36 V Samsung lithium battery mounted internally within the frame. There are 5 power settings available from the selector on the handlebars. The 7 speed Shimano Tourney gears with a single chain ring is fine when you have power to assist. They run 700c wheels fitted with Tecktro disc brakes. The biggest ‘pro’ by far is the cost! At around $1500, it is far below the mean for comparable bikes. At 17kg, weight is also a plus (especially when it requires lifting onto a car rack). Cons are, it comes in a box and needs assembly (not difficult) and it does not have mounting for water bottles, pumps etc. The Tecktro brakes, although efficient can be very noisy. The worst problem is the supplied controller/readout is FAR TOO SMALL TO BE USED EFFICIENTLY. However, for around $100, a much larger unit can be purchased from Leitner that we have all found to be highly beneficial, even close to mandatory. In summary, these cycles are good value for money, but like all things you get the components that you pay for. I am sure that you can find brilliant e-bikes with top equipment fitted if you want to pay for it, but for the price these bikes I find are satisfactory for Cynthia and my use. Dave

Happy to have found the Cleverley E-bike – Recently purchased this e-bike and have put 100km on it. The service from supplier was on personal level and I can say outstanding. I was looking for… Read more

a quality and well featured bike. I found the bike is perfectly matched to each part and built to last with low maintenance. I felt the supplier is a bike rider with years of knowledge and experience and designed this bike to meet his expectations which made me confident that I had made the right choice, so far his is the case.

Great for my needs – I have had the bike about 2 months and have ridden it every other day both off road and on road. For the hilly village I live in it is ideal. On the… Read more

bitumen I get about 25% power usage for 20kms on a power setting of 5 which gives me quite a respectable range. The weight issue makes the bike a little less easy to handle off road but my main use will be tracks and rail trails. I was concerned about the weight on my bike rack so I reinforced the rack and found the removal of the battery significantly reduced the weight. A cover for the battery compartment would be great for travelling but a complete bike cover will probably do the same job. Some more details on making fine adjustments to suspension and maintenance would help.

Bought this in 2022 and added the “off-road” kit shortly after. As someone who rides clipped in and owns 7 other bikes (all non e-bikes such as… Read more

hardtail MTBs: Giant, Trek, Mongoose, dual suspension Jamis MTB, Trek FX hybrid, and a couple of spare Boardman carbon road bikes), the Prague was really just a trial, back in 2022, to see if e-bikes were for me before moving into a mid-drive setup. Four years later, it’s still going strong. And not even going into mid-drive setup yet due to price is still.... expensive. I’ve taken it through gravel trails, rocky paths, smooth bike paths, and even beaches. Honestly, I’ve grown to really like how smooth it feels, even with the rear hub motor. It may not feel as natural as a mid-drive, but it works well for me. The brakes aren’t hydraulic, but they do the job. I’ve had to tweak them a few time, though to be fair, I do ride it pretty hard. Because I ride clipped in and mostly use the lowest assist setting, I’ve managed to stretch the range up to 120 km a few times (well above the claimed 70 km). Battery health has also held up nicely over 4 years. I’ve been careful to avoid overcharging and try to keep it discharged when possible. The off-road kit with the thumb throttle is a great bonus, especially when you’re done for the day and just want to get home quickly. It cuts off at 32 km/h, and that drops a bit once the battery dips below half. The only real issue I had was some missing bolts from the rear disc rotor early on, likely not torqued properly during assembly. Easy fix at a local bike shop after about 3,000 km. It is a heavy bike, though. Transporting it on a towball rack can be hit or miss, so I usually take one of my non e-bikes if I’m heading further out. Also, downhill trails are not its strong point—the rear feels very heavy, and I’d rather not risk damaging the hub. Now nearing 7,000 km. I’ve replaced brake pads and tyres once. It gets rotated with my other bikes, mainly my Boardman road bike and Giant Fathom hardtail. Wishlist? Definitely a better front suspension. The Suntour XCT is pretty basic. I barely notice any difference between settings. Feels more like a rigid fork at times to be honest. Considering an upgrade, so open to suggestions if anyone has tried aftermarket options.

Great bike but – Powerful, sturdy, stable and comfortable w a long range. Comes w rack, lights and mudguards. My major gripe is the woeful power/trip computer unit,… Read more

especially given how good they are on other Giant models. It's badly positioned on the L of the handlebar, far too small and only one feature shown at a time, each one also far too small. You cannot monitor speed AND distance at the same time for example. Changing all screen views is fiddly, slow and frustrating.

I'm going to have to buy a proper sized separate trip computer that I can see clearly, which I shouldn't have to do on a $5000+ bike!

Very cheap quality -would definitely buy a better brand -it’s like a $100 Kmart bike with a 1000w hub that seemed to have no more power that a 250 w hub -rip off don’t buy this Show details

Awesome E bike 4 months old, 1300 trouble free kilometres, great battery life when used accordingly, 60-80 klm range, Lola the chihuahua loves it too with her daily 10k rides Show details

I've had my ebike for 6 months now and it's been great. I basically haven't done any maintenance other than pumping the tires and it's still just as smooth and quiet as day 1. And Will is always helpful if I have any questions.

I had this for around 6 months and I enjoyed it a lot. Rides well and has power to spare for hills. Being a mid drive it operates only when you are… Read more

pedalling. If you arent pedalling then it cant supply power (its via the chain through to the back wheels). This has advantage of leveraging the gears but as I said it not great for lazy pedalling to go fast like a rear drive motor.

I had an issue with the mid drive motor that required replacement. This became a problem as it was going to be at least 3 months (11 weeks - not guaranteed) plus I had already been sent a spare power control cable, that didnt fix the issue.

I requested a refund given the timeframe and my needs. Mytopia, who I purchased this from, agreed without any real need to push for this. I did have an issue based on my advice on the BSB for the refund. That was my error.

Why I recommend the bike, is that it was a good ride, well suited to hilly environments, excepting the repair time issue.

As well the company (Mytopia) support was good and helpful.

Quality bike with quality back up – We have had 2 foldable Smartmotion e20's for a few years and very happy so decided to buy 2 x XCities. Awesome quality and sure will get many years… Read more

of service. Slight hiccup and Smartmotion staff swung into action to fix my issue. These are real people with a retail presence, not some click and buy unknown online seller. Buy with confidence. I highly recomend Smartmotion the company, the owner who contacted me and the staff who were caring and attentive.
