Leitner Cross X
Verified35 reviews
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.
My favourite ride ever! – I bought this bike 2nd hand so don't know what it had been put through or how many k's had been put on it prior but what a great work horse. Plenty of power and plenty of k.s in the large battery. (Slightly touchy assist, would occasionally start when I wasn't ready because my foot was resting on the pedal.) The seat was replaced with a more… Read more
comfortable one so with the beaut, Dual Suspension, it was The Most Comfortable bike I've Ever ridden! After I put 1000k's on it, it started making a slight jingling noise in the hub-motor. A 1000k's later it was getting noisier. The bike shop I took it to said it wasn't worth trying to fix and would probably seize up at some point. Sadly, I have passed the bike on to a handy person. The only reason I did not buy the same again is it's weight. Heavy to push with out power assist and with my bad back, too heavy to lift. I'm sure the smaller battery would make a difference but I also wanted a bike that was light enough to pedal without assist. (A cycle commuter, and occasional tourer, I've been riding over 40 years, in Canada, UK and now Australia.)
Super Strong and Reliable – I purchased a new Leitner Electric Mountain Bike in July 2017. Everything on the bike is original and still in perfect working order. It is such an awesome bike! Brenton Barron Mount Osmond South Australia Show details

Outstanding bike – My X trail bike is simply outstanding. I do alot of trail rides and this bike is the bees knees with all of it's options. Could not be happier. The bike can handle off road conditions with ease and with daul suspension the ride is extremely comfortable. I've never come across such amazing after sale service as I had a small problem and everyone… Read more
bent over backwards to help me,problem solved. To all at Leitner I thankyou from the bottom of my heart for all your help. Rob Smith
What a fantastic bike – On delivery it was love at first sight. My Leitner Cross X is better than my expectations. Kitty was fantastic to deal with. She was very helpful to answer my questions prior to my payment. I was a little apprehensive to pre order, with full payment. I guess I was like an expecting father waiting for my delivery, which arrived on the date I was… Read more
promised. When I inboxed it I was taken back to the meticulous way it was packed. I had down loaded the assembly instructions A couple of weeks prior, so I had a good idea of what to do. It comes with a tool kit, so you don’t have to go looking for tools. After a couple of hours I was finished, with nothing left over, it is like they assemble it in the factory, then pull it apart for boxing. To ride it is fantastic, as I had Not ridden a push bike for 50 years. It took a bit to work out gear selection to assist settings, and after a couple of days riding I was a pro. I have added some of my own accessories to finish it off. I’m so happy and can Not rave enough about my Cross X, money very well spent and is at the standard of other $7,000 Ebikes on the market. I upgraded to the 16a/hr battery.. I’m a very very happy customer, Thankyou Leitner.. Regards, Andy
Sensational bike – I am "WRAPPED"!!! Received my silver cross x 3 days after ordering from very helpful Alex who made the process easy. The bike has exceed my expectations with the build quality, ease of riding, the controls and most of all battery life is impressive. Show details

Excellent Service – I have had this bike for 4 years now and had no issues until recently when it just stopped working. I emailed Leitner and to my absolute surprise - got an answer !! AND it was useful. I was taken through the different things to identify the fault and then given an opportunity to buy spare parts at a very reasonable cost. 100% QDOS to these… Read more
guys. At a time when you have difficulty even finding a person to communicate with, they guys were a breath of fresh air!!
after sales and general – i’ve ridden mine alot since buying in december. adter sales excellent - a human involved who dealt with me and bike shop guy. still a bit tempremental on power but easily overcome. All up terrific. Show details
Great bike, great value – I have had my Cross X for about three months now and ridden it a lot. I previously had another brand that I found big and cumbersome. The Cross X is just the opposite. It is an excellent bike to ride and the dual suspension is fantastic. I got the 15 amp battery just in case I needed the extra mileage but so far I have not even gone close to… Read more
running it down. I live literally two minutes from Stromlo Forest Park in Canberra. It has some steep trails and fire tracks but the Cross X performs excellently going to the top. At the price this is an outstanding ebike. Service is great, the bike arrived to me in Canberra just over 24 hours after I ordered it online. Being pedantic, it has three very minor issues.....1. the seat is too big. I hate the skinny seats but this one is too big however I easily changed it for a comfortable one. 2. the control panel is way too basic. It only displays odo, trip, speed and pedal assist plus an almost impossible to read tiny graphic displaying the amount of charge left in the battery. You literally have to get off the bike and press a button on top of the battery to see a coded light display for more battery information. Other ebikes I have seen, even cheaper ones, have a countdown from 100% for the battery power which is much better and also trip time, average speed etc. Also, the speedo tops out at 24.7kph, the speed at which the battery cuts out. You have no clue what speed you are going above that. 3. there is no bottle stand and no room on the frame for one but I bought one that attaches to the handle bars and it works fine.
My son stole my Cross X – My son has just turned 30 and I am buying him a Leitner for his birthday. Has all the toys but no E-Bike. He borrowed my two year old Cross-X for a week and loved it. I looked at quite a few in local bike shops. No rear suspension, skinny hard seats and no throttle only option. Also $500 + more expensive. The Cross X is a great bike at a very fair price, Huge fan.

Loving it so far! – Had the bike for 11 months... just covered 2550+ kms.. loving it!........evidently I need to say more words... evidently the robot counts words ... so here are some ..idiots, why, I retract the good review! Show details
Really Happy – I recently received my Cross X and I am very happy with it. Two things I would like to do is fit a water bottle rack and a carry rack on the rear. Has anyone had successfully done this ? Show details
Do not! – extremely unhappy about the brand, there is no showroom so I bought the bike without test riding. No service option no workshop, when the bike has a problem I am on my own . Show details

Awesome Bike – Received my Cross X yesterday and completed a 25Klm ride today. Can’t believe how easy it is with the powered assistance. Still getting plenty of exercise too. Bike is awesome. Show details
Love it exceeds my expectations – I live on the side of a volcano (dormant) so steep hills long country roads including dirt roads I ride daily not long rides 20 to 30 kms. I can choose how hard I want to work with a push of a button. The bike is comfortable, easy to operate, reliable and has exceeded my expectations. Apart from where do you put a water bottle cage.

At 76 gives me a new freedom after Knee replacement – I thought long and hard before buying an E-bike at 76, I purchased the Leintner Cross X E bike, it gives me a new freedom as I found my push bike was causing me more pain than pleasure after knee replacement I found the build quality to be excellent I can easily go up most Hills. I discovered there's a lot of rubbish for sale in E-bike market.… Read more
Promising all sorts of warranties. I spoke to a Uber Rider who had three previous E-bikes and now has a Leintner he said it was the best E-bike he has owned.I also found the seat comfortable.
Leitner Cross X Great Bike – Well made bike that can be used for exercise or just cruising, rides great. Love riding it! One small problem is the back mud guard keeps coming loose and falls down on the rear wheel. This seems to be because the screw goes into a thread and then a nut on the inside. I was trying to do screw up when I needed to do the nut on the inside up. Show details
just love it – Have had a cross x for two months now and just can not find any faults. The bike does all i expected and more. Great for riding on windy days with pedal assist it makes it a lot more enjoyable. These bikes will give you a lot of fun for many years Alan Show details
Dream machine – Receive my Leitner Cross X last week and put the bike together (was so easy) Tried the bike out on Saturday and found the bike worked perfect Gears worked perfect and cruise control works like a dream, have changed the cruise speed to go faster 25 kph so easy to access the two grey wires to change Would recommend using this company for buying ebikes Show details
The Cross X is more and BETTER than I expected – From payment to delivery of my bike only took three days, IMPRESSIVE. Thanks to a local Ambassador, Geoff, the assembly only took close to an hour, again, IMPRESSIVE. But there are no words to describe the joy when I rode my Cross X for the first time. More than IMPRESSIVE. I am so grateful to Leitner for providing such great product. The… Read more
friendly service from Jennifer, Damian and the entire team is just as IMPRESSIVE and ready to assist. Keep it guys, I will have no hesitation to recommend Leitner bikes to my family and friends. Cheers Hugo
Great durable bike! – I've had 2 issues, due to my use and the excessive strain I place it under, NOT the bike itself. It actually surpasses my handling expectations. Sales staff have been absolutely phenomenal in helping me to repair the issues; I cannot fault their service. Owned it almost 1 year now, still happy with its capabilities/performance, I travel 60km/day… Read more
on it with two kids in a carrier attached to it, hence the excessive strain. Last year I travelled 100km/day for the last school term and it held up exceptionally, but required charging as soon as I got home from each run as the carrier drains the battery faster, but again, this is NOT an issue with the bike itself but rather my use of it. Staff advised me that this kind of use would undoubtedly place excessive strain on the bike before I purchased it and I chose to buy it knowing it would require service well before expected. I regret nothing.
beautiful thing – Purchased the cross x for myself and the libelle step through for my wife early june 19 assembly was very simple approx half an hour each , most comfortable bike to ride and power is unbelievable never seen anything like it just suit me , and the wife is very happy with her bike as well, at the moment we are caravaning and they are an ideal pass… Read more

Great bike, great service and support – I loved my electric Cross X mountain bike from even before it was delivered as the service and prompt responses to queries was appreciated as I’m not really a ‘bike’ person. It was easy to assemble and after a bit of getting used to I found it fun to ride - Leitner turned the daunting steep hills of Anglesea into a pleasurable outing! When I put… Read more
the bike into a service because the rear brake wasn’t working the repair shop identified a bigger problem with the wheel itself and I had to get in touch with Leitner. Instead of the usual run around, they contacted the repair shop, talked it through, exchanged photos and under warranty have replaced the parts - really impressive and a reinforcement that this is a quality company.
Always helpful, never patronising and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Great prices, great product, great people, great after sales service. So much so I bought another one for my partner!!
Thanks Leitner.
Brilliant – Quality and ride is brilliant,ideal for me. Brake's and gears are fantastic and the speed it picks up even impresses my son. Oh well I think a few mates will be acquiring their own eh. Gone for the Blue. Also a the welded frame looks to handle some decent terrain. Thanks guys Show details
Fantastic Bike 2,000 kilometers and going strong – Had this bike for nearly 12 months so far have taken it off road mountain biking had it up to 70 kilometers an hour going down hill and ride it every day for at least 15 kilometers. Love it I was hesitant at first thinking cheapest bike of them all but let me tell you this baby takes on all comers and its never let me down. Would I recommend… Read more
Leitner yes their bikes are great but when it comes down to it after sales service is where it counts and Leitner like its bikes excels. I have pushed this bike to its limits and its always comes through like the thoroughbred that it is. Would I recommend a leitner bike the answer is yes if this bike can take what I give it and shine them it will do the same for you.
Surprisingly good value for money – I wanted dual suspension, but didn't want to spend more than my car is worth, so this looked like the way to go for my 10km commute to work. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it is for the money. The seat is a bit on the huge side for a cycling enthusiast, so I've swapped it to something that suits my riding style. My only other complaint is… Read more
that the pedals are one sided, and it's a bit of a bother to get them the right way up, or put up with having my feet on the wrong side, so I swapped them for some MTB pedals. Very minor complaints for a really good product. Most people would be very happy with it just how it is.
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… Read more
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

Fantastic Bike, could not be happier! – I was looking into electric bikes for some time and as soon as i discovered LEITNER i had to get one. At such a good price, easy to put together and with great customer support. The bike is so strong and sturdy, the motor works great when you need a bit of help to get up those hills, i could not highly recommend this enough the mountain bike has… Read more
great suspension a comfortable ride and lets you go anywhere. The battery has a great range and i only have to charge it once a week. Overall a great company to deal with and a even better bike!
Amazing Mountain Bike Built Quality With Great Suspension – I am still blown away at the mountain bike I got for $1239. This machine is equipped for serious off road fun! Search Leitner Cross X on Youtube for the video review! It arrived 3 days from order in quality packaging. This is my second Leitner bike - that's how good they are. I was shocked at the quality of suspension & paint job on these… Read more
bikes. Looking at the bike online, I thought the suspension was all for show but it really has left me surprised - a smooth ride even on corrugated surfaces. Looking at the price, it's easy to question the quality but don't - just buy it and you will convince yourself. I was in the market for months for a quality electric bike. I was doubtful about a drum motor. I didn't think it had the pulling power I needed but these Leitners must have quality motors because in unrestricted mode, they achieve on bitumen 30 kph with light pedalling. I have a Shimano Steps but can't really tell the difference in performance.
I was also shocked at the quality mud guards and tyres. You get actual off road tyres which is great! The breaks are good as well. The lights are also good! I was told that drum motors are old technology but I know individuals who have mid-drive systems and have problems later down the track! These drum motors are reliable.
The only Negatives are (1) the seat is way to big for a mountain bike, (2) the tyres come close to flat so you need a pump, (3) 10 amp is not enough for off road & (4) motor resistance when used as normal bike - bigger battery will solve this issue.
Changes the way you view cycling in a very good way! – Coming from a non cycling background, I purchased one of these because of a license suspension and the need to commute. The electric assist makes the impossible possible and a cheeseburger fanatic can pedal (assisted) 40-50km in distance in 1hr30mins and not have a coronary. Build quality is great, just be sure to fully charge the battery and… Read more
you'll be good as gold. Money well spent and once that off road beast comes back into stock (more power) I will be trading up for sure.
UNQUESTIONABLY SENSATIONAL – My posterior has never felt so better, the hill climbs were simply luxuriously easy, the foot to pedal was left wanting more upon our arrival, and when other family members took our bikes out for a spin, will all I can say is hey Leitner hope you got more where they came from? Show details
Great experience – Ordered this without the benefit of a test ride, but very glad that I did. Sam and the team at Leitner have been very helpful, and the bike itself is well made, and exactly what I was hoping for. Riding uphill is particularly fun, particularly with friends on normal bikes :) Show details
Like being a kid again such fun for older people – Leitner Cross X a robust electric bike fun to ride very convenient around small country towns what it cost is soon saved in fuel keeps the car from rough road damage. Once used to the power system it is a buzz it allows riding on paths in town at slower speed as fast as taking the car into town there is no parking problems and a lot more fun it is like being a kid again, I recommend this bike to anyone living in small country towns Show details
Great Product. Great Service – This thank you sent to Leitner in response to an inquiry sums it up. "Thank you very much for your excellent service. I have recommended your bikes to friends and this type of service and the quality of your product is the reason for those recommendations. You have certainly raised the bar in terms of competition and service in an industry which needs to be shaken up".
I love my new Leitner ebike – Fast delivery . I had my new bike in six days from ordering. Rugged durability. This bike is built like a tank and can easily handle rough country roads and tracks. Value for money At half the price of other dual suspension bikes with equal quality. I have had my new bike for six weeks now and are very pleased with it. I took my new bike… Read more
too Kangaroo island for a weeks holiday. I took it on smooth roads and rough roads, corrugated tracks and sand dunes. It did not fail or brake even on the worst roughest tracks. Very happy with my Leitner CrossX
