The Leitner 26'' Step-Over Ebike Berlin Cruiser are very good product and the bike itself last really long time , when you use the bike every day the battery only lasts 4 1/2 half years , plus I wish there were more bike shops in Adelaide that would repair Leitner Ebikes

Easy to put together, reliable, comfortable, easy to maintain, goes as advertised, I couldn't be happier. I take a regular daily 33 klm trip to work, recharge the battery at work, then return home. The best!

I have completed 140 klms on this bike. Arrived undamaged. The quality of build is excellent and was easy to put together. Good quality manual BUT images ie photographs are blurry and hard to see. Although I haven't ridden a bike for years it literally took five minutes to master the easily accessible controls. The brakes are superb can they get any better? The tyres are reinforced to reduce punctures. As I have osteo knees the motor assist is essential to power up hills. The power and speed display shows all you need to know. I did buy a handl...
Read moreebar mirror for safety reasons. The battery can be charged on bike or removed for separate charging. I purchased the blue frame model and the finish is great. The seat is comfortable. A luggage rack is included as well as lights. The front suspension is great and adjustable. I researched ebikes for weeks and the numerous positive reviews on these bikes was a great factor in my purchase. In summary the bike exceeded my expectations by a lot. I just love it riding to the beach.Purchased in November 2021 at Leitner for $1,498.

One of my best purchases ever. Umming & Ahhing for a while, then had a chat with a Leitner Ambassador, and decided to go ahead. Had it for about 5 months now and hasnt missed a beat. Never thought riding a bike could bring so much enjoyment.

I purchased this bike 8 months ago and have now done 1500km. I have deliberately waited before reviewing this bike. So far I am delighted. I have had no problems. The battery is holding up well and I have not noticed any decline in its performance. The bike is wearing well and people who ask me about it assume that it is brand new. So far I am very happy with my bike.

My wife bought one 2 months ago. She loves it. The build quality is very high, it makes light of hills and allows longer and more interesting bike rides (we opted for the bigger 16Ah battery). Saddle is very comfortable and the overall design is great - very European. I held out before finally trying hers and then buying one myself. My one (minor) concern is that I am 6ft 3 and the frame size (distance between saddle and handlebars) is very slightly shorter than I would have ideally liked. However I've decided to accept this as a compromise be...
Read morecause the bike is so good. I also think I can adjust the handlebars so that they clear my knees when turning. I do think that the one weakness of the whole buying system is the inability to see and try before buying. Our nearest volunteer person who could show us the bike was well over 40 minutes drive away. We tried contacting him and he didn't reply - not great. So it was a leap of faith to buy blind - but it was the reviews on sites like this that persuaded us . We are glad we took the gamble - but this explains why we only bought one to start with. I suspect that this is why the company has to be really on top of its game with high quality products and customer service - because trust is critical when no physical shop exists.Purchased in June 2021.
OMG, OMG, OMG!! I love them. Just a little feedback, the bikes arrived about 11 this morning. I put both batteries on charge and preceded to put my wife's and my bike together. It took me a few hours to do both bikes but had no real issues at all putting them together. Everything fits well, and the brakes needed no adjusting at all which was a bonus. With weather coming I had everything finished and batteries charged by four o'clock, it was recommended in the manual to get used to the bike, so I rode it first with no battery to get the hang of ...
Read moreit. It rode really well, albeit a little heavier than normal but it just felt like a push bike to ride. I then put the battery in, I used the throttle to start moving the bike and then started peddling up our driveway and could not believe how easy it was with pedal assist. Although i live on acres with plenty of room to ride, it was straight out on the road and I'm off. (This bit, is a bit personal.) I am 62 this year in Dec, and my wife and I have been active hikers, rock climbers, cavers, hang glider pilots, and basically led very active lives. As I got older, I started having problems with pain in my legs which ended up being narrowing arteries in my legs. Which in turn caused me intense pain when i try to walk distance, 100m is it for me and I have to stop walking and wait a min or two before i can walk another 100m or so. It has been secretly distressing for me knowing my wife is healthy and could walk twenty km without breaking a sweat and I can't join her. It has been heart breaking living next to Wison's Prom with so many beautiful walks and trails at hand, but not being able to walk any with my beautiful wife. She never complains that I can't walk with her and the dog, but it breaks my heart that I can't. It will sound corny, but I shed a few tears on the ride back home knowing that distance was now a thing of the past. Leitner, you have changed my life, you have given me back the freedom of twenty years ago. No longer will my wife walk without me, as we both now have Leitner bikes and many new adventures lie in wait for us. Thank you!Purchased in July 2021 for $1,345.

I live in the US, and was one of the few who bought a leitner from US shop. AU shop sent me replacement parts years after US shop sadly went under. They are happy to help keep their bikes on the road years after and are still higher quality compared to more “modern” looking E bikes that people have been jacking up the prices on over here in the US. 5/5 would recommend you get a leitner if you’re thinking of getting your own electric bike.

I purchased an older model (Berlin cruiser) in 2017 which was great (I gave it 5 stars) however it was stolen a year ago. I purchased the same newer model in October 2019. The newer model was slightly more expensive and has a side stand, instead of a central stand which was great, and a slightly shorter frame. I had an issue with the lowest speed setting being faster than the old model. When I complained about this to Leitner they were kind enough to provided me with an old model controller (free). They also gave me a new rear wheel (rim and sp...

I am really happy with my Leitner Berlin Cruiser - the quality is excellent and it is fabulous to ride. Without any fuss, Leitner promptly sent, by express post, a replacement for the LCD screen which was damaged during shipping. It has been a pleasure purchasing from Leitner.

Prompt delivery even with COVID restrictions. Came well packaged with minimal assembly being required.
My first ebike but very easy to get used too. Really glad to have the reassurance of that extra power at the touch of a button - those long steep slopes are not so daunting anymore. Great bike.

Questions & Answers

I am keen to get 2 ebikes. May I know where are the bikes made?
I believe they are put together in factory in Dandenong Sth, Vic. I love my cruiser.

Hi. The Pedal assist on my Berlin Cruiser goes from low to high when pressing the (+) button but does not decrease in power at all when pressing the (- ) button. I need to switch the battery off if I need it to start at "low" again. Could the actual pedal assist, now become faulty after all this time. Does anyone else have / had this issue? If so, how was it rectified? Thanks. Gary.
Has anyone changed their handle bars on the Berlin Cruiser? I love the bike, but would feel more comfortable with a wider handle bar. Has anyone done this, and if so what did you change to.
