Great for farm trails – Amazing bike for the price. We have three on our farm now. Delivery was in 2 days after order (NSW). Show details
Leitner Fat E-bike – My Fat Bike turned up a few days ago and I am very impressed with it. Any where you look on the bike it is dripping in high quality parts, the welds on the frame to the suspension handle bar components and great gearing. This bike goes so well and I am 105kg I have been out on bush tracks and the road and every minute it puts a smile on your face. Those fat tyres are a real head tuner so be prepared to stop and chat about your bike. Show details
Leitner Fat Bike – A fantastic bike, I am 70 years old and I like a little bit of speed. I have done nearly 3000 km on this bike and have so much fun with its acceleration and general ride. I would highly recommend this bike to anyone who wants a little bit more on an e-bike, this bike has it all! Show details
Excellent bike – The bike arrived within a couple of days and was easy to put together. My 12km commute is easy and fun on this bike, and I just use the first level of assistance. It does well on sealed road and through dirt and sand. I highly recommend this bike. Show details
Simply the best – Best decision ever made. Not only on a great bike but undoubtedly the best customer service I have ever experienced. At 72 I thought I’d seen it all but this company is on a different level, we could all learn something about customer service from this company. The fat bike suits me perfectly, off road, beach, any conditions, this bike just seems to revel anywhere. Highly regarded and recommended. Show details
Pretty good so far – Tried it out as is. I'm on a farm, paddocks are cool but very bumpy, some steep gullies. Looks like all first gear for me. It flies on the gravel driveway though hahaha. I took a couple of tries getting the yoke and bars setup for me right. Now I'm going to deflate the tyres so I don't feel like I've been in a footy game. If you want the closest… Read more · 4
equivalent to a farm (motor) bike it's great. Quiet, cows don't mind it, should be good for checking new calves dawn and dusk. It's a typically, high quality, Australian product. Yep, I'd recommend it.
Fantastic customer service – I recently purchased a new Leitner Fat Bike to take on our new Motorhome, delivery was only three day, fantastic. Stupidly I did not read the manual and thus was unaware that they are not waterproof and she was uncovered for two days of very heavy rain on the back of the motorhome. We managed to get her going and riding along the beach at Yeppoon… Read more
was just sensational. Subsequently corrosion set in and she stopped.
Leitner's Kitty and Ed have been unbelievable in assisting to get her going, even to the extent of one on one calls to try to fix the issues. Customer service like this is very rare and the time they have spent trying to help is next level. Replies to my email questions were answered within an hour. Just fantastic.
Cannot recommend more highly, just wonderful support. Mike Yanco
Happy Customer – I have had my Fat Tire E bike for 2 years, Very happy with the quality and performance. Phone and email support on minor technical issues has been excellent. I would recommend this company over no name imports from companies that do not offer product back-up service. Show reply
Exceeded expectations by far – I have had this bike for over a year and have done over 700 km on it, Lots on the road but also lots through the bush. It is a great fun bike on and especially off-road. I weigh 100 kg and the battery gets about 30km of hard work of climbing and flat road and single trail. I imagine it would get twice that on just a flat road and more for a… Read more
lighter person. I have given this thing a reasonably hard time off-road and it has not let me down. I had crashed and broke the brake lever. Leitner had the new one in stock and I had it with a day of paying the invoice.
Still Fantastic 2 years on – Have had my Lightner-Electric-Fat-Bike for 2 years and clocked up 2000 km. Apart from normal wear and tear items (brakes, punctures), it has cost me nothing. Always reliable and still meets all my needs. Show details · 1
Fantastic off road e bike – Easy to assemble. On Day 1 I went bush & 25 km on dirt trails and some mountain tracks. Day 2, 20 km on the beach. The softer sand chewed through the battery a bit. But the bike feels fabulous and absolutely chews hills. Great customer service. Highly recommend Leitner. Show details

Totally liberating – I was immediately impressed and after I learnt to tune the programming it is amazing. I ride on fire trails with steep terrain. This bike climbs 500 feet up on dirt without any difficulty. A friend has now bought one and I have bought a CrossX for my wife. Show details
Even better than I expected – After my wife bought a Leitner Berlin Cruiser I was quite impressed with the quality - so got myself one of these Fat bikes - and if I’m completely honest I feel like a kid again with the amount I’m enjoying this bike! Really good, and can definitely recommend them. Having loads of fun. Show details
Great E Bike – Have done over 4700km in about a year on my Fat bike and it has been awesome. Does about 43kmh on full power and that gives you 20km of range. If you manage the battery with the pedal assist levels you can stretch the range to about 40km without sacrificing too much speed. Have heard the guys will be adding a longer range battery in the future… Read more
which will complement this bike even further. Really impressed with the product. Pro tip buy a 2nd battery so you can have a fresh ready to go as 5hrs charging can't be avoided.
Best E-bike I have owned – My hubby and I have gone through a couple of ebikes and leitner has completely blown us away. Best purchase we have made! Comfortable and an absolute blast when riding! We always get compliments! Show details
Great Fun – Awesome bikes, easy to assemble and brilliant fun to ride, couldn’t be happier… Well Done! Brought one for the wife and myself and we're rediscovering the joy of riding a bike all over again. Show details
Wow - I'm hooked – The ordering process was simple, delivery was fast and efficient. Assembling the bike was straightforward with no problems at all. I could wait for the weather to clear up and then off I went. This bike was perfect. I didn't want to stop riding it. Now I'm looking to buy some more for my family members. I cannot recommend Leitner highly enough based on my experience with this Electric Fat Bike. Show details
Totally exceeded our expectations – Totally exceeded our expectations, fantastic! Communication and service from leitner, fat bike works like a dream and very well made. We bought two and love them, we would highly recommend 100% Show details
Leitner E Fat Bike, Fantastic Value – I am still over the moon with just how good this fat bike it is to use off road. I had it couriered to Tassie and it was dead easy to assemble. I regularly use it for 30k rides with lots of hills and have done 700km without a hitch. Show details
Awesome ebike – This is the second one I have purchased as my first one was stolen.so that says it all about how much I like this bike.it is a mish mash of high quality components so spare parts shouldn't be a problem.i have 720 km on the Speedo and it's still as good as new minus a few scratches and worn tyres.the main thing with this bike is that it's great… Read more
fun.i just hope you don't mind people asking questions everywhere you go because it's a real head turner.cheers.steve!

Great Service, Excellent Quality Bike! – If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Ordering was easy, delivery was FAST! Hunter Freight picked up the bike from Melbourne on Tuesday and the bike was delivered to me in Sydney At midday on Wednesday! The packaging of the bike was excellent with not a scratch or mark present and Assembly was easy, only taking about 20 minutes. Build… Read more
quality of the bike is EXCELLENT! Way beyond what I expected fro the money. I was half expecting a decent quality Chinese build of bike, but if this is made in China they sure have a damn good factory! I am fussy when it comes to quality and eye for detail and I can’t fault a thing. Everything was adjusted and worked perfectly straight from the box. The tyres were even pumped up enough to go for a ride to the servo if you didn’t have a pump to adjust them correctly
Now for the best bit. This bike FLIES! 32kmh? I don’t think so, try more like 40 on the flat without pedalling and 50 down hill with some pedalling. Going up hill it is great! It will climb hills without effort and never dropped below 25kmh.
When cruising I find even the lowest pedal assist too much as it accelerates so fast that you have to stop pedalling all the time to slow down. So personally I have found that I prefer to set pedal assist to 0 and just use a tiny bit of throttle to cruise at the speed I want while I pedal at the correct rate.
As for noise I can nearly hear the motor at normal running. Big Tyres make a bit of noise over 15kmh.
Brakes are really good and stop well with no squeaking or grabbing. Seat is quite comfortable also and forks do a pretty good job too.
As for range, I haven’t tried throttle only for any period of time as I want to improve my fitness, however with easy pedalling and a little amount of throttle just to make things easier, I do 20kms and only drop one bar of battery, so 80ks would be very achievable I’d guess.
Overall this bike is EXCELLENT quality and value for money, in fact I doubt you would find better. I would highly recommend this bike to others and I’m sure you wouldn’t be disappointed. Time will tell how things last however all components are good brands and if out of warranty could easily be replaced.
I really LIKE this Electric Fat Mountain Bike – I am a older rider. I also have arthritis in my knees. This bike supports my weight and is helping me to get fit. I have lost kilos and just love this bike, It is a beauty. Regards from John. Show details
Exceeded my expectations ;-) – I purchased this bike for training and fitness. I am a 'older' rider and have knee osteo arthritis. I was already riding a Mountain Bike, and was finding that longer rides on the my 'normal' bike were starting to aggravate the knee. I find the best part of the Fat Bike is that rides are simply much more enjoyable. As they are more fun, I find… Read more
myself doing more rides, over longer distances. Normally, i would start to feel fatigued towards the end of the ride, now i enjoy the whole ride, as the assistance of the motor means return trips are not 'hard work'. I use my Fat Bike on a variety of Off Road terrains, including Rail Trails, Off Road Trails and Tracks, Coastal Riding (including Beach Locations *I always wash down the bike when using closer to beach locations) I am not a "downhill" cyclist, and did not purchase this bike with serious downhill use in mind. However, i do use the bike in trails that have a range of hills, undulations, uneven and rough single trail tracks and find the front suspension absorbs all of these well.
I am tall (184cm) and have found the height of the bike really suits me, and the adjustments available (seat, bars, levers, controls) allowed me to customize the bike to fit me very well.
The longest ride i have completed so far is 32km, and i had used 'throttle mode' during some of that ride. Throttle Mode does consume more battery, but is a lot of fun in the off road track sections. I had not ridden a Fat Bike before, however i have found the 'feel' of the Fat Bike was very easy to adjust to.
An important point on my decision to purchase this bike was also the price. There are a range of other EBike products available, and costs can be several thousand dollars more expensive. I have found this bike to be excellent "Bang for Buck"
I chose "PICK UP" for my bike. This saved me money. The communication from the Online Order process, through to the instructions of the pick up, and dealing with the Dispatch process was very clear, and was made simple. I also found Jen and Alex to be great at answering any questions i had when i rang the phone number. After sales service and support was excellent.
If you are concerned about the assembly of this bike, dont worry. Almost all the work is done when you receive the bike. Full instructions are provided, and for any questions, Jen and Alex have the answers.
In general, I would highly recommend this bike, especially for the first time Ebike user, or for a bike rider who enjoys their riding, but is looking for something 'easier' and more fun. I have a number of family members who have purchased Leitners (Cross X Models) since i bought mine, and they are also extremely happy.
Cheers, Gavin
This is the ebike I've been waiting for – This is a wonderful piece of equipment, I've been on grass, sand, tarmac, hills, it's all good. Plenty of torque, the controls are straightforward, assembly was easy, the controls for gears and throttle were exactly the same as my previous ebike, Was able to put some air in the tyres, check the brakes and take it out for a blast (it was fantastic… Read more
). A friend rode it yesterday and he was grinning like Daniel Ricciardo, so I guess I must look similar. Thanks for an awesome product.
