If somebody wants an electric bike then a better non-electric bike isn't a workable substitute. It's the electric part that is the selling point.
Yup, agreed. Just thought I'd point this out is all. I would still encourage people to go non-electric if possible, only because of the health gains it provides.
Further, is this bike legal here? Does it need approval? Can it be ridden on the road legally?
why wouldn't it? in NSW atleast bicycles are not allowed on footpath, so riders are meant to ride on the road anyway.
@hippo2s: Adults are allowed on some footpaths. Children up to 16yo are allowed on all footpaths and adults carrying children or accompanying children are allowed on footpaths as well. Either way e-bikes need to conform to certain power restrictions so approval to use in Australia is important.
Agreed.
With low-end Shimano gears, and a hub motor, it is only for on-road use, or good tracks.The 55Nm from hub motor is no good in MTB conditions.

Do you take Czechs ?
I'm intrigued:
- All of the testimonials are from overseas, but some state they purchased from Leon Cycle (via Amazon in various countries).
- The site shows 30% off for 'opening special'.
How long have you been trading in Australia?
Are these products certified for use in Australia?According to their website:
Started trading January 2019
It's a pedelec so the motor size of 250w complies with the standard (EN 15194:2009). The compliance label should be just next to the crank.
A quick check of ABN:
LEON CYCLE PTY LTD
Active from 06 Jul 2018
Main business location: SA 5063Address as per website: Address: 2/7 Anzed Court, MULGRAVE, VIC, 3170, AU
Search of address returned business name of Argus Technologies (Home cinema etc)
I'd be careful.
Hey, it is a real business address.
Office and warehouse, not somebody's parents garage.Were you expecting a high-street shop front?
What even are you on about? Did you even read the comment?
It's a $1000 bike…
…take out the elec components and the specs read more like $300-400 :P
And why would you take the electrics out of an electric bike?
@hippo2s: …a C class that you've got to push Fred Flintstone style with a hole cut through the floor pan. Beep Beep.
I'm implying that for $1000 if the shop did a runner it's not a deal breaker and you'd get $1k value out of the item.
I haven't shopped for electric bikes for a while but if it's a $300-$400 bike bare then $600 for the electric kit already fitted and with batteries seems fair.
Seems like a decent bike with pretty good entry level parts.
Dosent say what brand the battery cells are.
Doesn't look like this would handle much more than easy single track runs. I wouldn't be using this for any proper mountain biking. Likely a good commuter bike, but better bikes can be had for the price (minus electric) for road use.
