Is it for you?
Best suited to
Step-through commuters and touring riders who want a very large battery and hydraulic brakes for long days out.
Standout strength
An 882Wh Samsung-cell battery with a claimed 50 to 123km range, the biggest in Leitner's range, plus Tektro hydraulic brakes.
The main compromise
The 43Nm hub is the same modest motor as Leitner's cheaper bikes, so the extra money buys range rather than climbing power.
Consider something else if
Your rides are short, where the Venice Cruiser does the job for less.

Common questions
How much does the Leitner Riviera cost in Australia?
The Leitner Riviera is listed at $2,199 (sale price at leitner.com.au). eBikeFinder checks pricing against manufacturer and distributor information, and prices can change with sales and stock. This price was last checked on 9 Oct 2026.
Is the Leitner Riviera road legal in Australia?
Yes. The Leitner Riviera is a 250W pedal-assist e-bike that stops assisting at 25 km/h, which meets the road-legal e-bike standard in every Australian state. It ships with a throttle; on a road-legal e-bike the throttle must not propel the bike above 6 km/h, so check how the throttle is set for your state. Compliance is asserted by the brand rather than independently verified, so confirm the current spec with the seller.
What is the range of the Leitner Riviera?
The Leitner Riviera has a claimed range of 50 to 123 km from its 882Wh battery. Real-world range is usually lower than the claim, since it depends on assist level, rider weight, terrain and wind.
What motor does the Leitner Riviera have?
The Leitner Riviera uses a XOFO 36V rear hub motor, in a rear hub position, producing 43Nm of torque.
How much does the Leitner Riviera weigh?
The Leitner Riviera weighs about 27 kg. That matters if you need to lift it onto a car rack, carry it up stairs, or store it, since e-bikes are heavier than regular bikes because of the motor and battery.
Who sells and backs the Leitner Riviera in Australia?
The Leitner range is distributed in Australia by Leitner (Melbourne). Buying from a brand with real Australian support matters most when something needs a warranty claim or a service.
