Is it for you?
We have not ridden this bike. This read is based on the spec sheet and Australian seller information, not a test ride.
Best suited to
Riders who want a light, fast-rolling flat-bar commuter rather than a cruiser.

What is the range of the Leitner Ultimate 700C?
The Leitner Ultimate 700C has a claimed range of 35 to 80 km from its 360Wh battery. Real-world range is usually lower than the claim, since it depends on assist level, rider weight, terrain and wind.

How much does the Leitner Ultimate 700C weigh?

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.
