Is it for you?
Best suited to
Riders who want a light 18kg city e-bike with a torque sensor for flat urban commuting.
Standout strength
An 18kg weight and a torque sensor make it ride like a normal road bike.
The main compromise
Rim caliper brakes and narrow 30c tyres, and out of stock when checked.
Consider something else if
You need disc brakes or gears for hills, where the C7 steps up.
Check before you buy
Register for a restock notice, and pick Medium or Large from Leon Cycle's sizing table.

Common questions
How much does the NCM C5 cost in Australia?
The NCM C5 is listed at $1,499 (drive-away). 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 NCM C5 road legal in Australia?
Yes. The NCM C5 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. Compliance is asserted by the brand rather than independently verified, so confirm the current spec with the seller.
What is the range of the NCM C5?
The NCM C5 has a claimed range of about 100 km from its 504Wh 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 NCM C5 have?
The NCM C5 uses a Das-Kit X2 motor, in a rear hub position.
How much does the NCM C5 weigh?
The NCM C5 weighs about 18 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 NCM C5 in Australia?
The NCM range is distributed in Australia by Leon Cycle Australia (direct to consumer). It comes with a Via Leon Cycle Australia warranty. Buying from a brand with real Australian support matters most when something needs a warranty claim or a service.
