M3
Pedal-assist, rated to 250W, assist cuts at 25 km/h. Declared by the brand; declaration not independently sighted.
Is it for you?
Best suited to
Riders after an affordable hardtail eMTB for fire trails and gravel, offered in three wheel sizes to suit height.
Standout strength
A hydraulic-disc hardtail eMTB with a 576Wh battery and three wheel-size options, on sale under $1,800.
The main compromise
Rear-hub drive is less efficient on steep, technical climbs than a mid-drive, and the standard throttle raises compliance questions.
Consider something else if
You want mid-drive torque for serious climbing or a throttle-free pedelec.
Check before you buy
Pick the right wheel size for your height, and confirm the throttle mode and current sale price with Leon Cycle.

Common questions
How much does the NCM M3 cost in Australia?
The NCM M3 is listed at $1,799 (drive-away). eBikeFinder checks pricing against manufacturer and distributor information, and prices can change with sales and stock. This price was last checked on 2026-09-14.
Is the NCM M3 road legal in Australia?
Yes. The NCM M3 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 NCM M3?
The NCM M3 has a claimed range of about 110 km from its 576Wh 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 M3 have?
The NCM M3 uses a Das-Kit X15 motor, in a rear hub position.
How much does the NCM M3 weigh?
The NCM M3 weighs about 25 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 M3 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.
