The NCM Paris is a folding e-bike sold in Australia at $1,799 (price checked 14 Sep 2026). It pairs a Das-Kit R2S hub drive motor, a 540Wh battery rated for up to 90km, 20-inch wheels, and weighs 24kg. It is listed as a 250W pedal-assist e-bike limited to 25 km/h for Australian roads.
Is it for you?
Best suited to
Apartment dwellers and mixed-mode commuters who need a light 20-inch folder with a 540Wh battery for the train or car boot.
Standout strength
A 540Wh battery on a 24kg folding e-bike at a budget price, with disc brakes and a proven Das-Kit hub motor.
The main compromise
Small 20-inch wheels and mechanical disc brakes, and a rear-hub motor that works harder on hills than the mid-drive Max.
Consider something else if
You climb a lot of hills and would prefer the mid-drive Paris Max, or you want larger wheels for a smoother ride.
Check before you buy
Confirm the current price and stock with Leon Cycle, and check whether your batch has the standard or European brake layout.

Common questions
How much does the NCM Paris cost in Australia?
The NCM Paris 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 14 Sep 2026.
Is the NCM Paris road legal in Australia?
Yes. The NCM Paris 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 Paris?
The NCM Paris has a claimed range of about 90 km from its 540Wh 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 Paris have?
The NCM Paris uses a Das-Kit R2S motor, in a rear hub position.
How much does the NCM Paris weigh?
The NCM Paris weighs about 24 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 Paris 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.
