The NCM Paris Max is a folding e-bike sold in Australia at $1,999 (price checked 9 Oct 2026). It pairs a Bafang mid drive motor, a 504Wh battery rated for up to 100km, 20-inch wheels, and weighs 25kg. 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
City riders who want mid-drive climbing and low-maintenance internal-hub gears in a compact folding e-bike.
Standout strength
A genuine Bafang mid-drive with a Shimano Nexus internal-gear hub in a 25kg folder, unusual at this size and price.
The main compromise
Currently out of stock, and the 504Wh battery is smaller than the standard Paris. Roller and mechanical disc brakes rather than hydraulic.
Consider something else if
You want to spend less and can accept a rear-hub motor and derailleur gears (see the standard Paris).
Check before you buy
Confirm restock and the current price with Leon Cycle before ordering. Check whether your batch has the standard or European brake layout.

Common questions
How much does the NCM Paris Max cost in Australia?
The NCM Paris Max is listed at $1,999 (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 Paris Max road legal in Australia?
Yes. The NCM Paris Max 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 Max?
The NCM Paris Max 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 Paris Max have?
The NCM Paris Max uses a Bafang motor, in a mid-drive position. Mid-drive motors climb hills better because they work through the bike's gears.
How much does the NCM Paris Max weigh?
The NCM Paris Max 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 Paris Max 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.
