Leon Cycle NCM Moscow Plus
Price: $1899 AUD Motor: 250W hub Battery: 768 Wh Range: 120 km
Pros
- Longest range of the three bikes compared here — up to 120 km on a 768 Wh battery
- Lightest of the three at 27 kg, easier to lift onto a rack or carry upstairs
- Sold directly through Leon Cycle Australia with a verifiable local product page and distribution
Cons
- Hub-drive motor rather than mid-drive — less ideal for very steep, technical climbs than a dedicated e-MTB
- At $1899 it's the middle price of the three bikes compared here, not the cheapest
Engwe Engine Pro
Price: $1599 AUD Motor: 250W hub Battery: 748 Wh Range: 100 km
Pros
- Large 748 Wh battery gives a claimed range of up to 100 km on a single charge
- 250W hub motor ships in a road-legal configuration for Australian roads and paths (25 km/h assist cut-out)
- Competitive $1599 AUD price for the battery capacity on offer
Cons
- At 33 kg it's on the heavier side, harder to lift onto a car rack or carry upstairs
- The original Engine Pro model appears to have been discontinued by Engwe, which now sells the Engine Pro 2.0 and Engine Pro 3.0 Boost instead
The Engine Pro model featured here appears to be discontinued — Engwe's current lineup only lists the Engine Pro 2.0 and Engine Pro 3.0 Boost, with different specs. We couldn't confirm an Australian reseller stocking this exact model. Official site.
