NCM Moscow Plus

Our verdict

The Moscow Plus is the best-specced of the three bikes we compare it against here on paper: the largest battery (768 Wh), the longest claimed range (120 km) and the lightest overall weight (27 kg) — an unusual combination, since capacity and weight normally trade off against each other. As always, treat the 120 km claim as a ceiling rather than an expectation; real range depends heavily on rider weight, terrain and assist level.

It's marketed and sold as an electric mountain bike, but it runs a 250W hub motor rather than a mid-drive unit, which matters if steep, technical single-track climbing is the primary use case — hub motors generally deliver less usable torque on grades than a mid-drive paired with the bike's own gearing. For mixed on-road/light-trail riding, which covers most Australian buyers, that distinction matters less.

The clearest practical advantage over the other two bikes in this comparison is availability: Leon Cycle Australia sells it directly with a verifiable local product page, in-stock status and Australian warranty support, rather than relying on grey-market imports or discontinued stock. Leon Cycle listed it from $2,199 when we checked on 15 August 2026. That makes it the most expensive of the three bikes compared here, but the local distribution is worth weighing against that premium if buyer protection matters to you.

This assessment is based on Leon Cycle's published specifications — not on hands-on testing. We'll update this review with first-hand riding impressions if we get time on the bike.
