Leon Cycles NCM C7 e-commuter review: an accessibly priced around-town ebike
The big questions when searching for an e-commuter bike are how much bike do I need, and how much do I have to spend to get it? This spring I got to demo an, an e-commuter that provides the basic necessities but forgoes some luxuries to keep its price at entry-level.
The C7’s instruction manual does not specify how long it takes to charge the battery, it only tells you it’s ready when the charger’s light turns green. Simple enough, but it would be nice to know the charge time! After draining the battery a few times, I found out a full charge takes 5-6 hours. I did find the standover height on the high side at 835mm. Some people might struggle throwing a leg over the frame’s horizontal top tube, and the medium frame is only a bit lower at 800mm.
On my early production bike, when I got cranking along at a good speed, then took a rest, then started cranking again, I’d feel resistance for about 5 seconds as the motor caught up to my speed and pedalling force. At first I assumed this was totally normal for the hub motor, and wasn’t too concerned as it was a small price to pay for the satisfying boost the bike does provide overall. However, as my test went on I found this quirk increasingly more annoying.
