Comments
The Leitner Milan Cruiser has a step-through frame and height-adjustable handlebars, which can make for a very comfortable sitting position. However, the comfort level of the handles themselves is low as the right handle incorporates a twist-throttle (6kp/h), which can feel awkward. It's motor is powerful enough to make hills easy to climb, but a mid-to-high pedal assist level may be needed to get a good speed. The motor does have plenty of power, and this can be felt in jolts, especially when taking slow turns u002du002d something one has to get used to.
