Comments
Leitner's SuperT is a rear hub-drive bike with a large battery, and it can be folded up for storage, or when transporting it to another location. It's 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.
