I did over 250km on rail trails on the Leitner fold up pick. It was a bit small for me but did a great job and folds up small enough to put in the back of the car. It was quite fun to ride too!
I own a Leitner Super-T and it's been on some shocking rough rail trails and it spends 50% of its time on dirt as I live in Ballan, Vic. A very robust bike, up to 7,000Km now with annual maintenance at my local bike shop, nothing's ever been done to it apart from a routine chain replacement , derailleur adjustment and brake blocks. I too load it up with panniers and take all my stuff with me including laptop etc. At the end of March I'm planning to V/Line to Wangaratta and ride to Bright via Beechworth oand back to Wangaratta over a few days.
Thanks for adding this comment. It really helps others looking here with making an educated decision. I have found the bike very handy and although I'm mostly riding my Dyson now another member of the Burra Crew is about to start riding using the Leitner. Very handy and folds up to a convenient size. Thanks for watching, always appreciated. Regards Peter.
Hi I bought them on eBay they are probably a bit large but I made them work. Roswheel 3 in 1 Multifunction Road MTB Mountain Bike Bag Pannier Rear. they are about $70.00 for the set. I have a set of rock Bros on my Dyson which are clip on (better) but I think they would be too long on the Leitner.
Hi Mike, you mentioned that you have fitted an extended seat post to your Leitner Super T. What height are you? Was the extended seat post readily available? Was it the correct diameter, or was it necessary to use shims to fit the seat tube?
Hi, Im about 176cm. I found the bike quite rideable but having moved to a much taller bike I now feel it was too short for me, certainly over long distances. However, I'm going to get a longer seat post for it because as a fold up bike really like it. Sitting higher will make it better for me.
Hi, sorry for the slow response I missed your message. I haven't yet and I need to. But I did over 200km in a pretty short time frame and with a couple of 40km rides. I really enjoyed those rides, I guess the first thing I noticed when I got on my full size Dyson was that I felt like I was really able to apply more of my energy through the pedals and the ride was a bit smoother. Plus I had the Dyson professionally set up for me. But the Leitner I would still be just as positive in the sense of practicality with the fold up, it was an easy ride and the battery range is pretty good (I did get the larger battery). Hope this helps.
I'm thinking of buying one of those as well. Great video

What brand and size panniers do you have on the Leitner Super T? I have a pair but, on a 26" wheel bike, they might be too large to fit a Super T.

Considering buying this bike. Concerned about the range of seat height adjustment. How tall are you, if it was too small for you?

@@BurraCountry Thanks Peter. Have you done the 100 km review mentioned in this video?

I also bought an extended seat post so I could do a full stretch on the down stroke when pedalling.
