NCM Hamburg
€1,199
The NCM Hamburg was NCM's entry-level electric city bike, with a rear hub motor and a 468 Wh battery housed under the rack, appreciated by German reviewers for its comfort and price. Heavy and technically basic, it is no longer listed by NCM or Leon Cycle, and French retailers show it as sold out. A model now confined to the second-hand market.
Best for: relaxed urban rides on flat groundtall riders (1.75 m to 2 m according to retailer listings)
