Our verdict
Legal in 8 of 8 states and territories today
Road-legal in all eight states and territories, with nothing scheduled to change that. It's a 250 W folder whose motor helps only while you pedal, up to 25 km/h, plus a 6 km/h walk mode. At $1,499 it's the cheapest bike we list that passes everywhere.
NCM Paris verdict in each state
In all eight: Fits every state's 250 W pedal-assist class: 250 W rated, assistance stops by 25 km/h, no throttle above 6 km/h.

Why it gets these verdicts
The Paris and the dearer Paris+ look almost the same, and Leon puts them side by side on one spec table, but the law treats them very differently. The plain Paris has a walk mode only: hold a button and it rolls at 6 km/h. The Paris+ manual describes a throttle to 25 km/h, which no state allows. If you're choosing between the two, that's the deciding difference.
As with every Leon bike, the EN 15194 claim comes from a standards line Leon prints on each product page; its certification page adds a NSW Fair Trading certificate for the Paris series, approved for all states.

Das-Kit R2S rear hub motor, 250 W rated, 350 W peak, maximum speed 25 km/h. (Leon Cycle, checked )
Walk mode moves the bike at 6 km/h without pedalling; the maximum load is 125 kg including the bike. (NCM Paris owner's manual, checked )
It folds around a 540 Wh battery good for up to 90 km by Leon's figure, weighs 24 kg, and is $1,499 until the sale ends on 31 October 2026. (Leon Cycle, checked )
Who it suits
A folder suits a flat with no bike storage, a car boot, or a train leg on the commute. Two checks before you buy: the load limit leaves about 101 kg for rider and bags, and 20-inch wheels feel twitchier at speed than a full-size bike.
Leon also sells the Paris+, with a bigger battery and a throttle; read its page before choosing it, because the throttle changes the legal answer.
