You may not yet aware of the Leon Cycle company name, but there’s a good chance that you’ve seen their first bike brand, NCM. The brand name is derived from ‘Nickel Cobalt Magnesium’, the make-up of the battery. It’s only their ‘first’ brand because this year they’ll be launching two new brands. NCM will launch a new range of city bikes C5/C7 and a new brand ET.Cycle will cover fat series ebikes F720/F1000.
