We perform a model independent analysis of the production of scalar and vector leptoquarks in the $e^-\gamma$ mode of a linear collider of the next generation. Since these leptoquarks are produced singly, higher masses can be probed than in other collider modes, like $e^+e^-$ scattering. We discuss the discovery potential and show how polarization and angular distributions can be used to distinguish between the different types of leptoquarks.
