4 Key Considerations When Buying an eBike

4 Key Considerations When Buying an eBike

Choosing the right electric bike is always a hard decision, but here at LEKKER Bikes, we will make sure to give you all the necessary information to make the right choice. 

1) Find Your Perfect Style

Since you'll be riding your eBike every day, why not choose one that matches your style and needs? LEKKER Bikes offers a wide range of options with two main ranges: Jordaan and Amsterdam.

The Jordaan Range

The Jordaan is a modern interpretation of the classic Dutch bike design, featuring a step-through frame for an upright seating position that keeps you comfortable and free from back pain. For the Jordaan eBikes, choose between the warm and cozy olive green or the standard and classic black. 

Within the Jordaan range, we offer two models:

  • Jordaan Urban: This model features an integrated button that lets you easily choose one of three motor support levels, ensuring a smooth, fuss-free ride.
  • Jordaan GTS: Ideal for longer rides, this model packs more power and includes a handlebar display to control power, lights, and select between five levels of assistance. Perfect for any adventure.

The Amsterdam Range

The Amsterdam collection highlights a sleek, modern aesthetic with minimalist details and advanced engineering. Featuring a step-over frame, it’s perfect for commuters who want a timeless silhouette.  For the sleek Amsterdam eBikes, we offer beautiful alpine white and classic black color options.

Like the Jordaan range, the Amsterdam range offers two options to suit different types of riders:

  • Amsterdam Urban: This model combines simplicity, durability, and performance with a lightweight design. An integrated button lets you easily choose between three motor support levels, so you can focus on enjoying the ride.
  • Amsterdam GTS: An enhanced version of the Amsterdam Urban, the GTS is ideal for long-distance rides. It includes an integrated display to track your movements and offers up to five assistance levels.

At LEKKER Bikes, there's always something for everyone.

2) Find your frame size

When riding your eBike, comfort is key, which is why choosing the right size for your height is essential. The Jordaan eBikes, with a 45 cm frame size, are ideal for riders between 155 and 195 cm tall. On the other hand, the Amsterdam eBikes offer two frame sizes to accommodate different heights. The 56 cm frame suits those who are 165 to 185 cm tall, while the 60 cm frame is perfect for riders between 185 and 205 cm tall. If you're unsure about which size to choose, we're here to help!

3) Choose the Battery for Your Needs

Are you a long-distance adventurer, a short-ride commuter, or somewhere in between? It's time to select the best battery for your needs. LEKKER Bikes offers two battery options: 378Wh and 504Wh. The 378Wh battery provides up to 70 km on a single charge. For longer distances, the 504Wh battery allows you to travel up to 100 km on a single charge. Choose the power that matches your riding style and enjoy the journey!

4) Enjoy a Worry-Free Ride with Our Advanced Carbon Belt Drives

Avoid the hassle of a rusting, stuck, or broken bike chain by opting for our advanced eBike chain technology. Both our Amsterdam and Jordaan ranges feature the Gates CDX belt drive. This carbon belt drive ensures exceptional durability, eliminating the need for lubrication and preventing rust. Enjoy a silent ride, free from motor and belt drive noise, with no maintenance required for up to 30,000 km.

Unlike other eBike brands, LEKKER Bikes eBikes are fully serviceable. We use standard components, so any reputable eBike mechanic can easily replace or repair parts if needed. Join the family and experience the difference!
