Good question. Amsterdam Urban is our mid-motor eBike with an automatic 3-speed hub. It’s the perfect commuter electric bike, agile in every urban environment, ideal for quick rides to and from work (and everywhere in between).

Amsterdam GTS gives some serious oomph on those longer adventures. The M420 Mid-drive motor by Bafang, together with the Enviolo CT integrated hub provides a heavy power boost and full control when riding.

Ah, you must be a serious electric cycling tech-head. OK here goes.

The Amsterdam GTS electric bike has a Bafang M420 Mid-Drive Motor, which serves up a maximum torque of more than 80Nm – one of the most powerful eBike motors around. Talking of power, you can tackle climbs with gradients up to 25%, no sweat (OK, maybe just a tiny bit). But no matter how hard you ride, it’s super silent.

The Amsterdam GTS features five assist levels that allow you to adjust how much power the motor provides, helping you fine-tune your ride. Whether you need a gentle boost or maximum support for effortless cruising, you can easily select the perfect level of assistance.

The Enviolo® stepless gearing offers smooth and continuous transitions between resistance levels, allowing you to effortlessly adjust your cadence. You can shift without interruption, whether you’re starting from a standstill or cruising along at speed. The combination of both systems ensures a smooth, natural, and customizable riding experience every time.

Yes, we are very proud to let you know our Gen3 eBikes meet the EN 15194 standard and have been thoroughly tested and certified by the TüV (an independent testing facility that tests, inspects, and certifies products).

Since we believe in offering our riders a joyful and worry-free eBike experience, our eBikes are designed with safety as a priority every step of the way. They are built around high-quality, complete eBike systems that have been thoroughly tested for electrical and fire protection.

Great, but what is the EN 15194 Certification exactly?

EN 15194 is a standard that specifies requirements and test methods for the safety, performance, and design of e-bikes before they are deemed safe for riders and the public. It’s mainly developed for regulating e-bikes in European Union countries and covers common hazards and hazardous events related to e-bikes. In most of Europe, manufacturers are not obligated to comply with EN 15194—the UK and France being exceptions, where compliance with the standard is mandatory.

When an e-bike is indicated as meeting the EN 15194 standard, it also meets the standards for mechanical parts outlined in ISO 4210. Furthermore, it has passed comprehensive safety assessments that test and evaluate significant areas of the bike, including its braking performance, electrical system safety, stability, and durability, making it less at risk of accidents and malfunctions and promoting rider and road user safety.

EN 15194 also ensures that the e-bike meets specific performance criteria to deliver a consistent and reliable riding experience by subjecting the e-bike to testing that evaluates parameters such as power assistance levels, speed limitation, and range estimation.

Yes, they are! All our batteries undergo a rigorous certification process to ensure they are safe. Our batteries have obtained the CE testing and certification process and have the UN38.3 (certification for lithium batteries) and NEN-EN15194 certification for the European eBike directive. But that’s not all: in addition, we also have the CE-EMC certification and IEC 62133. 

How do you test the batteries? 

Together with our European assembly partner, we test our batteries during and at the end of the assembly process. These tests ensure that our batteries are completely waterproof, have total capacity, and have perfect working connections before they reach our customers. 

Do your batteries have internal management systems (BMS)?

Our batteries come with a Battery Management System (or in short, BMS) that protects them against everything from short circuits and too high or low temperatures. 

The BMS is designed to prevent damage to the battery by monitoring and regulating charging and discharging, as well as the battery's overall health. This ensures that our batteries are safe and reliable for our customers. Lastly, the BMS allows us to make quick and easy diagnoses of the battery and will enable us to repair and maximize the product life cycle.

First up, yes every LEKKER eBike has a removable battery, so you don’t have to take the whole eBike inside for charging. Plus, upgrading or replacing’s easy. Which brings us to question 2. Here are the battery specs for the Amsterdam GTS.

Standard: 36v 14 Ah, 504Wh capacity Range: up to 100km
Upgrade: 36v 17.5 Ah, 630Wh capacity Range: up to 140km

The frame number of your LEKKER Bike is located at the bottom bracket area or motor housing, next to the right pedal above the mid-motor in the lower middle of the frame.

The Amsterdam GTS’s M420 Mid-drive motor by Bafang, paired with the Enviolo City Stepless shifting and integrated hub, gives a hefty power boost and full control when riding. The Enviolo hub allows shifting at a standstill and easy riding in a stop-and-go situation. It laughs at locked gearing system problems. And with its 310% ratio, it’s perfect for urban commuting and longer weekend rides.

The really cool thing about the premium CDX belt is that it’s made with stretch-free carbon fibre cords. Plus the advanced urethane technology means the belt’s weather-resistant, flexible and durable. Best of all, that means low noise and zero maintenance.

The Amsterdam GTS eBike comes with Schwalbe G-One Allround 57mm wide puncture resistant tyres, allowing easy rides on gravel and long dirt tours. Together with the powerful Mid-drive Motor by Bafang, the Amsterdam GTS can easily take you on comfortable off road explorations.

Yes! The Amsterdam GTS eBike is fitted with the Litemove SE-70 front light and the Buechell Nano COB integrated seat post lights which are both STVZO approved. Lights are display-operated and powered by the battery.

The intelligent TFT displays on our GTS bikes have an IPX7 rating, meaning they are fully waterproof and protected against water, dust, oil and other non-corrosive material.

We’re not going to answer that because it would be a Very Bad Thing To Do. We want you and your fellow road users to stay safe. And we’re law-abiding people. So you need to know that riding tuned eBikes with a speed limit above 25km/h is against the law. It will void the warranty on your Dutch eBike and your insurance coverage too. Plus, it can have serious legal consequences. Like we said, a Very Bad Thing To Do.

Sure. The GTS’s powerful high-torque Bafang M420 Mid-Motor is up to the task of hauling around your sprogs, dogs and, er, logs. The maximum combined tow rating is 45kg (trailer & payload), so don’t let a mate clamber in, however funny it might seem at the time.

You’ll need to buy the additional Thule Internal Hub Hitch Adapter SRAM, M10x1.0 (Thule Part #20100798) for it to be secured onto the GTS’s Enviolo Axle. This replaces the rear left-hand axle nut to allow the Thule EzHitch Cup to be fitted. Please make sure you follow all the installation instructions correctly. If you’re a bit nervous putting stuff together, we suggest getting help from your friendly neighbourhood bike professional.

The Amsterdam GTS is a great parent-bike. With its M420 mid motor this eBike is plenty powerful to effortlessly transport you plus your child in the back. As long as the max load remains under 115KG.

The Enviolo Stepless Gearing will allow you to shift from a standstill and stop and go without worries. You’ll be able to cruise comfortably at 25km/h.

This eBike is not suitable for a front child seat, but if you install our Gen2 rear rack, you can attach a rear child seat for children up to 25 kg. The seat can be easily removed from your Amsterdam GTS eBike. Simply add the rear rack and child seat to your purchase, and you're ready to ride!
