With its sleek design and eco-friendliness, LEKKER Bikes have seamlessly integrated into the lives of players like Jorrit Croon, Floris Wortelboer, Derck de Vilder and Jip Janssen, helping them navigate their busy schedules.
The Amsterdam Urban perfectly blends speed, ease, and energy conservation, essential for maintaining peak performance. Terrance Pieters highlights, “Riding through the city is amazing. I can cover longer distances effortlessly and feel fresh before training!” Jip Janssen adds, “I can easily navigate through Amsterdam to get coffee, go out for dinner or attend trainings without getting exhausted.” This combination of efficiency and convenience allows athletes to focus on their training while enjoying their daily commutes.
Sustainability is a core value for the team, aligning with their commitment to health and performance.
