Is it for you?
Best suited to
Taller riders and anyone who prefers a step-over frame, wanting a simple, low maintenance city bike at Lekker's entry price.
Standout strength
Three frame sizes covering riders up to 205cm, a 500Wh battery and an 8-speed Shimano hub, at 24kg.
The main compromise
A 45Nm front hub motor and a 100kg maximum load are modest, and it was out of stock when checked.
Consider something else if
You want mid-drive torque for steep hills. The Amsterdam GTS has a mid-drive and belt.
Check before you buy
Check the size chart against your height, and confirm stock before ordering.
