Good question. Jordaan Urban is our lightweight front motor eBike with 7-speed gearing. It’s the perfect step-through commuter electric bike, agile in every urban environment, ideal for quick rides to and from work (and everywhere in between). Oh, and it’s super-responsive too.

Jordaan GTS is a little heavier with a slightly larger frame. The Mid-drive motor by Bafang, together with the Enviolo 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 Jordaan Urban has a powerful Bafang FM G311 Front Hub Motor to spice up your commute, make hills feel flat and effortlessly get you up to speed. With 3 levels of power-assist, keeps you in full control of the 250w output with the Bafang button integrated in the top tube. The Shimano Nexus 7 Speed gearing hub is the best fitting lightweight gearing hub that syncs perfectly with the Front Hub Motor.

The powerful and silent Bafang M420 Mid-Drive Motor on the Jordaan GTS does everything the Jordaan Urban can and way more. The Enviolo stepless gearing and Gates carbon belt drive perfectly pairs with the mid-drive Motor, ensuring the smoothest ride, every time.

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 Jordaan range.

Jordaan Urban
Standard: 36v 10.4Ah, up to 373Wh capacity Range: up to 70km
Upgrade: 36v 14Ah, up to 504Wh capacity Range: up to 100km

Jordaan GTS
Standard: 36v 10.4Ah, up to 373Wh capacity Range: up to 70km
Upgrade: 36v 14Ah, up to 504Wh capacity Range: up to 100km

Go for it. You can take both the Jordaan Urban and the Jordaan GTS eBikes on the road, off the road, or on gravel. All-purpose for everyday cycling (but the experience is far from same-old, same-old). But it’s probably best to stay off the mountains and hardcore mudtracks though.

The Jordaan GTS's Seekrun TFT displays have an IPX7 rating, meaning they are fully waterproof and protected against, dust, oil and other non-corrosive material.

The Jordaan Urban's Bafang LED button has an IPX5 rating meaning it's water-resistant as well as protected against, 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 eBike and your insurance coverage too. Plus, it can have serious legal consequences. Like we said, a Very Bad Thing To Do.

But wait! Although your motor’s capped at 25km/h, your eBike won’t be gated. So if you feel the need for speed (and your legs are strong like Marianne Vos) you can pedal as fast as you want.

It sure is. Our bikes are made for babies (as passengers – babies aren’t great at riding bikes). They’re sturdy, light and comfortable – perfect for taking junior on an adventure. We don’t sell baby seats, but we can recommend the Bobike One, which fits perfectly on both the Jordaan Urban and the Jordaan GTS eBikes.

Just the Jordaan GTS eBikes. Only 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.
