Good question. Amsterdam Urban is our lightweight rear motor eBike with 7-speed gearing. It’s the perfect 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.

Amsterdam GTS is a little heavier with a slightly larger frame and a more upward seating position, which lots of riders find more comfortable. The Max 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.

One question at a time please, don’t rush us. OK. 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 10.4Ah, 373 Wh capacity Range: up to 70km
Upgrade: 36v 14Ah, 504 Wh capacity Range: up to 100km

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.

The Amsterdam GTS’s gear ratio is optimal for crusing up hill and on flat areas. It has a cool torque sensor that constantly measures how hard you pedal and calculates how much extra oomph to give you. Pedal more? More help. Less? You guessed it – less. Or in normal language, you get to turbo through traffic.

Yes! The Amsterdam GTS eBike is fitted with the Litemove SE-70 front light and the Buechell Nano COB integrated fender 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.

But wait! Although your motor’s capped at 25km/h, your belt drive 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.

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.
