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 GTS has a powerful and silent Bafang M420 Mid-Drive Motor to spice up your commute, make hills feel flat and effortlessly get you up to speed. The Pedal-Assist system, with 5 levels of power-assist, keeps you in full control of the 250w output. The Enviolo seamless gearing and Gates carbon belt drive perfectly pairs with the mid-drive Motor, ensuring the smoothest ride, every time.

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 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 it on the road, off the road, on gravel and through light mud. 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 intelligent TFT displays on our GTS bikes have an IPX7 rating, meaning they are fully water proof 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 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.

The motor of your eBike will be capped at 25km/h in line with regulations, however your eBike will not be gated and would allow you to pedal as fast as you want (also beyond 25km/h) using your legs. You would then pedal without further assistance as you would on any conventional bike.

Oh yes. 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.
