Note: We have to stress that this manual
won’t teach you the skills of a bicycle
mechanic. Even a manual as big as all
Harry Potters books together could not
describe every possible combination,
tricks and available components. For this
reason this manual only focuses on your
newly Lekker Bicycle, standard assembly
and drawing your attention to important
notes, warnings and maintenance.

CHAPTER 1
1. Congratulations! You are the proud owner of a brand new
E-Amsterdam. When you receive your bike, the first thing to
do is check that it has arrived in perfect condition, Open the
top of the box, and visually inspect the bike.
2. Remove the bike from the box, be careful, as E-bikes are
generally much heavier than standard bikes, so some help
maybe needed for this step. Once removed, you will find a
small accessory box, the charger box and of course your
bike!
3. For the correct assembly of your bike you will need the
following tools; 8mm/10mm/15mm spanners,
3/4/5/6mm Allen keys, a small amount of lithium grease
and a pump.
4. Remove all the packaging, cut the cable ties holding the
handlebars in place and proceed to step 5.
Getting started
CHAPTER 2
Handlebar fitment and
adjustment
5. Using a 4mm allen key, loosen the 4 bolts located on the front
of the stem, then place the handlebar in the stem and tighten to
5Nm, to centre and adjust the angle of the handlebar, loosen the
allen bolts of the front plate until you can move the handle bar
freely, once you have found your desired bar angle, tighten the
bolts to 5Nm.
PLEASE NOTE: you may have to adjust the screen angle to access
the handle bar bolts, to do this please refer to the screens user
manual.
6. Now it’s time to adjust the angle of the brake levers and gear
shifter to your desired position. Using a 5mm Allen key, loosen
the two bolts on each of the brake levers to allow you to move
them, once in the correct position tighten the bolts to the
manufacturer’s torque recommendation, PLEASE NOTE: you may
have to adjust the gear shifter position to allow you to move the
right hand lever, to do this, loosen the bolt with a 3mm allen key,
then perform the same steps as above, just remember to tighten
the shifter back up!

Assembly of the pedals
7. For the assembly of the pedals you will need a 15mm open
ended spanner, ATTENTION: Please make sure to check the
thread direction before inserting the pedals, as fitting the
pedal to the wrong side can damage the crank arm which is
not covered under warranty!. Apply some grease or anti seize
to the pedal threads and tighten to 40-42Nm torque,
PLEASE NOTE; It is very important to tighten the pedals to
the correct torque, as by not doing so will lead to the pedals
loosening and damaging the crank arm thread, which is not
covered under warranty!

CHAPTER 4
Adjusting gears and final
checks
The E-AMS comes fitted with the excellent Shimano NEXUS 8sp rear
hub, this allows gear changing without the need to pedal for
engagement, whilst we check all gear systems some cable stretch can
occur before, during and after the first few rides, check that your gears
are correctly aligned,To do this follow these easy steps:
8. Turn the gear shifter on the handlebar to position number 4. Now
check viewing window on the rear hub, there will be two yellow lines,
when they are lined up the hub is correctly adjusted. If they are out of
line, you will need to either tension, or loosen the cable, to do this, turn
the barrel adjuster located underneath the shifter clockwise to tighten,
anti clockwise to loosen. Check the two yellow lines are correctly lined
up and test ride the bike.
9.Using either ahand pumportrack pump,removethe valve covers on
both wheels,attach the pump headandinflatethe tyres to the
recommended pressure (usually printed on the sidewall of the
tyre)removepump andfitthe valve caps.
10.Check the brakesare working bypressingthe lever rapidly a few
time to allow pressure to build up in the system,liftthe wheel off the
ground andspin it, It should spin freely without noise, if you hear a
metallic rubbing sound then the brakeswill need adjusting,PLEASE
NOTE:the brakes will need checking before every ride, any anomalies
should be addressed before using the bike further.
11. To adjust the brakes, you will need a 5 mm allen key. Firstly
check the side mounted bolts to make sure they are secured
tightly, once this is done you can then proceed to adjust the
caliper, you will need to loosen the two 5mm allen key bolts
found on the top of the caliper, once done, you will then be able
to adjust the caliper horizontally so the disc rotor moves freely
between the brake pads. PLEASE NOTE; Disc brakes are
subjected to high temperatures and stresses, which can cause
the disc rotor to warp slightly, this is normal and can be
adjusted by bending the disc rotor back to its original position.
ATTENTION: If you do not feel comfortable adjusting the brakes
correctly, we recommend to always take your bicycle to a
trained mechanic for building/adjustment.
12. To adjust the saddle height, loosen the bolt on the seat post
collar using a 5mm allen key and remove the seat post
completely, apply a small amount of grease to the inside of the
frame, insert the seat post to the desired height and tighten the
collar to 5Nm. Check the saddle is correctly positioned and
retighten the 6mm bolt at the top of the seat post (located
under the saddle) to 17Nm.

CHAPTER 4
Adjusting gears and final
checks
13. To attach the front and rear lights and operate them you
will need a 5 mm allen key and a phillips head screwdriver.
Firstly you will need to make sure the lights are mounted
onto the bike. The front light is mounted on the front of the
fork just below the steer tube. To attach the light, you will
need to loosen the 5mm allen key bolt until it comes out.
Once out, insert the bolt through the metal mounting point
under the light and thread the bolt back onto the fork. Make
sure that the cable for the light is away from the front wheel
once mounted to reduce the chance of the cable getting
caught in the front wheel while being ridden.US ONLY:To
attach the rear light simply slide the light’s mounting collar
on to the seat post and tighten with a phillips head
screwdriver.
To operate the lights, make sure the battery is charged and
in the bike. Power up the bike, once the control screen has
turned on hold down the plus (+) button for 2 seconds to
turn on both the front and rear lights. To turn off the lights
hold down the plus (+) button for 2 seconds and the lights
will switch off.

CHAPTER 5
Turning on your E-Amsterdam
and charging
We know you are excited to try your E-AMS for the first time!
You‘re nearly there, just a few more steps before it’s ready to
go!
14. Before turning on your E-AMS, we recommend doing this
whilst sitting on the bike, this allows full control over the bike
and can avoid accidents. To turn your E-AMS on, using the
control module found on the left hand side of your bar, press
the power button for a few seconds to turn on your screen,
once turned on, you can then cycle through the assist modes
using the arrow buttons on the control module. For more in-
depth instructions for your screen, please refer to the
manufacturer's manual, found in PDF format online. PLEASE
NOTE: We recommend always using assist level 1 for starting,
as this will allow better control of the bike.
15. All batteries will come with some charge, to get the most
out of your battery, you may need to charge it before your
first ride. We recommend that for the first three charges, to
charge it for 12hr cycles, PLEASE NOTE: this will allow the
battery to have full charge capacity.

Removing your battery
CHAPTER 7
Battery care & general tips
for use
To ensure your battery lasts it’s full life cycle, there are a few
things you will need to do to ensure the correct working of the
battery.
1. First charge, when you receive your bike, you will need to cycle
charge the battery for 12hr for the first 3 charges, this will ensure
the battery can hold the correct amount of charge.
2. Your bike will come with two keys for the battery lock, it is very
important to keep these safe, as Lekker Bikes do not carry
replacements.
3. If you place the bike in storage, remove the battery from the
bike, charge to around 60% charge capacity and store in a cool
dry place, covered. This will ensure no damage or moisture build
up will occur, check the battery every 3 months, and charge to
60% if needed,
ATTENTION: If the battery is stored fully discharged for a long
time, it may result in damage despite the low self-discharge rate
and charge capacity may be substantially reduced.

4.All batteries and frames arewater resistant, not
waterproof,if you are storing the bike outside overnight, or
for long periods of time, please ensure the battery is
removed and kept inside, and the bike is correctly covered
and stored.
5. Nevercharge batteries inhigh humidity areas or
outdoors, doing so may result in electric shock.
6. Do not remove or insert the plug if it’s wet, as this may
cause electric shocks. If the plug is wet, completely dry
before using.
7. Ensure the battery or charging cables are removed before
maintenance or repairs are carried out.
8. All out batteries are supplied with a 2 year warranty,
should a fault occur in this period, Lekker with replace the

MANUAL LEKKER BIKES / E-Amsterdam 2nd Gen 24
9.Do notplace the battery intofresh water or sea water, and do
not allow the battery terminals to get wet. Doing so may cause
overheating, bursting, or ignition of the battery
10.Take care to ensure that thebattery does not get too hot.
Battery ageing increases sharply with temperatures above40 °C.
Placing the battery in direct sunlight can cause a battery to heat
up considerably. Take care to ensure you do not leave the
battery in a hot car and park your bike in the shade during bike
rides. If you cannot avoid the heat, make sure you do not charge
the batteryat the same time.
11.If you ride constantly using maximum motor assist, your motor
will always need a higher current. Higher currents cause the
battery to age faster. Use the assist modesjudiciously,cycle
through them as you would a normal gear system,Starting off in
a high assist level is not recommendedand can cause you to
lose control of the bike.
12. Please take care when using E-Bikes on loose terrain, the
added power from the motor can cause the bike to lose control in
these situations, Please remember to be aware of your
surroundings when using an E-bike, do not give too much
attention to the screen when riding.

13.It islawin Australia to alwaysuse a helmet when riding, it is also
required in many states touse lightswhen riding in low visibility
conditions. We also highly recommend wearing a helmet in countries
where this is not compulsory.
14.All pedelec E-bikes must belimited to 250w power outputand
motor assistcannotexceed25km/h, Lekker Bikes will not be held liable
for any aftermarket modifications to the motor or system that may have
an effect on it’s performance.
15.Lekker Bikes recommends servicing your E-bike every4-6
monthsto ensure correct working of the bicycle, by a trained mechanic,
andwill not be held responsiblefor any misuse, incorrect fitting or
assembly of the bike.
16. Do not make any changesto your electric system or fit any other
products to it aimed at increasing the power output from your e-bike. As
a rule you will shorten the service life of the system and risk damaging
the Drive Unit (motor) and the e-bike. In addition there is also the danger
that youwill void the warranty of your e-bike.Furthermore, as a result
of inexpert work on the system you will jeopardise your safety and that
of other road users which risks accidents caused by manipulations, high
personal liability costs and potentially even the danger of criminal
prosecution.
