WELCOME TO

LEKKER

Dear Lekker Customer, first of all

we would like to congratulate

you with your brand new bicycle!

It’s already a great day. But

before you ride out we want to

make sure your bike is in tip-top

condition, and you are aware how

to keep it like that. Very

important, to ensure endless

smiles each single ride.

In this manual we have compiled

for you lots of tips on how to use

your Lekker Bicycle, instructions

for maintenance and care, plus

obviously a walk through how to

execute the final assembly of

your ride. We advise to read this

manual thoroughly. You will find

it worth your while; even if you

have cycled all your life and feel

like a veteran with your new ride.

WELCOME TO

LEKKER

For your enjoyment and safety please complete the first part of this manual,

to ensure all is clear about general bicycle safety.

Chapter 2 shows you the correct thightening force in anticipation of the final

assembly of your bicycle. Chapter 3 takes you on a journey how proceed

with the final assembly of your bicycle. At last, Chapter 4 gives you a better

idea how to service and maintain your bicycle.

Your Lekker Team

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

Jordaan+! 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 eBikes are

generally much heavier than standard bikes, so some help

maybe needed for this step (you may find it easier to cut the

side of the box open, be careful whilst using sharp knives!).

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.

Handlebar fitment &

adjustment

5. Centre the handlebar and stem and tighten to 14Nm

with a 6mm allen key. To 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.

6. Now it’s time to adjust the angle of the brake levers

and gear shifter to your desired position. Using a 4mm

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 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!

8. 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!

9. Your Jordaan+ come with a removable front “Dutch style” Rack, with

an integrated front headlight. This will need partial assembly.

First, remove the rack from its packaging.

10. Fold the rack open, and attach the back plate of the rack to the

bottom plate of the rack, using four 8mm nuts and bolts (two either side)

leave these a little loose, to allow easier fitting.

11. Using two 8 or 10mm nuts and bolts, attach the whole rack to the stem

plate located under the handlebar stem, again, leave these a little loose

to begin with.

12. Now for the two legs of the rack; make sure that the light fixing is on

the LEFT-hand side facing forward, this will require two 8mm nuts and

bolts, once attached to the rack you can then proceed to bolt the two

legs to the fork, using one 8mm bolt per side.

13. Now you can tighten all bolts to 8Nm. PLEASE NOTE: you may need to

apply a bit of force to centre the rack correctly.

14. Attach the front light to the light fixing on the left-hand leg using the

crosshead screw and nut provided, and make sure the wires are plugged

into the headlight correctly.

CHAPTER 5 CHAPTER 5

Adjusting gears and final

checks

11MANUAL LEKKER BIKES / Jordaan+ MANUAL LEKKER BIKES / Jordaan+ 12

18. To adjust the the brakes, you will need a 5 mm allen key.

Firstly check the 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.

19. 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.

The Jordaan+ comes fitted with the excellent Shimano Nexus 3 speed hub, this

allow 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. To check that your gears are correctly aligned, just follow

these simple steps.

15. Place the gear shifter in gear number 2, now go to the rear of the bike and

check the gear selector housing, the yellow dot should be between the two

white lines on the housing for correct gear shifting. If the yellow dot is outside

of these two lines, the cable tension needs to be adjusted, to do this loosen the

10mm lock nut at the front of the housing, and with a pair of grips, tighten or

loosen the adjuster barrel to move the yellow dot to the correct position, re-

tighten the lock nut and cycle through the gears to check correct working,

repeat the steps if necessary until correct adjustment is achieved.

16. 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.

17. 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.

We know you are excited to try your Jordaan+ for the

first time! You‘re nearly there, just a few more steps

before it’s ready to go!

20. Before turning on your Jordaan+, we recommend

doing this whilst sitting on the bike, this allows full

control over the bike and can avoid accidents. To turn

your Jordaan+ 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.

CHAPTER 6 CHAPTER 6

Turning on your Jordaan+ and

charging

17MANUAL LEKKER BIKES / Jordaan+ MANUAL LEKKER BIKES / Jordaan+ 18

Turning on your Jordaan+ and

charging

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.

Hold down the “-“ button for 2 secs, the motor will

then engage up to 6km/h.

21. 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, you charge it for 12hr cycles. PLEASE

NOTE: this will allow the battery to have full charge

capacity.

Battery care and & general tips

CHAPTER 8

Battery care and & general tips

for use

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 battery. Normal ageing as well as wear

and tear do not constitute as material deficiency.

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.
