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.
Note: We have to stress that this manual won’t teach you all the skills of a bicycle mechanic.
Even a manual the size of every Harry Potter book combined couldn’t detail every possible
combination, tricks and available components. For this reason, our manual is only applicable
to your new LEKKER bicycle and its assembly, alongside any important notes, warnings and
maintenance guides.

01. Getting
Started
We’ve created this manual to help you put the
finishing touches on your LEKKER bike. Run through
these quick steps and you’ll be exploring and adven-
turing in no time.
So, without further ado, unbox your LEKKER bike and

02. Fitting the handlebar
and adjusting the controls
Handlebars.
Step 1: Your handlebars come pre-fitted to the bike,
turned sideways and downwards for shipping.
Now, using a 4mm allen key, attach the handlebars
to the handlebar stem, making sure the 4 bolts are
centered and tightened properly.
Step 2: Where necessary, loosen the stem bolts and
rotate the handlebars in the straight and forward
position then align the handlebars so that they are
straight and perpendicular to the frame.
Then, tighten the handlebar stem to the front fork,
using the 4mm allen key.

1514 Amsterdam+Assembly & Maintenance Guide
Step 3: Now, using a 4mm allen key, tighten the
handlebars and stem, making sure all 4 bolts are
centered and tightened properly.
Step 4: Now you can adjust the position of your
brake levers, display screen and bell. You will have
the correct allen key or screwdriver in your tools.
You can revise your controls again after your first
ride if you feel the need.

03. Fitting
the pedals
To assemble the pedals, you will need a 15mm open-
ended spanner. Insert the pedal into the crank and
ensure the pedals are properly tightened. Please see
below for which pedal should go on each side of the
bike.
LEFT pedal: this is the pedal that has indented hori-
zontal lines on the small part between the pedal and
thread.
RIGHT pedal: this pedal has no indented lines and is
smooth in between the pedal and thread.
ATTENTION: please make sure you check the thread
direction before inserting the pedals. Fitting the pe-
dal to the wrong side can damage the crank arm and
is not covered under warranty.

04. Aligning
the brakes
Lift the wheel off the ground and give it a spin. It
should spin freely and without any noise. If you hear
a metallic rubbing sound, then the brakes will need
adjusting.
To do this, you’ll need to use the 5mm allen key. With
the bike upside down, adjust the caliper. You will
need to slightly loosen the two 5mm allen key bolts
(found on the top of the caliper, so that you can
gently move the caliper horizontally, allowing the disc
rotor to move freely between the brake pads.

05. Battery
set-up
Make sure that the battery is properly inserted into
the frame. When you feel a click, you’ll know it’s been
locked into place. Using your battery lock key (1 in
the illustration), you can easily remove the battery
for charging. Your battery can be charged whilst the
battery is inside the frame, or you can simply take
it out (2 in the illustration) and charge it separately.
Remember to remove the key from the battery lock
whilst riding.
All batteries will come partially charged. However, to
get the most out of your battery, we strongly recom-
mend that you check out chapter 9 of this manual, all
about battery health.
Once you’ve finished in erting the battery, it’s time to
turn the bike on!
Note: All batteries and frames are water-resistant,
but if you are storing the bike outside overnight, or
for long periods of time, we recommend that the
battery is removed and kept inside and the bike is
covered and stored. Removing the battery overnight
will not only help to maximize its overall lifespan, but
also lower the risk of theft.

06. Display
Settings
We recommend that you sit on your bike before you
turn it on. This means you’ll have full control over the
bike and can avoid any accidents.
To turn on your Amsterdam +, using the display that’s
on the left hand side of your handlebar, press and
hold the power button for 2 seconds. This will turn on
the screen.
Once on, you can scroll through the 5 levels of motor
assist using the + and - buttons on the front of the
control module / display. For more in-depth instructi-
ons for your screen, please refer to the Bafang manu-
al, found in PDF format on our website.
Finally, to turn on your front light, press and hold the
+ button for 2 seconds.

07. Finishing
Touches
Saddle.
Using a 5mm allen key, loosen the seat post clamp
bolt and adjust the seat post height. Ensure it’s at
the correct height for you, and tighten the bolt.
Tip: Your knee should slightly bend when the
pedal is at its lowest position while sitting on the
saddle. You may wish to apply some assembly
grease to the seat post here. Some bikes have had
this done at the factory so this may not be needed.
Bell, Tyres and Accessories.
Install the bell on your handlebars, in your
preferred position.
Pump the tyres to 40-50 PSI
If you’ve ordered any accessories such as racks,
locks or lights, don’t forget to fit these too. They
each come with their own instructions and also have
their own mounting points.
Now, you’re good to go. Enjoy your ride, the Amster-
dam way!

08. Battery
health
Below, you’ll see a few tips and tricks to help optimise
your new ebike battery’s performance and lifespan:
1.Never leave your battery flat for a prolonged period
of time. Doing so causes degradation to the cells and
will result in reduced battery capacity
2.Store your battery with 50 - 80% charge. Charging
up to 100% is fine, but avoid storing it at 100% for an
extended period (i.e. longer than a month). If possible,
also remove your battery from your bike during
storage.
3.Store your battery in a dry, cool place, out of direct
sunlight and at a temperature between 5 - 20°C (41
- 68°F). If you’re using your bike during warmer sum-
mer days, remove your battery when possible. Simi-
larly, if you keep your bike outside during the winter,
remove your battery if it’s freezing or snowing.
4. Our smart charger automatically detects when
your battery is fully charged and will then stop char-
ging. However, we recommend that you disconnect
the charger when the battery is fully charged and the
indicator light on the charger switches from red to
green. For safety reasons, we also advise that you do
not leave your battery charging whilst unattended.
5. Your LEKKER bike comes with the Bafang C11 dis-
play, which gives you an indication of your battery’s
remaining range. However, this number does not
factor in your weight, terrain, temperature and ri-
ding style. For these reasons, it should only be used a
rough and relative guide, not an absolute number.

09. Safety
and warranty
We offer a 3 year warranty on our LEKKER frames.
Additionally, we supply you with 2 years warranty
on the components of our diffe ent models starting
on the day of purchase. This warranty is only for re-
placeable components. Unfortunately, our warranty
is not transferable (including when sold to another
consumer and can only be used by the original buyer
of a LEKKER product. If you want to use the warran-
ty, please ensure you have your receipt and go to the
original shop in which you made your purchase.
There are cases when our warranty isn’t valid. Our
warranty doesn’t cover wear and tear, incorrect as-
sembly or maintenance. There’s no warranty in the
case of; damage caused by accidents, improper use
or negligence. Our warranty is also void if changes
are made to the original design of the LEKKER bike.
All pedelec eBikes 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.
Do not make any changes to your electric system or
fit any other products to it, aimed at increasing the
power output from your eBike. As a rule, you will
shorten the service life of the system, risk damaging
the Drive Unit (motor and also the e-bike itself. The-
re’s also the danger that you’ll void the warranty of
your ebike. Furthermore, as a result of inexpert work
on the system you will jeopardise your own safety,
as well as that of other road users. Risking accidents
caused by manipulations can lead to high personal
liability costs and potentially even the danger of cri-
minal prosecution.
Please note: your frame number is located on the
bottom of the bike frame, near the bottom bracket.
This might be needed for insurance purposes.

6. What factors will affect my battery’s range?
- Rider weight & load (Racks, pannier bags, Child
seat).
- Environmental factors such as terrain, gradient, am-
bient temperature & wind. Lower outside temperatu-
res will negatively impact your bike’s range.
- Assistance level that’s selected on the Bafang E-sys-
tem.
- Cadence Efficiency: Drive-train systems will affect
how efficiently your bike will consume energy. For
example single speed on the Amsterdam+ vs
Amsterdam GT with Enviolo Step-less. A variable
ratio drive-train allows for more efficient of energy
than a fixed ratio.
-Torque rating of your motor; a 80Nm torque
mid-motor will help you accelerate faster than a
32Nm hub motor, but will also consume more energy
in the process.
- Battery capacity; the larger the capacity, the more
range the bike will have.
- Battery age; over time your battery will lose the abi-
lity to store charge. The above points will help slow
down this process.
7. Using your e-Bike battery is better than not. So hop
on your bike and (regularly) take it for a spin!
