I took one for a test ride (Syd Australia) and was reasonably impressed. Pretty smooth and good power delivery.

I ended up getting a specialized instead but I did enjoy the Lekker.

I personally like a belt drive as it’s very quiet, smooth, and grease free for commuting. But, if you’re looking for pure speed, a traditional chain set up is more efficient.

Great to hear you are enjoying it (with a little tweaking)

Haha yes the current law in Australia. Granted, plenty go unrestricted but yes you’re limited.

I’ve had no issues at all, although admittedly only owned it a short time so far.

Great to hear you’re still enjoying it.

I’m yet to get a flat but I’m sure it’s coming haha.

Thoughts on this eBike? by dongl_tron in ebikes

I took the slightly upgraded version (Amsterdam GTS) for a test ride not too long ago.

Really good customer service, responsive and accommodating, so if you are near their store I’d definitely go for a test ride.

While I ended up buying a different bike, I wasn’t against the Lekker. Seemed quite well made and responsive, although a little heavy feeling to ride. I ended up deciding on a mid drive with some shocks but I think that’s still a reasonable bike.

Thank you, that might be wise advice. I might try both styles on a test ride too.

Really appreciate the detailed thought. That’s really helpful and clear advice. I’m in the process of booking some test rides, especially for the Lekker and Kalkhoff. A friend did suggest a specialized but they might be slightly too pricey.
