Enjoy your
LEKKER X
Dear LEKKER Customer, First and foremost — congratulations on your brand new
bicycle! We can’t wait for you to experience the thrill and joy of riding your
LEKKER bike, the Amsterdam way. But before you do, we want to help you make
sure your bike is in tip-top condition, as well as provide you with some tips
and tricks to keep it that way.
This manual will outline all the tools and knowledge needed to put the
finishing touches on your bike, as well as how to use it and useful guidance
on maintenance and care. Feast your eyes on what’s to come — we guarantee
it’ll be worthwhile, even if you’re an experienced rider.
The first few chapters are particularly important, for both your enjoyment and
safety, as we walk you through key steps in ensuring your bike is safe to
ride.
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, trick, and available component. For this reason, our manual is only applicable to your new LEKKER bicycle and its assembly, alongside any important notes, warnings, and maintenance guides.
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 adventuring in no time.
So, without further ado, unbox your LEKKER bike and feast your eyes on your newest sidekick. Once you’ve removed the packaging, make sure you have your trusty toolkit to hand, as shown in the illustration on the next page.
Fitting the saddle and handlebars
Saddle.
Using a 5mm Allen key, loosen the seat post clamp bolt and adjust the Seatpost
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.
Handlebars.
Step 1: Now, using a 5mm Allen key, attach the handlebars to the handlebar
stem, making sure the 4bolts are centered and tightened properly.
Step 2: Next, align the handlebars so that they are straight and perpendicular to the frame. Then, tighten the handlebar stem to the front fork, using the 5mm fallen key.
Tip: Should you wish to adjust the angles of your grips, brakes, and shifter, you can do so with a simple urn of Allen key 3 or 4. However, this should be correctly set already.
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 horizontal 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 pedal to the wrong side damage the crank arm and is
not covered under warranty.
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. 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.
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 and allow it to reach full charging capacity, we recommend that
you fully charge it before your first ride and then charge it for 12-hour
cycles, for its first three charges. Once you’ve finished inserting 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.
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 LEKKER X, 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 instructions for your screen, please refer to the Bafang manual, found in PDF format on our website.
Finally, to turn on your front light, press and hold the + button for 2 seconds.
Finishing Touches
Install the bell on your handlebars, in your preferred position. Generally,
this is on the left-hand side, next to the brake lever.
Pump the tires to 30-50 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 Amsterdam way!
Safety and warranty
We offer a 2-year warranty on our LEKKER frames. Additionally, we supply you
with 2 years warranty on the components of our different models starting on
the day of purchase. This warranty is only for replaceable 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 warranty, 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 assembly, 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 its
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. There’s also the danger that you’ll void the
warranty of your bike. Furthermore, as a result of inexpert work on the
system, you will jeopardize 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 criminal 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.
