Amsterdam 8-Speed

Enjoy your

Amsterdam 8-Speed

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. 

Please also note that as your brand new Amsterdam 8-Speed 

is hot off the press, the images in this manual are not reflective of 
the bike that's in front of you. The images used are from one of 
our older bike models. And without them, we thought your manual 
wouldn't look quite so beautiful.

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.

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.
