Lekker Jordaan GTS Ebike
In comparison to the Jordaan Urban above, the GTS model caters to different cyclist needs within the same design ethos. The Urban model stands out for its lightweight frame and front motor, combined with 7-speed gearing, making it an agile choice for urban commuters. Its design prioritizes ease of maneuverability and responsiveness, ideal for swift city rides.
On the other hand, the Jordaan GTS offers a heftier frame and is powered by a Bafang mid-drive motor paired with an Enviolo integrated hub. This setup enhances the bike’s power, providing a significant boost and greater control over the ride. This model is designed for cyclists who value robust performance and control, suitable for varying terrains and demanding urban environments.
While both models embrace the Dutch philosophy of combining style with functionality, the Urban is tailored for those seeking lightweight agility, and the GTS for riders in search of power and enhanced ride control. The choice between them depends on your preference for speed and ease versus power and versatility in the cycling experience.
