A lightweight commuter bike that packs a punch. The Amsterdam Bike is there for all your commuting needs.
Lightweight and maintenance-free, this dutch bike doesn’t need much attention. But it will catch a lot of eyes. Raining? No stress. 100% rustproof, you can cruise your streets whatever the weather.
With 8 or 3 gears, the Amsterdam is the ideal commuter bike. And with its unique gear change support mechanism, pedalling power is used to make shifting gears feel lighter than a feather.
Weather-resistant, flexible, durable and maintenance-free. The perfect (belt) drive really does exist.
On any street corner or metropolitan intersection, stay in control with premium hydraulic disc brakes. Come to a complete stop in fractions of a second – smoothly.
Cruise beyond where the pavement ends with WTB’s high volume 650b tires. Their all-weather herringbone pattern and parallel grooves mean you’ll maintain traction even on those rougher terrains.
Stay sleek with the LEKKER Amsterdam’s powder finish. Twice as thick as liquid paint and heat cured to protect against any scratches. Our Dutch style bikes are designed to look fresh, wherever your ride takes you.

The difference between the 3-speed and 8-speed hub focuses on the ratio and on your riding needs. The silent clutch 3-speed hub is a very popular hub for commuter bikes on mostly flat terrain, where there is no need for a super low gear. The 8-speed nexus hub is a very tough and reliable hub. It is more suited to terrain with hills or for those who need to carry heavier loads, so if you will ride in a variety of landscapes, we strongly recommend this one, it is one of the best hubs available in the market!
We use integrated hubs, meaning no matter the gearing system, a bullet-proof bike is guaranteed! With the internal hub system, you are able to shift while not pedalling, making your ride much easier. It also provides less need for maintenance, due to the protection of the internal gear hub.
The Gates Belt Drive is a standard upgrade that greatly reduces the maintenance on your bike as there is no need to oil or grease the belt. It’s created with stretch-free carbon fibre tensile cords and operates in virtual silence. As it is made with carbon blend and not metal, it won’t rust and lasts much longer than chain drives. It’s weather-resistant, flexible and durable. The Gates Belt Drive system requires no lubrication, which means that you don’t need to get your hands dirty and oily to clean it. It is also a practical feature that reduces the weight in your bike, and the noise whilst you are riding – Yes, the belt drive system is silent and lighter than the conventional chain drive, making your rides as smooth as possible!
The hydraulic disc brakes operate with the help of fluid, which means that there are no cables involved. The Amsterdam Series comes fitted with the high-end Elvedes Hydraulic disc brakes, making your rides more efficient and smooth. With the hydraulic disc brakes, you don’t need to lever hard to create a more sensitive response, a simple push is more than enough to feel its stopping power both in dry and wet conditions. They don’t require maintenance as they don’t have complicated wiring in their inner system, making them lightweight and increasing the performance in your rides.
We designed the Amsterdam Series with durability as a focus. It’s not only light but also rust-free. We make use of a 100% aluminum frame and fork, making its design minimalistic yet sturdy. All other components are high-end, optimised for daily commuting. There are no shortcuts – it’s about power and efficiency. As its name implies, this series is designed in Amsterdam, but with the coastal areas of Australia in mind. It’s reliable, easy to ride and a strong commuter. The standard-fitted Gates Belt Drive gives you another level of maintenance freeness, increases durability and makes your ride smoother, lighter and quieter.
It sure does. Our bikes are made for babies (as passengers – babies aren’t great at riding bikes). They’re sturdy, light and comfortable – perfect for taking junior on an adventure. You will need a rear carrier rack to mount the seat or for a comfier ride. We don’t sell baby seats, but we can recommend the Bobike One, which fits perfectly.
