Are you considering buying a Knaap bike? Knaap is the hottest e-bike for young urban citizens who easily want to move from A to B. The Knaap bike makes you look stylish on the road while helping the environment.
In other words, this electric fatbike should be yours.
Need a little more conviction? We got you covered. Here are 7 reasons why you’d wish you bought a Knaap bike yesterday.
1: With the Knaap bike you’re an environmental hero
“You don’t have to wear a cape to save the planet” is what Knaap says. And they follow up on that promise.
Thanks to the 36 Volt 21 Amp Samsung battery and silent 250W Bafang motor in the back wheel you ride the environment-friendly e-bike without leaving any carbon footprint.
And this while cruising through the city streets with no less than 25 km an hour.
2: Style and comfort in one
A few years ago electric bikes were only for the older generations. This changed massively since the arrival of the Knaap bike.
Thanks to a perfect mix of electric scooter features and elements from the traditional electric bike, the Knaap lets you travel around in style. Without compromising on comfort. As all electric Knaap bikes come with:
- sturdy steel aluminum frame
- LCD display that shows your current speed and battery status
- Adjustable 83 cm seat
- Big LED-headlight
- Top quality brake and gear system
- Look & feel of a retro motor
Yes. We guess it’s the most luxurious and stylish e-bike you’ve ever been on.

3: Go on an adventure together
Solo cruising through the city streets is good fun. But riding around together is much more exciting.
The Knaap bike is the first 2 seater e-bike ever. Including folding footrests for your by-passenger. This makes it possible to take beautiful rides on the Erasmusbrug in Rotterdam or along the canals in Amsterdam.
Is your plus one a lot younger and are you looking for a Knaap bike with a child seat? Choose the easy way and let Voltes help you mount an extra rear rack with child seat on the back of your Knaap bike.
4: Knaap has enough space to hold your morning coffee
Good news for coffee lovers, especially the I-need-my-morning-latte-ones. In the aluminum frame you find a built-in cup holder. So next time you’re on your way to the office, you go & get your favorite cappuccino at that cute coffee place - without the hustle and potential coffee stains on your coat.
5: The Knaap bike brings you everywhere in no time
Pedaling for half an hour or more with headwinds. No thank you. Luckily this issue belongs to the past when you ride your Knaap e-bike.
Thanks to the fat tires of 20 cm thick you pass the tram rails without effort. In combination with a strong motor and powerful battery, riding from one part of town to the other is just a matter of minutes. Or go even further. As one battery enables you to ride for a maximum distance of no less than 140 km.
A massive difference with the e-bikes from Phatfour (55km) and the ZX from American brand Super73 (70 km).
6: You support a young, promising Dutch business
Knaap is Dutch as cheese. Founded in 2019 by creative entrepreneurs Robin Cats and Michael Fiering.
The founders have a clear mission and international ambition: to forever change the street image of classical bikes in Amsterdam, and far beyond. Are you joining?
7: Knaap bikes are HOT amongst influencers & top athletes (and the rest of us)
