Amsterdam, The Netherlands
“The VanMoof V is our first hyperbike, an e-bike dedicated to higher speed and longer distance. I believe this new type of high-speed e-bike can fully replace scooters and cars in the city by 2025,” Ties Carlier, Co-Founder of VanMoof.
The VanMoof V is the Dutch e-bike brand’s first high-speed e-bike and will offer riders a true car replacement for everyday life in cities and beyond.
With integrated speed settings to match country regulations, the VanMoof V will be capable of hitting speeds up to 50 km/h or 31 mp/h.
It will be full of new features optimized to shrink even the biggest cities.
The VanMoof V is designed to keep the joy and simplicity of riding a bike while adding the benefits of more power and speed.
Featuring two-wheel drive, front and rear suspension, thicker tires, and a new iconic frame design, the VanMoof V will be optimized for smoother and longer-distance riding.
The bike’s dual motors will provide more powerful acceleration, while intelligent motor control will enhance traction for safety and performance.
The VanMoof V will be packed with the latest signature VanMoof tech including the much-loved Turbo Boost, Kick Lock for keyless locking, automatic gear shifting, and Theft Defense.
Designed for a bike-first future, the speed, accessibility, and ease of the VanMoof V will be able to shift the hierarchy on the roads.
With more cyclists on the roads than ever, the VanMoof V comes at a turning point in the history of our cities.
After the pandemic sparked a well-reported cycling boom across Europe and the USA, millions have already been invested in cycling infrastructure.
However, to truly reverse the car-first mentality, cities need to modernize policies to open up our cities to a more sustainable future.
“We’re calling for policies designed around people, rethinking how public spaces can be used if not occupied by cars. I am getting very excited thinking about what a city could look like in the near future, and we are very proud to be part of the change by building the right tools for the transition,” continues Carlier.
“If you compare us to Apple, we’re now in a phase like the iPhone 3 and iPhone 4, every two years the product is so much improved that it doesn’t make sense to keep on selling the old one, while nowadays people don’t care anymore if they have an iPhone 11 or 12 or X.”
