VanMoof “Electrified S”

Amsterdam-based VanMoof recently unveiled its new “Electrified S” commuter bike which offers a variety of advanced “smart” features. The new electric bike is actually an updated version of the “10 Electrified” model released in 2014; it is equipped with a 250W front hub motor and can go up to 20 mph, 2.5 times the speed of the 10 Electrified. The updated Electrified S also features a “Boost” function providing extra acceleration for riders going into a headwind or facing an uphill climb.

Another new feature in “Electrified S” is the electronic locking system. This allows users to lock and unlock the bike over their smartphones or with an included Bluetooth remote. Users now have a smartphone app to adjust the bike’s speed settings and track its location using a GSM connection. Finally, there is a built-in digital touchpad display on the top tube that provides basic info on the bike such as battery life, power level and distance travelled.

Priced at US$1,998, the “Electrified S” is now available for pre-order on VanMoof’s website.
