VanMoof's electric bikes

We’ve always been convinced that electric bikes will eventually replace cars on city roads. In cities like Amsterdam and Copenhagen, over 40% of their residents commute by bike. And in areas where cycling isn’t so effortless, thousands of new riders are discovering the power of electric biking.

In this way, e-bicycles are going to change our cities forever, making them greener and healthier for everyone. Cycling has never been so accessible – even without dedicated bike paths and a lifetime of practice, a pedal-assist bike gives riders the confidence to bike farther than ever before.

At the end of the day, bikes are just tools. And VanMoof works to give people the best tools possible, so they can make the future a better place. A future where people can get around town faster, smarter, and cleaner.

We’ve drawn upon 10 years of restless innovation to create our new range of e-bike, and they’re packed with industry-leading features that make your life easier.

E-shifter: Now you don’t have to think about changing gears – the four-speed E-shifter works in tandem with the integrated Smart Cartridge to switch gears at the perfect moment every time. Whether you’re climbing a steep slope, cruising along a flat, or racing downhill, the E-shifter makes sure you’re always in the right gear, and always in the moment.

Theft Defense: Our new electric bikes debut the latest version of our Rider Recognition protocol. When you first set up your bike with the VanMoof app, the S3 & X3 establish a secure, encrypted connection with your smartphone. Your bike will now automatically activate when you approach, disarming the integrated alarms when you get near. With the S3 & X3, this connection is stronger than ever, and optimized for Android and iOS devices – so your bike always knows who’s riding it.

Turbo Boost: no feature sets VanMoof apart more than the Turbo Boost, giving you a dose of instant acceleration by maxing out the motor torque. Crossing a busy intersection? The extra acceleration will get you to the other side with time to spare. Pulling away from a traffic light? With the Turbo Boost you’ll be at the front of the biking pack, and away from the jostling elbows. Caught by a surprise headwind? The Turbo Boost turns an energy-sapping gale into a gentle breeze.

Hydraulic brakes: With the new electric VanMoof S3 & X3, we’ve thought just as hard about how you’ll slow down. That’s why we’ve completely redesigned our signature disc brakes – and built the world’s first integrated hydraulic braking system. Our hydraulic brakes deliver much greater stopping power with very little effort. Now you can stop quickly and safely in a full downpour, with the pull of a single finger.

All our bikes are unisex. You can choose the one that fits you best – we advise the X3 e-bike for riders 155 - 200cm tall and the S3 for riders that are 170-210 cm tall. If you are in between these height ranges, we recommend taking a test ride so you can try both e-bikes for yourself.

VanMoof electric bikes S3 & X3 have an integrated battery (504W capacity). To charge your bike, just follow these steps:

1. Plug the included charger into a power outlet and connect the other end to your bike, on the underside of the top tube.

2. The battery will automatically stop charging when it reaches full capacity.

3. A full charge takes about 4 hours, and you can get a 50% charge in 80 minutes.

It’s still possible to go hands-on with the incredible new VanMoof S3 & X3 electric bikes, and our team will make sure your experience is as safe and enjoyable as possible. All bikes will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before and after every use, and team members will keep a distance of at least two meters at all times. We’re now using a spaced scheduling system to make sure there is no overlap between riders. And if you don't live near a VanMoof brand store, we now have pop-up locations all over the world – with more coming soon!
