About VanMoof's brandnew S5 & A5
VanMoof is a Dutch company that produces electric bicycles. The company was founded in 2009 by Taco Carlier and Ties Carlier. The company's first e-bike was the VanMoof Electrified S, which was launched in 2012. VanMoof has since released several other electric bicycles, including the VanMoof S5 & A5. The VanMoof S5 & A5 are the newest models. They're designed for city riding, and come with a number of features that make them ideal for commuting. They have a 250W motor, which gives them a top speed of 20mph (32kmh). They also come with a built-in kicklock, so you can keep your bike secure when you're not riding it.

VanMoof to skip the number 4 in their product lineup.
Tetraphobia!? (Wikipedia article) ·
This is due to the fact, that the number 4 (四, pinyin: sì; Cantonese Yale: sei) is considered unlucky in Chinese culture, as it is nearly homophonous to the word "death." (死 pinyin: sǐ; Cantonese
Yale: séi). This is similar to the western superstition surrounding the number 13.
Despite being founded in Amsterdam, VanMoof has a significant production presence in Taipei, Taiwan. The company has a goal of putting a billion bikes on the streets and is actively working towards this goal in the markets it currently operates in. However, Greater China is not yet one of these markets.

It is important to note that operating an e-Bike at speeds exceeding 25km/h on public streets in Europe is illegal and can result in fines or other legal consequences. This speed limit is in place to ensure the safety of both the rider and those sharing the road.

VanMoof V
VanMoof V: the high-speed e-bike.
Introducing VanMoof's newest innovation in e-bikes, the high-speed V. Designed for the cities and riders of the future, V is set to revolutionize the way we travel on roads.
The VanMoof V is often referred to as the "Cybertruck equivalent" of VanMoof due to its unique and futuristic design. V is an electric bike that has a bold and angular frame made from lightweight aluminum, and it features an array of high-tech features like automatic electronic gear shifting and integrated lighting like S5 & A5. Overall, it is a stunning and innovative piece of engineering that's sure to turn heads wherever it goes!
On Oct 12, 2021, VanMoof showcased this game-changing e-bike that will make commuting faster, safer, and more efficient.
The V is fully compliant with EU regulations and comes equipped with a 700 Wh internal battery, new integrated display and light designs, dual motor configuration (max 1 kW power), 50 km/h top speed (as per local regulations), 165-205 cm rider height, full suspension, and thick tires for a smooth and comfortable ride. Additionally, the V features a Turbo Boost, Kick Lock, and Theft Defense for added safety and security.
After the global supply chain crisis, the V was initially expected to be available only in select countries such as the Netherlands, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Japan by the end of 2023. Unfortunately, VanMoof 1.0 went bankrupt in the summer of 2023. The new VanMoof 2.0 is currently in the process of organizing its operations before commencing sales. The company has downsized almost seven times. Therefore, the plans for the V are currently uncertain.
