At first glance, VanMoof Electrified S doesn't look like and
electric bicycle, but inside its elegant frame, there is 250 watt electric
motor. Design is a major selling point of Electrified S. It is very light, only
18.5 kg. All components are designed by VanMoof together with a number of
partners, such as the front and rear lights that are the results of collaboration
with Philips. It makes this electric bicycle looks unique and original.
This bike has no buttons or levers to activate the electric
motor. Everything will work automatically as soon as the user starts pedaling.
So you may still be asked to pedal this bike, but the electric motor will help
to give power.
In a one-time charge, Electrified S can reach about 120 km,
and the maximum speed is about 32 km / h. Furthermore, Electrified S is also
equipped with internet and smartphone-based digital features.
On the surface of the frame, there is a touch display where
user can control various functions, such as controlling the speed or lock the
bicycle. VanMoof also presents a companion app for Android and iOS that offers
a number of additional functions.
The smartphone app also acts as a digital key. Then how if
the Electrified S’ battery runs out of power? Don't worry, VanMoof has installed
a backup battery so the smart functions can still operate and you can still
unlock it by using a smartphone.

that will be very useful to track the location of the bike. If it was stolen,
user can simply open the companion application on the smartphone to see its
location that will be updated using GPS.
