If anyone is looking for a comprehensive review on the Electrified S, please check out my take on it here:
Love the innovations - especially the bike theft feature which is rampant in the US metro areas. As for the ad copy, "Create an electric bike that looks, and feels, nothing like your typical electric bike" I don't think most folks have much experience with electric bikes. I would challenge you to go further. Play up the Dutch name VanMoof and make the frame cool like a huge V - invest in some crazy paint powder coating systems with multiple colors and let designers create a signature set of Vs that you can CNC powder coat onto the frame. Folks love custom color choices and it would let you visually stand out. V for Volt, V for VanMoof, V for very (and then teach us a svelte Dutch word that starts with V). You might also add some safety features for exploding batteries. Try a test and make sure it vents to a part of the bike not next to a body part! I'd also ditch the black tires and spokes to go for something that scream electric - like colored LED lighting and reflective rubber so cars can see you.
The only question I have left is this vs a Boosted Board!?
I feel like we need to organize a race
Probably would be better than Top Gear! (also you should 100% do this, so long as it's avoiding cobbled streets!!!)
Can we get in on this EV race?

Postponement of the deliveries without end!
Slick ! I love the ground up approach and the placement of the controls/screen underneath the handle bars. What was one aspect of the digital design that you were able to completely change or rethink that people would not expect from a smart bike?
How much do the bikes weigh? I need to climb stairs with it
18KG - I was carrying it up and down stairs in New York daily :)
18KG is not too much.
that's very good for an electric bike - definitely going to keep an eye out for y'all
Was in their BK store for an event, great space and bikes overall.
I need that in my life! Very cool πŸ™Œ
I'd love to see how this compares to a Faraday bike. They're both beautiful machines.
