Dutch e-bike manufacturer VanMoof just announced its very first high speed electric bicycle, more commonly called speedbike. These are VAE capable of traveling up to 50 km / h and which must therefore comply with the legislation on mopeds. In France, a speedbike must not exceed 45 km / h, be registered, insured and cannot use cycle paths. In addition, its driver must have an AM license and wear an approved helmet.
the VanMoof V is still at the prototype stage and will not be available before the end of 2022. The manufacturer has not given a lot of technical details on this new electric bike in its range. It will have two motors housed in the hubs, an automatic transmission, front and rear suspensions and a 700 Wh battery. The frame is in aluminium and the chunkier design differs significantly from other models of the brand such as the VanMoof S3 and X3. The VanMoof V will be fitted with tires « thick »Giving it the appearance of a fatbike.
We will find the typical functions of VanMoof such as the Kick Lock keyless unlocking, the integrated anti-theft device and the Turbo Boost button which provides instant acceleration. This speedbike will be connected via a application mobile which centralizes all the information and possible settings. The speed maximum of the VanMoof V will be adapted according to the legislation of the countries where it will be distributed. The advertised selling price of € 3,498 is rather aggressive for this type of electric bike. VanMoof has opened reservations by invitation for this new model, the first deliveries of which will take place at the end of next year.
