VanMoof launches electric bike that doesn’tneed a lockVanMoof’s new Electrified bikes can recognize their rider, defendthemselves against thieves, and be located with ease.

AMSTERDAM, 30 May 2018 - Today, bike-meets-tech company VanMoof launched a new range

of e-bikes featuring the latest in theft defense technology. The Electrified S2 & X2 include a

virtually invisible Stealth Lock, rider recognition, and a multi-phased alarm to take their battle

with bike thieves to the next level. To top it off, the bikes feature an intelligent motor that

generates more power with greater efficiency, an increased range of 150km, and a smile-

inducing turbo boost. Early bird riders can reserve for just €100 from June 7, with deliveries

commencing in September.

Key features:

Intelligent Motor – Smarter, more powerful pedal assist up to 32km/h.

Turbo boost – Press the button on the handlebar for on-demand acceleration, getting you

up hills and away from crowds at the flash of a green traffic light.

Matrix Display – 166 responsive LEDs bring the frame to life, displaying speed, battery

level, and power-assist level.

Better Battery – Capacity and range increase by over 20% to 504Wh/150km respectively.

Turbo Charge – Complete charging takes just four hours, with a ‘lunchtime top-up’ of 50%

in 80 minutes. Connected App – Remembers your parking spot, adjustable sounds, controls

the lights and theft defense settings. Free, over-the-air updates mean the bike gets smarter

over time.

Smart Cartridge – The brains of the bike are tucked into a removable (and replaceable)

cylinder, removing the servicing worry normally associated with buying a bike online.

New Frame Design – VanMoof’s iconic front and rear lights have evolved to fit seamlessly

into the re-engineered frame, which houses more tech and battery power in a sleek new body.

Rider Recognition – Secure Bluetooth technology allows the bike to respond when the

owner is near, automatically unlocking and disarming the Theft Defense system.

Stealth Lock – A tiny integrated module (patented by VanMoof) that completely

immobilizes the bike and auto-activates the theft defense at the kick of a button.

Ultimate Theft Defense – The bike responds with three phases of alarm sounds and

flashing lights when tampered with, telling would-be thieves that it’s too dangerous to steal.

Tokyo-inspired X Frame – Originally a Japan exclusive, the feisty unisex X-frame is now

available worldwide, suited to all riders between 155 and 200 cm.

Next Level Theft DefenseThe Electrified S2 & X2 come with a revolutionary (and virtually invisible) Stealth Lock that

stops the wheels from turning and activates the theft defense system with a kick, automatically

unlocking and disarming when the owner is nearby. Combined with the integrated alarm and

lock-down system that makes it impossible to ride (let alone sell) if stolen, it’s a completely new

way of thinking about bike security—one where the rider never has to worry about a thing.

"We can build bigger and tougher locks, or we can truly solve the problem bymaking our bikes pointless to steal in the first place. Using smart technologywe’ve created a bike that can take perfect care of itself, leaving no moreworries for the rider."— Taco Carlier, VanMoof Co-founder

And if a thief somehow jumps through all of these hoops? The bike’s owner simply alerts

VanMoof’s Bike Hunters via the app, who spring into action to recover the stolen bike. This opt-

in service guarantees that if the Bike Hunters don’t track it down within two weeks, VanMoof

will replace it.

The ultimate e-bike
