The Dutch company Vanmoof understands that many obstacles have hindered widespread adoption of electric bicycles. The ’electrified S’ neither looks nor sounds like one, and features smartphone connectivity that allows owners to change speed settings and tracks the bike’s location using built-in GSM. Vanmoof’s first iteration of its ‘electrified’ model in 2014 garnered praise from across Amsterdam. With the updated version, they have rebuilt the e-bike from the ground-up, further integrating electronics within the frame and adding a full suit of technological enhancements. The ‘electrified S’ also offers 2.5 times the range, which is an ideal solution for riders traveling from the urban sprawl. The keyless lock component uses integrated Bluetooth technology to confirm the owner and automatically unlocks the bike. A digital touchpad display visualizes the details of the integrated system like speed, distance travelled, power level and battery life.
