VanMoof announced the next generation of e-bikes featuring “iconic tech” and new color options. The new VanMoof S4 and X4 offer fewer features than the previous S3 and X3 but with the benefit of a lower price.
The S4 and X4 look similar to the outgoing models and are available in four new colors: Sunbeam Yellow, Purple Fog, Evergreen, and Foam Green. These e-bikes come standard with a two-speed automatic gear shifting. The lower gear offers acceleration ideal for hill riding, and a higher gear for top-speed cruising on even terrain. The Gen 4 Kick Lock allows riders to lock the rear wheel with a flick of their toe. Standard anti-theft features include onboard alarms and location tracking.
Other rider-assist features include VanMoof’s Turbo Boost button, which gives the existing pedal assist a burst of energy. Furthermore, the built-in phone mount makes it easier for riders to use the VanMoof app.
Performance differs depending on the region. North American spec VanMoof S4 and X4 models have a top speed of 20 mph, while European variants are limited to 15.5 mph. But the range is the same across the board, 87 miles when riding on its lowest power mode (of which there are four). The option to strap a second auxiliary battery to extend the range is available. Both the VanMoof S4 and X4 are available now in Evergreen, with the remaining color options coming in the summer of this year.
