A brand new angled frame with lowered step-in is VanMoof’s most accessible to ride e-bike yet, and comes with multiple cargo options.

On April 5th, VanMoof announced its latest generation of e-bikes, the VanMoof S5 & A5. Fully re-engineered features include an ultra-silent powerful motor, long-range battery, powerful boost, and the latest VanMoof anti-theft tech. The new handlebar interface made up of LED Halo Rings communicate real-time feedback on speed, battery levels, unlocking, and more. The long-awaited lowered step-in A5 frame opens the opportunity for more riders worldwide to have their first e-bike experience. Check out the promo video here.

New step-in frame 

Both new 5-Series frames offer riders the most easy and accessible way to ride VanMoof e-bikes yet. The S5 is a refresh of the unmistakable VanMoof straight frame with slightly smaller wheels. The high riding position remains the top pick for controlled cruising. The brand new A5 angled frame is designed for wider accessibility and keeps riders feeling closer to the road. The lowered step-in makes it easy to jump on and off and heightens comfort and confidence for people new to biking. In addition, the A5 comes with multiple cargo options making it the perfect ride for city errands. It is designed to transport the near equivalent to a small city car.

Easy and intuitive use

Usability was paramount in the design process, a requirement being that even first-time e-bike riders feel confident using the bike. The industry-first Halo Ring Interface, integrated into the e-bikes’ handlebars, is a new signature feature designed to give riders immediate and intuitive feedback. It shows speed, battery levels, and connectedness.

The famed VanMoof anti-theft technology has been honed with a revamped in-wheel kick lock, bigger pin, and new auto retract function. The bike secures itself with a tap, and is able to unlock automatically upon the rider’s return. A new optional phone mount and USB-C charging port turn every rider’s phone into a dashboard. This makes navigation and on-the-go charging easy, whilst also offering a data-rich ride thanks to the updated VanMoof app.

Ultra smooth riding experience 

A series of detailed improvements elevate the bike’s stability, usability, and overall riding experience amounting to the smoothest one yet. The ultra silent Gen 5 motor, long-range battery, and powerful boost make up the connected ‘power system’ at the heart of the bikes. This complex network of intelligent sensors and responsive parts is engineered to work together giving riders an ultrasmooth, second-to-none riding experience. The VanMoof S5 and A5 respond to the rider’s own distinct pace and movement thanks to upgraded electronics, rebooted torque sensor and Gen 5 E-shifter. The remastered design and integrated tech mark a revolutionary leap forward, and have been honored with the prestigious Red Dot ‘Best of the Best’ design award.

Only a handful of parts remain from our previous models, the S3 and X3. Every last detail from the frame down to the chip sets and sensors has been engineered for the smoothest, most powerful ride ever.” Ties Carlier, VanMoof Co-founder.
