About VanMoof

We’re obsessed with cities. So are our bikes. Truly city-proof, they shrink long commutes, defend themselves against thieves, battle hills and headwinds, and make you feel like a straight-up superhero.

We ride outside of the box, designing parts from scratch and integrating groundbreaking tech to create the smartest, sleekest bikes around.

It all started in Amsterdam, the city cycling capital of the world. But these days, VanMoof riders zip their way through Tokyo, Berlin, San Francisco, London, Paris, Taipei, and an exploding number of cities around the globe.

Our philosophy is simple – if it doesn't help you outsmart your city, then we don't do it.
