$5Electric bicycles are becoming an increasingly popular way to move around urban centers. They offer an alternative to automobile transportation that is healthier and more environmentally sustainable.
Van Moof, a Dutch tech-meets-bike company, has emerged as a leader in the design and manufacture of Van Moof bicycles. But what makes them different? In this talk, Daan Rekkers, a business leader at Van Moof US, will talk about the design of the company’s e-bikes and his organization’s mission of getting the next billion people on bikes.
About Van Moof Bicycles
VANMOOF is a Dutch company that designs and builds city bikes with non-traditional appearance. The philosophy of the company is to build bikes as simple & robust as possible, so there are few parts that can break on the bike.
VANMOOF bikes have a frame with a distinctive continuous oversized top tube containing the light beams. Its design stands out and is easily recognized. Founder and CEO Taco Carlier says “More than half of the world’s population lives in city centers. This is putting an increasingly heavy burden on traditional means of inner-city transport. We believe this asks for a new and fresh approach to inner-city mobility.”
