THE ULTIMATE URBAN WAY TO MOVE (AND YET SWEAT-PROOF!)
It is not easy being a city bike. You are outside in any weather, used daily and often a vulnerable victim of vandalism. Moreover, you are a lifestyle gadget that should fit the demanding cool-factor of the modern metropolitan.
VANMOOF was drafted with a focus on functionality and just because of that became an outstanding slick design product. “We were inspired by the good old-fashion Dutch bike”, explains the 28-year old Dutch designer Sjoerd Smit, “we stripped the bike from whims that can only break or cause frustration and added innovation and style”. The result is the first bike that is so smooth that it fits your image and yet so functional it makes you go to work whistling. It is the bike you want to be seen on, the car of the future!
The VANMOOF has a striking aluminum rust-free frame with a highly advanced solar powered LED light system built inside its tubes. To turn them on, you simply wipe the keychain over the frame. Like magic the light will start flashing. These indestructible bulbs are also used for airport landing strips. They are strong and hater-proof.
The bike is lightweight. This means easy to lift but moreover fast to ride. Getting sweaty is not an issue. You can leave your tie on! The coaster brake is great for the city, no more loose hanging cables and it is a safe and easy way to make a powerful stop. The broad steering wheel and classic leather seat top-off the smooth no-nonsense look of this ultimate urban commuter tool. And all this for a friendly consumer price of au $998. VANMOOF: fast, slick and hater-proof!
Available in Melbourne
