VanMoof Launches S4 and X4, Its Newest Generation of Ebikes

By Lars Hundley

Ebike manufacturer VanMoof has introduced two new models, the S4 and X4. Developed and improved over the course of 13 years, the new ebikes incorporate feedback gathered by VanMoof from its customers. The S4 and X4 incorporate VanMoof’s technological innovations while being more straightforward and reliable than previous models.

The S4 and X4 inherit the distinctive frame shapes of the S3 and X3, VanMoof’s best-selling models. However, the new bikes have been reengineered to provide a more streamlined and accessible experience for riders.

“One of the hardest things in life is to make things more simple. With the S4 & X4, we’ve mastered the art of simplification to make our e-bikes more accessible and reliable than ever,” said Taco Carlier, Co-founder of VanMoof.

The S4 and X4 are equipped with various features, including automatic 2-speed gear shifting, an integrated Gen 4 Kick Lock, and anti-theft technology such as onboard alarms and location tracking. They also feature a Turbo Boost for quick acceleration and dynamic motor support for a smooth ride. A built-in phone mount is included for using the VanMoof app as a dashboard to track speed, duration, and distance.

“We spend a lot of time listening to prospective riders. And what we heard clearly was the desire for our key features and iconic VanMoof design – in an e-bike that was even more simple, more accessible, and more reliable. We designed the S4 & X4 specifically to meet their needs,” said Ties Carlier, Co-founder of VanMoof.

The S4 and X4 are available in four colors: Evergreen, Sunbeam Yellow, Purple Fog, and Foam Green. They will be available for purchase on vanmoof.com starting May 9 for $2,498. Availability varies by color and region.

The company, founded in 2009 by Dutch brothers Taco and Ties Carlier, continues to expand its presence worldwide, with stores in over 20 cities and service networks across 50 cities.
