VanMoof just made the Tesla of bicycles

1. I've bought but returned my vanMoof electrified S after 3 weeks:
   I love the design, it's a beautiful bike but.....
   - the battery is very limited. max 20-25 km range with maximum support. it drains way too fast.
   - it deals very bad with headwind or uphill (even a small bridge). The power of the motor is very limited.
   - the automatic shifting of the gears is far from subtle and not comfortable.
   - squeaking brakes. They are not hydraulic but lesser quality mechanical disc-brakes
   - Lights won't work when the battery is down. So when your battery is dead you can't drive safe on muscle power in the dark.
   - using the touchscreen is very limited, difficult when driving and doesn't work smooth.
   - the functionality of the app is very limited.
   - the vanMoof support is slow, inadequate and unprofessional
   Overal in my experience the bike is still "under construction" and way overpriced. The price/quality ratio is poor! It doesn't live up to the hype.
2. Not counting the monitoring costs
3. How meny watts is the motor? If it has any. This is a prank right?
4. 3k for a punny 350w front hub motor is a bit too steep, custom designed components means expensive maintenance costs. Id rather have a bosch or a custom built bafang
5. Great bike ;)
6. I bought used one good condition Mountain bike on Ebay for 30 & works perfectly with 5 gear modes. Now considering this price of 2000 be fair, my bike has to get stolen 66 times (& it happened once in 25 years). So I will pass :D
7. 4:07 VanMoof likes to add some cool audio effects to stress the comparison to "stupid bikes" lol
8. 댛ㅌ댜ㅐㄱㅍ혀ㅐ
9. Meh... I prefer my sondors :)
10. 2000-3000? Get an xtracycle instead.
11. Can you do one on the rad Rover?
12. This is so much nicer than the bulky batteries electric bikes usually have! And I love the safety mechanisms. Can it be transferred so you can resell them when you want an upgrade? How long until you need to replace them? How many miles?
13. The Facebook group for VanMoof fans all over the world https://www.facebook.com/groups/vanmoofing Maybe you like to join it to share YOUR experience? Simply use photos, videos, reviews, press releases, blog articles,... - whatever you like share and feel free to add the hashtag #‎vanmoofing Or just simply spread the word. Cya there 😉
14. I do believe that this bike has a 250w motor, which is so so. I prefer the Stromer brand instead, better bike, better components, faster.. VanMoof needs to upgrade their motor on their bike, also its a front wheel drive based system :(
15. Can't wait till I start working so I can buy all this cool stuff
16. It won't happen "in a couple of years," until the price becomes affordable
17. When do we get self-steering bicycles?
18. Customisation? and "about 1000$ less"
19. New $300 bike, + $700 BBSHD motor Kit, + $650 battery = $1650 for a 40mph bike that goes 30 miles at 20mph without pedaling. Oh and this $300 bike has front wheel suspension at the minimum. All the tools to diy cost $39.95 on amazon in a single toolbox.
20. Watching through the video I was so positive about the price of the bike and when the verge guy told that you guys wanna make a difference in the way people look at these electric bikes as expensive, I was like damm this bike is not gonna be expensive and will fit my budget and then he says 3k and 2k for 2 different models and I was like this is definitely not the Tesla of bikes.
