VanMoof, an electric mobility company, has launched a new e-bike designed with high-tech features and impressive specs.
These new e-bikes have emerged after technology company McLaren Applied acquired VanMoof's assets after a bankruptcy.
As New Atlas reported, VanMoof's new S6 series e-bikes are the first to be launched since the bankruptcy in 2023.
The company has been on a "relentless quest to make the perfect city bike" since 2009. It says this newest e-bike is the "culmination of five generations and 11 years of e-bike innovation."
VanMoof collaborated with McLaren Applied to create a new design for its new S6 and S6 Open models.
The e-bikes have a 250-watt hub motor on the front wheel and four levels of pedal assistance to propel you up to 15 miles per hour. The e-bike's motors have 50 pound-feet of torque, and you can ride it about 93 miles per charge in eco-mode.

VanMoof's S6 incorporates an electronic control unit, USB-C port, and a three-speed auto-shift hub. You can connect the e-bike to a mobile app for turn-by-turn directions with Apple brand compatibility.
E-bike enthusiasts are also talking about the S6's built-in sonic alarm that makes it thief-proof, a feature that's accessible through a subscription service.
The company's new addition to the e-bike landscape is exciting because it adds another option for buyers to consider and supports the broader clean energy transition.
Meanwhile, other e-bike manufacturers have been releasing models with unique frames, advanced technology, and sustainable batteries. There are also foldable e-bike options that make them perfect for commuters.
