With innovative details, exceptional looks and traditional cosiness, the vandal-proof design bike is intended to be the ultimate riding machine for the modern city. Contemporary design, clever details and ambitious marketing at a favourable price make it difficult to overlook the charming everyday scooter.
The "Vanmoof No. 5 Over the top" claims to be nothing less than "the ultimate urban riding machine". And indeed, there are some clever ideas in the bike - and behind it. First and foremost, the design is interesting and polarising. Some find the bike ugly; in any case, the strikingly designed frame is idiosyncratic.
However, the fat tubes are not just eye candy. The tube ends are fitted with LED lights that are automatically powered by sunlight. The leather saddle, the upright seat and the compact handlebar position, which softens the unwavering directional stability of the chassis with a negative stem length, are reminiscent of the model Dutch bike.
