27.03.2022 — If the history repeats itself, then on April 5, VanMoof will likely (%99) introduce the new lineup as S5 & X5. Since they never used the number ‘4’.

A part of VanMoof History

VanMoof Reveal on April 5, 2022

29.03.22 — VanMoof S5 spotted first time in the wild! The photo was taken by Marielle and shared in the VanMoofing facebook group.

Seems like the down tube has a new design which may mean more battery for range and power. The e-shifter seems to be moved to the bottom bracket, hopefully for stepless gear shifting.


30.03.22 — Here are the changes we were mentioning under vanmoofer.com since years. Seems like they all are going to be true soon.


01.04.22 — A new YouTube video from VanMoof is giving hints about the features.

VanMoof’s new YouTube video, disclosing new features.

It seems that the obstacle detection sensor is inside the smart cartridge. The black area of the rear light is likely to be the sensor. The part above the rear wheel and under the rear light has a ⚡️ icon, it can be the charging and/or the data port. Still unclear whether the S5 has a removable battery and a belt drive.


VanMoof will introduce two new e-bikes: VanMoof S5 & VanMoof A5 during the reveal on Tuesday (April 5). It’s still unclear if there will be an X (X5) frame this year.

We found a trademark application for VanMoof A5 filed in the United States on 24.02.22. It is official.
