VanMoof, the electric bike brand that’s been integrated into Apple’s ‘Find My’ network, recently unveiled its first high-speed ‘hyperbike’.
While the VanMoof V will sport a similar minimalist design to its predecessors, the new model will be able to go up to 31 mph, a new top speed for the company.

According to Engadget, the firm said the brand-new ride could be a possible replacement for cars, especially in dense cities that don’t require too much travel. The design has also been adjusted for more comfort over longer distances, with the bike consisting of thicker tires, new designs for its frame, and front and rear suspensions.
As with most electric vehicles coming to market, the VanMoof V boasts a slew of high-tech features. These include intelligent motor control, the brand’s signature ‘Turbo Boost’ feature, keyless locking, and automatic gear shifting. There are even anti-theft measures to ensure your bike doesn’t get stolen.

The firm also revealed that the new battery will have a capacity of 700 wH, more than the VanMoof S3’s 504 wH. Currently, it sells a power bank for its other models, though it’s unclear if riders will also be able to juice up the new bike on the go.
It’s speculated that VanMoof will release the hyperbike sometime late next year. The model is expected to cost US$3,598, though invite-only reservations are being issued to current customers for US$20.
If you’re planning to get your hands on one, and don’t have access to the invite-only codes, head over to the waitlist here.
