If you remember last year I briefly mentioned that I had taken a big trip 'Abroad'. This Vanmoof you see below was found waiting outside in the sunshine whilst we waited for the ferry to go see the Statue of Liberty - and being all the way from Amsterdam it, like us, was pretty far from home. I like it's dadaist utility* and am strangely drawn to it's walled tyres. Are they wrong?
Vanmoof - an Amsterdam company - make electric bikes but I think I'm right in saying that this is not one of those. There were a couple of touches for convenience stylishly executed such as the easy access red back light. The breadbox at the top seems to be a customisation from the owner as apposed to a company add on which is something I always like to see, especially on a bike whose chunky functional looks could put people off.
What do you guys think? Is this kind of thing right up your street or is it a dark alley best left untrod?
