# Celeb-Backed E-Bikes Rapper Lil Simz Teases VanMoof's Newest E-Bike Model By Niko Pajkovic | Published 2022-04-05 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lil-simz References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2022/4/little-simz-vanmoof-s4-teaser-details-watch-unveiling) & [vanmoof](https://www.vanmoof.com/en) Amsterdam-based fashion label [VanMoof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanmoof-1) has unveiled teaser images of its very first e-bike. The new bike was teased by up-and-coming London rapper and 'Top Boy' star Little Simz, who posted two pictures of herself cruising through Amsterdam on the new model. Of course, tapping notable celebs and having them use their products in an authentic way has always been VanMoof's go-to promotional tactic. For example, Tyler, The Creator, Frank Ocean, and Simon Porte have all been captured riding a VanMoof bike in the past, which, in turn, helped the brand build legitimacy. As of right now, very little is known about the new bike, though speculation has it that it will be VanMoof's new [S4](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanmoof-s4-and-x4) model. According to the company, full details will be revealed on April 5.
