Unstealable Electric Bicycles

The VanMoof Electrified X2 Uses Tech and Manpower to Stay Safe

— May 29, 2018 — Autos
In most cities, the unfortunate reality for cyclists is that the municipal police force won't do much to respond to instances of bike theft, so the VanMoof Electrified X2 gives riders peace of mind by outfitting them with their own personal bike militia. That might sound intense, but VanMoof's appropriately named Peace of Mind service equips any VanMoof Electrified X2 owner with a team of Bike Hunters who promise to scour the city -- and indeed the globe -- to track down and return a stolen ride.

VanMoof's bicycles are all equipped with powerful GPS tracking, and this lets the Bike Hunters know where a stolen ride is. The Hunters should thus be able to find any stolen ride, but if they can't within two weeks, VanMoof will give riders a free new bicycle to make up for it.
Trend Themes
1. GPS Tracking - The use of powerful GPS tracking technology in bicycles presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in bike theft prevention.
2. Bike Hunters - The emergence of bike hunter services provides a unique solution to recover stolen bicycles and disrupt the bike theft industry.
3. Peace of Mind Service - The development of comprehensive bike protection services like VanMoof's Peace of Mind service offers a disruptive innovation opportunity to enhance the safety and security of cyclists.
Industry Implications
1. Bicycles - The bicycle industry can benefit from integrating GPS tracking technology and bike hunter services into their products to address the issue of bike theft.
2. Security Services - The security services industry can explore opportunities to collaborate with bike manufacturers and provide specialized bike recovery services.
3. Urban Mobility - The urban mobility industry can leverage disruptive innovations in bike theft prevention to promote and encourage cycling as a sustainable and secure mode of transportation.
