VanMoof

VanMoof is a global bicycle manufacturer headquartered in the Netherlands. The name is a Dutch spin on the word "move". The company started in 2009 with a line of traditional bikes, later moving solely to e-bikes. With bikes produced in Taiwan and sold in 32 countries, it had flagship stores in cities such as Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, London, Tokyo and New York. After VanMoof's Dutch entities were declared bankrupt by the Court of Amsterdam on July 17, 2023, its units in Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States filed for bankruptcy the following month. On August 31, 2023, it was announced that it was acquired by e-scooter maker Lavoie, a subsidiary of British automotive technology company McLaren Applied.
