Amsterdam’s VanMoof returns to the United Kingdom: All you need to know

Amsterdam-based VanMoof, an e-bike manufacturer, announced on Monday that it has started its operations in the UK and will sell its latest models — the re-engineered S5 and A5, in its newly built Partner Network across the country.

Currently, the sales network spans 8 locations – with 20 partners offering service for VanMoof bikes in the UK. This network will be expanded significantly across the coming months, says the company.

The announcement comes over a year after being acquired by McLaren Applied.

Eliott Wertheimer, VanMoof’s co-CEO, says, ‘’After over a year of hard work to bring the best VanMoof has to offer back to its riders, we are very happy to launch our re-engineered S5 and A5 in the UK via our expanding partner network.”

“As a long-time Londoner, it has been incredibly exciting to see the progress the country is making in creating the infrastructure that will support the rapid expansion of the e-bike market. Riding e-bikes is one of the most freeing and convenient experiences in cities, and our products are some of the greatest tools to maximise this experience and revolutionise what the industry can offer to its riders,” adds Wertheimer.

VanMoof expanding service networks and supplying partners

Additionally, the company is investing heavily in expanding its service network and supplying partners with original parts for the VanMoof S3, X3, and newer models.

All over the country new partners are being onboarded, trained, and supplied – all to keep riders on the road.

Back in August 2023, London-based LAVOIE, a premium e-mobility company backed by McLaren Applied acquired VanMoof.

The strategic move is part of LAVOIE’s global growth strategy to redefine premium e-mobility and transform movement in busy urban areas for a more enjoyable, active lifestyle.
