cover #19 vanmoof bikes

for this issue of purple, we asked four artists to reimagine vanmoof’s electric hybrid bicyclesas a personal accessory for the future.

vanmoof’s high-tech minimalist bikes — fitted with an integrated power source and automated gears — are revolutionizing everyday mobility: an ultra-smooth, fashionable, and modern way to navigate the city.
