The lineup

Why people buy here twice
We are a shop with a workshop attached, not a dropshipper with a logo. That difference shows up the first time something needs fixing.
01
Assembled here, by hand
Every unit is unboxed, torqued, trued and road-tested in Rotterdam before it ships. The signed check sheet travels in the box.
02
Parts for eight years
We stock controllers, cells, brake sets and screens for eight years after a model launches. Nothing here becomes disposable in 2028.
03
Ranges we measured
Published range figures come from our own loop through Rotterdam and Kralingen with a 78 kg rider on assist level 3, not from a factory spec sheet.
04
Mobile service across the Randstad and Belgium
Book a van in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Antwerp or Brussels and a mechanic comes to your street. Elsewhere in the EU we send a prepaid crate, service the bike within 48 hours of arrival and send it back.
05
Battery health report
Every service includes a printed cell-level health report, so you know the state of your pack before you sell the bike — not after.

Pick the right one
Three questions decide almost every purchase: how far, how hilly, and where do you park it. Choose the profile that sounds like you.
Under 10 km, flat, parked indoors
Take the Dash S3 if you carry it up stairs or combine it with a train, and the VR-1 Commuter if you want to arrive without thinking about maintenance. Both handle Dutch and German city infrastructure without modification.
Add the Rider Kit: in this profile the lock matters more than the motor.

- Real range needed
- 25–40 km
- Weight matters
- Yes — stairs
- Typical spend
- €749 – €1 690
- Service interval
- Every 1 500 km
15 km or more, wind, hills, all weather
Go for the VR Trail X if there is any climbing, or the Dash Pro if you need to fold it into an office. At this distance a mid-drive motor and a pack above 700 Wh stop being a luxury.
Mudguards, a dynamo light and winter tyres are worth more than another 10 Nm of torque.

Kids, crates, or a business to run
The Cargo Haul L replaces a second car for most families inside a ring road. 180 kg of payload, a two-leg stand that actually stays up, and a box that takes two child seats.
Business buyers: we invoice ex-VAT within the EU and can register a small fleet under one service contract.

Reviews come from verified orders, 60 days after delivery, when the novelty has worn off and the real opinion has arrived.
★★★★★
“Sold the second car in March. The Cargo Haul does the school run, the market and my deliveries, and the two free services meant I have spent nothing on it since.”

★★★★★
“Ordered the Dash Pro to Antwerp on a Tuesday, riding it Thursday. A spoke pinged after a month, they sent a mechanic to my street on the Saturday. That is the whole review.”
TM
Thomas M.Antwerp · Dash Pro
★★★★☆
“The published 118 km range is honest, which I did not expect. Knocked off a star because the app is basic — although the bike works perfectly without ever opening it.”

Rider gear
Helmets, locks and lights we would use ourselves
We stock four helmets, two locks and three light sets — not forty. Everything on the shelf is something a mechanic here rides with, and every lock we sell is rated Sold Secure Gold or higher, which is what most EU insurers require before they will pay out on a theft claim.
Buy gear with a bike and the Rider Kit bundle takes €60 off the total.

Questions before the first ride
No licence is required anywhere in the EU for a 25 km/h pedal-assist e-bike, and third-party insurance is optional in most countries. E-scooters are regulated nationally: the Netherlands, Germany, France and Belgium each have their own registration or plate rules, and we ship every scooter with the correct type-approval paperwork for the delivery country. If you are unsure, tell us where you live before ordering and we will confirm in writing.
Our packs retain at least 80 % of their original capacity after 800 full charge cycles — roughly six years of a 20 km daily commute. Keep the pack between 20 % and 80 % for daily use, store it around half charge in winter, and never leave it below 10 % for weeks. Replacement cells are stocked for eight years after a model launches, and a pack swap costs between €290 and €480 depending on the model.
Two ways. Book a free 30-minute test ride at the Vierhavens workshop in Rotterdam, or order online and use the 14-day home test ride: ride it in your own traffic, in your own weather, up your own hill. If it does not fit your life, we arrange a free collection and refund the full amount, including any gear bought with the bike.
Five years on the frame, three years on the motor and controller, and two years on the battery with a guaranteed 70 % minimum capacity in year two. Wear parts — tyres, brake pads, chains, belts, grips — are excluded, as is damage from crashes, unauthorised modification or pressure washing. Full detail is in our terms & conditions.
The first two services are free for every bike and scooter we sell. After that a full workshop service is €69: brake bleed, drivetrain, spoke tension, torque check, firmware update and a printed battery health report. Mobile service at your address in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Antwerp or Brussels adds €25. Elsewhere in the EU we send a prepaid crate and return the bike within 48 hours of it reaching the workshop.
Yes — 36-month financing through our EU partner at 0 % APR on orders above €700, subject to approval. There is no deposit and no early-settlement fee. Business customers can lease instead, with maintenance bundled into the monthly rate; write to [email protected] for a fleet quote.
