The smart and stylish electric bike

The VANMOOF Electrified bicycle is worth a whopping $3,000 -- and it comes decked out with built-in GPS tracking, an integrated rechargeable battery and a sturdy, but lightweight anodized aluminum frame. The Electrified has a range of up to 60km, and offers two levels of electric assist controlled by a handy, low-profile dashboard positioned on the top tube next to the headset. Previous-gen models have been touted as the most intelligent commuter bike in the world, and this latest update takes everything up a notch. Plus, it just looks really cool.
