Moof bike is a chunky hunk of pedaltasticalness

moof_3.jpg

On first glance, the Moof bicycle looks like a high school metal-shop DIY project, but on closer inspection this bike boils down the single-speed revolution into a bold fashion statement. Encased in each end of its top tube is a solar-powered LED flasher, making nighttime rides a little safer. The old-school leather saddle is a nice addition to the overall spartan look of the two-wheeled work of art. This bike will be $500 soon at Areaware.

Hi Mates,

You can buy this bike also in Australia!

Take a look on vanmoof.com.au

It looks a neat bike, but it's a single speed, hardly appropriate for hilly areas surely. And I wonder how efective the solar powered lights are really, surely a hub would have been more self-reliant.

Nice bike though, I'ld probably be more interested in a 3 speed international version for my part of Britain.

Bought one. Problems with the rear wheel within one day. Lights were working fine. AFter one week the crankset started to get loose. Returned the bike.
Nice design but no real good quality.
