A couple of months ago, we took a VanMoof electric-bike for a test ride in Paris. While there are a ton of electric-bikes in the streets of Paris, the VanMoof Electrified X2 looks like no other. The frame is a single piece of aluminum that looks futuristic. On the handlebar, you’re not going to find any speed as the bike has an integrated automatic speed hub — motor assistance kicks in automatically when you need it the most. And when you press the boost button, you get an extra burst of acceleration.

    It’s sad that you had to speak in English; French would have sounded more authentic and less forced. Subtitles can always be enabled.

    Plus, you avoid errors like 01:56 – “top shelf” (at least in British English) refers to adult material, so-called because placing it on the highest shelf in a newsagent’s shop was supposed to be out of the reach and eyeline of children.
