In a 45-second TV spot, reflections of industrial everyday life ripple onto the roof of the car, becoming a mirror of the rat race that city dwellers are exposed to. We see traffic jams, hear traffic with its noisy exhaust and see hordes of people on public transport. Then the car melts through the 3D simulation. The new S3 e-bike comes out of the hangover.

The campaign comes after the successful launch of the new VanMoof S3 & X3 electric vehicle, which has been on sale since the end of April. The campaign will be on TV in the Netherlands and Germany from this week and will follow over the summer with Out Of Home and Online others Core Markets Such as the United Kingdom, France, the United States and Japan.

With success, because the bicycle maker is growing rapidly. From 2018 to 2019, VanMoof quadrupled its turnover from 10 to 40 million euros.
