Vanmoof's S3 is the first electric bike I've seen parked on campus that made me stop and look twice. Hidden inside the top tube, the battery disappears completely, and integrated front and rear lights make it look like a regular bicycle that happens to be from the future. The boost button on the handlebars is satisfying to press, and anti-theft tracking gives you a reason to feel okay locking it up outside.
