X3 shipping Mode bug ?!

**VanMoof X3 won't turn on without plugging in the charger – randomly goes into shipping mode?**

Hey everyone,

I've been having a really frustrating issue with my VanMoof X3 lately. Sometimes the bike simply won't turn on at all — the only way to get it going is to plug in the charger first, and then it starts up fine.

This happens randomly and is getting pretty annoying, especially when I just want to hop on and ride.

My guess is that the bike is somehow putting itself into **shipping mode** on its own, which would explain why it needs the charger to "wake up". Has anyone else experienced this?

Some details:
- Bike: VanMoof X3
- Issue: Won't power on without charger connected
- Battery level when it happens: varies, not always low
- Happens randomly, not after long periods of inactivity

Has anyone found a fix or knows what's causing this? Is there a firmware update or a way to prevent it from entering shipping mode by itself?

Thanks in advance! 🙏
