r/VanMoofSelfRepair

I am hoping some of you can help me, as I have watched all the videos on the S40 and as many posts as i can on here, but am still unable to get this part of the internal rear hub undone. I know based on the video that its the left part that gets undone, but that metal bit that is before the nut feels impossible to get removed. it spins freely but thats about it. Can anyone with experience with this help me get this figured out ?

This hub that I got from a high mileage bike is really bad atm and is in dire need of cleaning - degreasing - greasing. I am at a point where i have now fixed every component of an S/X3 and this is my first venture into the rear wheel, which i have always feared before and still kinda do :D

Hey everyone,
I'm looking for an STL file to 3D print a replacement for the VanMoof S3/X3 motor cable connector cover (shown in the attached image).
Has anyone created or found a model/STL for this exact part on Printables, Thingiverse, MakerWorld, or elsewhere?
If you have a link or a file you'd be willing to share, it would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi all, I hope you’re well.

I’m in the process of clearing out some old items since my S3 was stolen (again) in Copenhagen a couple of years ago and I have finally given up hope of finding it.. this includes a brand new original e-shifter that Vanmoof sent me when I was experiencing some problems. Unfortunately the thieves got to my bike before I could take it to the mechanics.

I understand these are hard to find so hoping someone here can make use of it.

Selling for 1800kr/€240 with PayPal. Open to reasonable offers too.

Feel free to message me if you are interested or have any questions.

Thanks

Just got my S6 today! 🚲 After 6 years with my S3, recurring Error 44 and 45 issues and a €1,000 repair estimate convinced me it was time to move on. I sold it for €100, which was disappointing, but I still love the brand. For me, VanMoof is the iPhone of bikes. Here's hoping the S6 delivers the reliability I've been waiting for! 🙌 #VanMoof #S6 #ebike

Hi! I’m rebuilding a VanMoof S3 front hub motor and ran into something unexpected.

When I separated the motor from the hub, several small steel bearing balls fell out from the cable/wire side of the motor. I also found a small C-shaped metal piece that may be part of a broken bearing cage/retainer.

Around the shaft on the cable side there is a rusty ring/groove that looks like it could be the bearing race.

Has anyone rebuilt this motor before and knows:
Where the balls should sit
What the C-shaped piece is
Whether the rusty ring is the bearing race
Whether this bearing can be replaced separately
The planetary gears look fine.
Photos attached. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is a original Vanmoof Düsenjäger, another bike out of my small Vanmoof bike collection.
The bike was released in 2011 and is based on the 28" frame of the Vanmoof No.5. The Düsenjäger a modified limited edition of the No.5 and was limited to 300 bikes produced. The difference to the No.5 is not just the red powder coated Sturmey Arche hubs and rims, it's also got frame color matching fenders from the company Curana, the frame is coated in a beautiful silver witch is not just a paint, it's bare anodized aluminum. The rear hub is a 2speed kickshift with rear coaster, and the integrated chain lock is a cooperation between Vanmoof and Abus based on the Abus Granit CityChain X Plus.
I'm happy to have this bike in it's original condition in my collection and to share this lovely little piece of Vanmoof history with you.
Let me know what you think of this piece of art?
Have a good one everybody ✌🏻☀️

Hi, I have a faulty S3 eshifter (error 44) for sale if anyone would be interested in purchasing and reconditioning themselves.
Thank you!

Used bike seller: No worry. The bike was always stored in a dry barn.

When I turned the bike upside down, it gurgled and a few liters of water ran out of the frame.
It's running like a charm again.
