Changing saddle on S6 Open

Hi there, very new to Vanmoof. Bought my S6 open just over a month ago and loving it so far. Did my longest ride on it over the weekend (55km) and it had me thinking about changing the saddle.

My road bike (which I use primarily on the trainer) has a selle Italia with gaps for tender bits. It’s also a bit narrower.

Just wondering if it is possible or how to go about changing to a selle italia or similar cos I’m used to it?

I know there is the suspension seat post but the but that joins to the saddle seems to be the same as the standard one.

Many thanks in advance!

S3 creaking while pedaling

Hi all, US based S3 with a little over 1,100 mi (1770 km) and starting to hear a creak while pedaling. I’ve done some looking around on the forums and I suspect it may be the bottom bracket? Wondering if anyone else has encountered this.

Vanmoof S5 can't be charged after battery discharged in winter

Hi,

I am also one of the few that didn't charge the bicycle all winter and got to this point now that I can't charge the bike.

I tried all the tips and tricks I cloud find here:

- Charge from the debug port (more then 10 cycles)

- Connect and disconnect the charger

- Disassembly the ECU, disconnect the battery, and put everything back

The only "result" I got from all tries is the halo ring blinking in red for a while and then the bike turn off.

I couldn't get the charger change to red in any of the times.

Any other ideas what I can try? I would go to service point, but seems there aren't available in Norway.

Thanks!

E-shifter Tightening S3

By now I have removed and replaced the eshifter on S3s more times than I can count.

What I still fail to understand is how much tightening does it need, inc inserted, with the wheel nut that comes after the washer.

If I had a torque wrench what value should I set it to, but also if I don't, how many turns approx until im there. I have tried so many variations and I can never seem to get it fully right.

Eshifter stuck in 3rd or 4th gear

Hi, can anybody let me know if this is an easy fix?

I have a vanmoof s3 2021 with only 11 miles on, however it has an error 44 code, I’m in the UK.

Is there a reason for the common e shifter problem or is there something I can do to try and fix this as the bike literally has not been used at all.

Thanks

Is the electric S3 still worth it?

I’m looking to buy a refurbished S3, this includes a new wiring harness, new battery, new brakes, new improved e-shifter and new buttons.

Is the risk of failure still high or are they just like any other e-bike?

Also, what would be a fair price for this?

whole new pack of cells, still not working

I had a S3 battery which was deep discharged. I changed the cells and soldered the new ones to the BMS. Now, the cartridge is giving out Err20, 6 and 17. I already did multiple resets on the BMS via RST and GND and also Cartridge Resets. What could I try next?

S3 battery manual charge

My s3 battery is deep discharged after it being stored for a few months. Now I want to charge it up via the discharge ports with a lab charger device. I would do it outside and watch it the whole time, but I heard some people saying it's really dangerous. I don't really have to lose anything more than a dead battery. But just to be sure, I read about checking the individual cells. How exactly would I do that? Thanks

New VanMoof owner in Cologne 👋

Finally part of the VanMoof club.
Today I picked up my very first VanMoof and honestly, I couldn’t be happier.

The pickup somehow felt surreal, and the ride home was absolutely incredible. It’s also my very first e-bike.

On my first ride, someone already stopped me to tell me how awesome the bike looks 😂

I think it’s safe to say I’m already completely in love with it. Looking forward to many rides ahead and any tips for a new owner are more than welcome.

Long delivery time

Hi all,

I‘m interested in getting a vanmoof as a company bike. The website says up to 75 days. Are there any faster ways to get the S6 in the Rhine Main Area?

Thank you!
