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?

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

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?

Custom made VanMoof No3 from 2009one of the first models they made when he company started

It takes me almost three months to finish this project, but it turns out pretty nice e
The bike was completely stripped and got a new paint job in glossy white with a new decal in brushed aluminum dark green.
All components bin cleaned, serviced, painted and polished.
New tires are Schwalbe road cruiser in 28X1.75 with white walls.
Front and rear break caliper are brand new from Dia-Compe.
And for a digital upgrade the cockpit got a Beeline Velo 2.

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.

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

Can someone send me a vanmoof invoice from 2021?

Hi guys, my problem is basically that i lost my original invoice from 2021 and Vanmoof cant provide it to my insurance. Basically i have everything including te proof of delivery just not my official vanmoof invoice. The insurance company wants a document though, so i would like to provide something similar. Can someone get me a screenshot with their address removed?

I read some old posts talking about reliability and lack of certainty with the bankruptcy, but it's been a while.

How do people feel about Van Moofs today? Any pitfalls to avoid when buying now?

Yesterday, with the nice weather, I wanted to take my Vanmoof out for a ride again. It worked fine until a certain point, and then it just stopped working. I couldn’t turn it on no matter which button I pressed. Luckily, I didn’t have the Kick Look installed, so I was able to make it home with some effort. That’s really annoying with this bike…

Once home, I was able to get it working again with the charger. The battery was at 74%, so it wasn’t dead.

I got a replacement battery last year. But I don’t understand this issue. It’s impossible to go on a ride without worrying that you won’t make it back home.

Does anyone have any ideas on how else to get the bike going again while out on the road?

Just scored this for $100. Know very little about it but it looks funky and would've cool to roll up to the bar in. Anyone have any cool facts to share? Thanks.

So my S3 has the well recorded issue of the loom having been damaged in the front fork. I really CBA to do a full loom replacement. Is it possible, and has anyone ever just managed to repair and reinforce the section where the damage occurs without dismantling the entire ebike?

Hi, ich habe mir einen Range Extender gekauft, der noch neu ist und noch nie im Einsatz war. Leider geht er nicht an obwohl ich ihn jetzt schon seit 24 Stunden lade. Ich vermute, dass es sich um ein Tiefschlaf handelt, da kein Lampe leuchtet etc. Ich bräuchte bitte Hilfe, wie ich den RE aufwecke oder was ich machen kann... DANKE
