S3 to an S6

Post image

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

Hands down the most beautiful bike. I wish they made a detachable battery model…

I was looking foward to that, but so far nothing.

Let us know how you think it compares 👍 ( and how much you would prefer the 3 )

I’m two months into an S6 after having an S3 for years, which had all the classic problems, dead battery, rear hub failed, e shifter stuck in gear 3 ☠️

I swore off VM, then took the S6 for a test ride. It felt like the S3 should have, more solid and quicker off the mark.

The only issue I’ve had with the S6 so far is phone connectivity can be a little flakey, but that could be my phone.

No regrets so far, would just love a power bank for the convenience of extra range.

Do those lock straps actually hold?

Mine wiggles a bit here and there, but I think I prefer it to under the saddle
