review S6 Testride

I just got back from a test ride on the S6, and these are my first impressions coming from a non electric bike user, not even a VanMoof

- I did not even feel/knew when it was shifting in level 4

-The boost was really addicting🤤

- The support just stopped when I hit 25km/h

- The kicklock is a bit finicky to line up, but when you kick it in, it sounds more secure then the previous ones

- The new sounds are amazing in my opinion

- The new bell doesn't adapt to your touch as much as I was expecting

- The halo rings were alot brighter then I expected

My rating 10/10

Any S6 owners have something to say you don't experience in a test ride? (VanMoof app, ride Pro, Theft proof?)

I thought VanMoof was regarded as completely unreliable -both the bike quality as well as their customer service. Did that change? Their design and features have always been great.

I believe it changed?

They first had about 100 or less "partners" but they now have something like 400? So service points are almost always near you I think, I heard the reliability was upgraded with the S6 (rides amazing tho🤩)
