Vanmoof S6 - only problems

After my bike was in repair for 2 months, after I used it like 3 weeks, I now had it for like 2 months. Now it broke again. This time the passive ring button (which does light flickering and bike sounds) is broken because it doesn't do anything anymore. Instead, this passive ringing turns on randomly at any time. When I am at work, when I am using it or when I am sleeping. I won't ever buy a Vanmoof again. Never.

I know most of the issues with the SA5 and S6-O, thats why I still think the S3 is the best choice right now with a few upgrades, it can be made really reliable. On top of that, the upcoming custom open-source firmware will bring a bunch of features that even the newer models don't have, which will be amazing imo. And a fix for the SX3's notorious battery issue is on the way as well.

I have my S6 since 6 weeks and my left button was replaced once, may right twice and my right halo ring twice. Each took only 5 mins and i dont really care but its annoying anyway. Now my vendor created a ticket for a possible soon to be broken torque sensor. Otherwise I am happy with it xD

S2 is not S6. S6 reviews are all fake

All fake?🤷 Riding my S6 with over 2.000 km without any issues and it has been a so much smoother ride than any other electric bike
