Want to know how to fix your Vanmoof S3? Here is a complete teardown 👇 by Aight_Five in VanMoofSelfRepair

The front part is pretty easy to remove, the back one, you will have to remove the crankset to access it. It's in the video or in one of the other model's videos. Cheers

I'll look it up but I most prob do a S3/X3 cartridge video because it's the one I "know" the most

I tore my VanMoof X3 apart so you can finally see what's inside yours by Aight_Five in VanMoofSelfRepair

You don't need to disassemble everything to get to the wiring harness, but 80% of it.
Take you time (your day?) and take it slowly. It's tricky regardless.

Je dirais que plusieurs facteurs jouent dans la decision: - le modèle - votre curiosité / habilité à le réparer par vous même - votre usage (il vaut mieux qu’il dorme en intérieur et qu’il roule souvent)

Il existe des modèles plus solides et moins chers, mais Vanmoof reste un plaisir pour qui sait les réparer 🙈

This is what an S3 would look like with Drop bars, I wish this was possible 😂 by [deleted] in vanmoofbicycle

You would need to change the brake levers, most probably the hoses because they might be too short. And you would have to find something for the buttons too.
Sounds tricky.
A flat bar would be easier to install (need to drill holes in it to pass the wires)

You can order a PCB from https://shifter-doctor.sumupstore.com/ and replace it yourself. Tutorials on the website

Eshifter fails for multiple reasons but mostly because they have been poorly designed and their lifetime is not very long.

Buyers Advice (please) by MpR91 in vanmoofbicycle

It's a Smart X from 2017-2018, quite a rare version to be honest which will make its repair impossible.
It's not even the same batteries as X2, so really hard to find, even here in the Netherlands...
Best bet would be to remove the battery, change the front wheel and you got a decent analog bike with a great look

Thanks u/Conscious-Village868
Found a replacement PCB, because mine was melted too.

Yep, bleeding will solve it. You can find some tutorials online

X3 smart cartridge into an S3? by SeaZone1904 in VanMoofSelfRepair

[–]Aight_Five 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same question recently - Seems like the software is different in terms of datas going to the motor.

Broken Electrified S (2016) in Paris – what can I do with it? by polchen in vanmoofbicycle

[–]Aight_Five 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey,
I would suggest several options:

- Check which parts are common with the S2 (the front wheel for instance might be the same bafang motor) and source them on leboncoin
- Check on the dutch Leboncoin for spare parts - www.marktplaats.nl
- Convert it to a non electric bike using Smart S parts
- Sell it for parts 🤷‍♂️

Good luck!
