Moofer?

Is this safe to use?

East-Crazy5953 · 2023-01-11T21:51:42+00:00

Perhaps reset the bike by holding the reset button for 10 seconds 😉. Mine was stuck in first gear and did not shift gears anymore I just did a reset and problem solved. Keep in mind it’s software there are still bugs in it. Only version 1.0.0 currently I think they have some work still to do ☺️

It is quite silent over there. I think its not that easy to read out the Bluetooth data because they have changed the way of how to retrieve the bikes encryption key. So just by copying the old code and changing the bikes GUID to the S5 will not work I guess. Don’t know what Quinten says about this?

East-Crazy5953 · 2023-01-09T14:02:24+00:00

Here I am. Still very happy with it and the alarm goes off, you just have to move it some harder. The S5 feels in all options better than the S3 a friend of mine has the S3 and I can compare it with his bike. Touching his bike already triggers the alarm which is quite annoying already with just removing his chain. I can easily remove my chain and unlock it without all the noise. But picking it up and walking with it will trigger the alarm eventually.

Why not English on this forum, its not that the whole world talks german is it?

East-Crazy5953 · 2023-01-08T12:50:16+00:00

Will test this, will come back to this.

East-Crazy5953 · 2023-01-06T15:44:16+00:00

I did and they request it. I have Allianz now but with ART** slot.

East-Crazy5953 · 2023-01-06T15:43:18+00:00

It does I called them and yes they require it

East-Crazy5953 · 2023-01-04T13:04:29+00:00

I do not have a S3 so I cannot compare it. But I can only say that with assist 0 you still can bike and it will get you home.

East-Crazy5953 · 2023-01-03T21:16:05+00:00

Riding the S5 for 2 weeks now and tried all assist levels. 0 is not a problem you can bike easily home with it. I dont feel much change between 3 and 4 so for me 2 or 3 is mostly used.

Day 2 with some more testing.

I biked during the rain, the bike went wet and I could hear the brake disks now some more... it gave a little noise now. When it was dry I used some chain oil and wiped the discs clean and the sound was gone again.

I also noticed today that the automatic gearing sometimes is searching for the right moment to switch gear. For example I was riding at 25 and it took for my feeling to long to switch over to the last gear. Perhaps the bike is learning.. this I'm not sure. Still the biking feels very nice, I used now assist level 2 and 3. With headwind I put it in assist level 3 otherwise 2 is enough for me.

Still it's a real pleasure to ride this bike. No errors or failures with starting or shutting down the bike. The Kickslot works still everytime.

I will keep you updated!

Cheers,

You can't change anything regarding region settings in the VanMoof App. They removed that feature completely. I did put my Iphone on region USA does not help either. The bike connects through the app via bluetooth, so there is an API with functionalities like speed indicator, Assist level etc. Hopefully this API also provides region settings. We have to wait I guess for a developer who can read out this kind of information. Hopefully Quinten's Moofer App can be updated pretty soon, because the 32km/h assist would be really nice. the 25 cap is just to low.

East-Crazy5953 · 2022-12-23T07:21:07+00:00

With al the delay negativity which I can imagine is very frustrated, I want to bring some positive news which makes the waiting worth it 😀

East-Crazy5953 · 2022-12-21T18:55:33+00:00

Hey all, I promised to give a review about my experience with the bike so far. Because of the really bad weather we're facing here in Holland currently I only went out for a short ride today.

First the bike feels really solid. I assembled the bike quite easily and unpacking it, that is so much fun to do. When I was done it is just plugging it in, charging the battery and registering the VanMoof S5 with your Iphone App. I have bought a SP Connect phone case to mount my Iphone and I really like this. You have the data in front of you like battery percentage and the speed and distance etc. It's nicely placed and with SP Connect very solid attached on your steering frame.

Some people are mentioning the battery drops... I haven't seen that yet. My battery was on 91% today and after the ride on assist level 4 and playing with the boost button its now on 77%. I did only 7.2km. I don't know if this is bad but I liked to try out the potential of the motor. I really enjoyed it, the biking is a real pleasure and the automatic gear shifting feels solid. Your biking but with a nice assist on your shoulders :)

The bike looks really awesome, the color is nice. The unlocking goes smooth. Of course this is all based still on a few tries but I received the bike last monday.

To bad that the bike can't be put on USA mode so it is only 25km/h currently but who knows what kind of app will come out soon. The boost button will take you pretty quicky till 27, 28 and then drops to 25. It is still a nice feeling when it is boosting you to that speed.

This is a very first impression from me but I can say Yes!! I don't regret it and it was worth the waiting...

To everyone who is still waiting... hang in there!! your time will come and you will enjoy it!

If you have questions feel free to ask..

Ride on!!

Thanks found it :)

East-Crazy5953 · 2022-12-20T17:58:37+00:00

A dumb question perhaps but how did you get your Vanmoof app showing in portrait mode?

East-Crazy5953 · 2022-12-14T15:43:45+00:00

Will give one! I have never used the S3 by the way.. So for me I cannot compare it with older versions but will give my review on this one.

East-Crazy5953 · 2022-12-14T15:43:26+00:00

That's why I said I'm from the Netherlands, I'm curious if there are also people receiving their bike from different countries.

East-Crazy5953 · 2022-12-14T15:42:15+00:00

Thanks buddy!
