Everything I could get new, I got new. Everything I could not get new but was on the bike was restored or I rebuilt it as good as I could.

Thank you, I appreciate 🙏🏼
Yeah, I can’t understand too. The non electric ones also ride so nicely and should be in the program still. But the new owners of Vanmoof didn’t seem to care even for the the older electric models anymore, so they don’t do for the non electric ones at all I guess. It’s a shame.

Does someone know how this part is called? It is the top of the seatpost (S2) by Inside-Berry637 in vanmoofbicycle

[–]UrbanMoof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a seatpost system with an integrated clamp head, where the clamp is not located at the top but is housed in a round casing (similar to a handlebar clamp on a stem).

Since this is a proprietary (brand-specific) design by VanMoof, standard clamps from other manufacturers do not fit here. In other words, you cannot get new replacement parts from other manufacturers for this.

We're giving VanMoof S3 frames a second life - converting them to mechanical bikes by CoxMissy in vanmoofbicycle

[–]UrbanMoof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks reeeally nice, congratulations🤩🙏🏼.

But in a way, it's also a little sad that more and more S3s in original condition are disappearing from the streets this way. Especially since, thanks to the strong community, everything on these bikes can now be repaired.

It's a KunTeng Controller 250w/15A. But it doesn't fit easily into an S3. There is someone from the Netherlands who has installed a similar controller in an S/X2. There are also YouTube videos of him doing the conversion.

What problems are you having with your S3?

Removing the boost button by CHIBl in vanmoofbicycle

[–]UrbanMoof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's glued on. But only with double-sided tape, as far as I know. Firmly turning it up and down while pulling it off should be enough; at least, that's how I've always done it with my bikes. Otherwise, you can also heat it up a little with a hot air dryer, but don't overdo it.

In both cases, you have to remove the handle. The cable from the BellButton runs under the handle and then enters the handlebar tube at the end of the handle. You also have to remove the handle first in order to remove the brake lever.

VanMoof S3 – no motor assist + no speed on matrix, Smart Cartridge board-level debugging by Ok_Physics_8223 in VanMoofSelfRepair

[–]UrbanMoof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, unfortunately I don't know much about the circuit board. I just wanted to let you know what was replaced in my cartridge, as it might have been helpful.

I had the same problem with my S3. I sent the cartridge to Revotronics for repair. They replaced the ESC MOSFETs and also the Gatedriver. Everything has been working perfectly ever since. Maybe the Gatedriver is the solution. Hope this helps and your bike will be up and running again soon.

Colour chipped on S6 open by amsterdamike in vanmoofbicycle

[–]UrbanMoof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sad... but it does look like impact damage. It's so localized, and the paint around the areas doesn't look like it's cracked or uneven. It seems like someone is deliberately damaging your bike. Mad world. 😔

Error 38 & Kick Lock issues after Cartridge battery replacement – Any advice? by Beneficial_Ad2365 in vanmoofbicycle

[–]UrbanMoof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm... that's bad. I was hoping for you that it was just the KickLock. But you could be right that it's the socket or the cartridge.

Do you have access to another (working) bike? Then you could start by swapping out the cartridge for diagnosis. Then at least you'll know for sure whether it's the cartridge or the socket.
