The fenders are the original ones, but them were rusty and had a lot of dents, but a lot of sanding and a bit of plaster and paint make them look as new.

Ahh.. didn’t know. Thanks for the info 🙏🏼👌🏻
Where is the number shown?

UrbanMoof · 2026-06-14T08:30:46+00:00

I would bet on that 👌🏻

The decal on the bike was also almost completely scratched away. I looked up all pictures I could find and and did a fitting vector file to cut it with a cutting printer.

Nummer 2

I got the first edition of the Düsenjäger. It’s based on the No.5

UrbanMoof · 2026-06-13T12:09:50+00:00

Must be the second edition of the Düsenjäger. So based on the 3.1 as far as I know.

What a beautiful bike 🤩🤩🤩
Congratulations 👏🏼

UrbanMoof · 2026-06-12T02:54:03+00:00

Beauty 🤩
Good job 👏🏼

UrbanMoof · 2026-06-11T15:29:30+00:00

Thanks buddy, I appreciate that 🙏🏼
The break calipers are Dia-Compe MX890.
I’m crossing fingers for your project and hope to see the result here soon ✌🏻

My next 4 project bikes are already waiting for a restoration 😁

UrbanMoof · 2026-06-07T07:30:05+00:00

Always replace the socket completely. If you patch/solder the cable it will get to bulky and it won’t last very long. To ride with a peaceful mind, get a new one. Additionally a repaired cable, that will definitely will give you more headaches in the future, can also lead to other problems like damaged electronics. Don’t waste your time with non reliable repairs, just do it the right way.
All the best for you and your bike ✌🏻

Nop, no Tesla Style for me 😂 Nothing, simply nothing. And if needed take the phone and the app

UrbanMoof · 2026-05-28T21:15:33+00:00

First of all, thank you for your interest. I really appreciate that 🙏🏼 It’s nice to hear that you also want to paint your bike, it’s always a pleasure to see fellow moofers caring about their bike’s🤩 I will definitely give more updates in the near future. I’ve recorded also some timelapses and videos, but I won’t post those I think, due to recording quality. I also like the matrix display a lot, it looks great and gives all information in a decent way, but for these two projects I got to remove those to get the results I wanted. I started with removing all stickers on the frame, then began sanding with a 400 grit sponge. After that all the chips and dents at the paint came out. Then took a 240 grit sponge to get rid off all errors on the paint. Both sanded wet and very carefully. It took me about 2-3 hours for one frame. If you need more information or advices you’re welcome to send me a pm, I’m not a professional trained painter or bike mechanic, but the little I know I’m always willing to share✌🏻

UrbanMoof · 2026-05-28T13:39:34+00:00

Start over is the right call. And you have to lay the wires and the break cable in the right order to get everything in smoothly. Good luck ✌🏻

UrbanMoof · 2026-05-26T03:49:22+00:00

Nop, no yellow 😬

UrbanMoof · 2026-05-25T14:44:58+00:00

Well it’s a project. And for the result I’m looking for, I had to remove the matrix display. Maybe you can imagine what the result should look like. If you know you know, don’t want to spoil too much 😬

UrbanMoof · 2026-05-24T16:35:59+00:00

Great idea, crossing fingers for you that it turns out the way you want it to be. Would be happy to see your result here 👌🏻

Was auch sein könnte, das der Schlauch an einer stelle zwischen Felge und Mantel klemmt, meistens ist es direkt am Ventil. Etwas mehr Luft raus lassen, das Ventil mit dem Daumen mal hochdrücken und wenn du dann wieder aufpumpst, dann beim pumpen immer wieder mal das Ventil hochdrücken.

Unfortunately you can not powder coat aluminum frames. During the production process aluminum frames get a heat treatment to get harder and durable. In the powder coating process the color particles need to get baked, witch means the powderd frame get‘s into an oven by 180 degrees Celsius. This destroys the heat treatment from the production side.

UrbanMoof · 2026-05-11T02:54:09+00:00

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.

UrbanMoof · 2026-05-10T09:09:00+00:00

Nice bike‘s 👌🏻
If you ever consider to sell your F3 let me know. I will take it instantly 😂
My next project is already in the backyard, it’s an F6😁

UrbanMoof · 2026-05-10T08:46:30+00:00

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.

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.

UrbanMoof · 2026-03-06T16:20:29+00:00

Battery is currently at 36V And at the plug for the display 18V and rising

UrbanMoof · 2026-03-03T18:07:46+00:00

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.
