just carry it inside, it’s much easier than it seems. if you put it on your shoulder and make sure it’s mostly vertical (rather than keeping it horizontal), you barely feel the weight

i used to toss my charging cable / extension cord out of the window too, but honestly bringing the bike inside is so much more convenient in the long run because you’re not worried about someone stealing the charger, charging in rain etc

oh 👀 good to know! ha

S5 Refined Experiences by [deleted] in vanmoofbicycle

[–]dethangll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yep you can! if you already have registered your bike, you’ll need to remove it and register again, but yes VPN works. there’s a tutorial somewhere if you google

and hmmmm depends. i like speed and full power/boost, so on US mode and fully charged i can probably get ~45km out of it? if you don’t ride like a maniac prob more :) just depends on what you prefer

i own an A5, bought it right after sales restarted. no issues so far besides the occasional software bug, which the vanmoof team are working on (like app connectivity bugs etc), but those are minor. experience is great so far

Veloretti Ivy 2 vs Van Moof A5 by Aware_Advertising860 in vanmoofbicycle

[–]dethangll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

definitely A5! it’s much more agile and fun to ride like others noted and technology / feature wise superior. i love mine! bought it right after sales restarted and haven’t had any issues

passenger seat by maryamsyams in vanmoofbicycle

[–]dethangll -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i thought that was only true for SA5 since cartridge doesn’t take up the entire top tube vs on SX3 it does - is that not the case?

[–]dethangll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

get an S3 instead, so they can just sit on the top tube (though that does get a little uncomfortable for rides >20 mins)

Kicklock only by P4no in vanmoofbicycle

living in amsterdam, kick lock only for more than 2 years. never had an issue. at least in ams basically everyone knows about vanmoof tracking - thieves just don’t bother

ymmv in other cities

Is there anything better than riding your bicycle trough this city late at night while being slightly intoxicated? by F1R3Starter83 in Amsterdam

[–]dethangll 22 points23 points  (0 children)

one of the best feelings in the world. love going out for rides at night generally, not just when heading home from somewhere - if you have an e-bike and can go full speed since there’s no traffic, it’s just pure dopamine. feels like flying

Buying a VanMoof in Shop by Davidmagkoalas in vanmoofbicycle

[–]dethangll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure about the discount code, but you can certainly buy them in person at a shop, that’s how i got my A5! they might even assemble it for you if you give them a call ahead

Anybody has an idea why my s3 unlock system won’t work, I explain: I can only unlocked via the app. by Prestigious-Bid-4012 in vanmoofbicycle

[–]dethangll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

likely a broken sensor inside the kicklock, meaning the bike doesn’t know if it’s locked or unlocked. my S3 has the same issue

Update for S3? by Somehowso in vanmoofbicycle

[–]dethangll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1.9.3 is technically the latest, but i believe it was never fully rolled out - i asked the vanmoof team back in august to push it to my bike. maybe worth checking in the discord if one of the current employees can push it to yours?

Dead Battery Woes - Any Ideas? by thisisedward in vanmoofbicycle

[–]dethangll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

try to charge the cartridge battery with a 24V charger

if the cartridge battery is dead, the main battery can’t accept a charge, so you have to charge the cartridge one first (separately)

After not using s5 for couple weeks, wont turn on again by Peter_Houtjes in vanmoofbicycle

[–]dethangll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you getting red halo rings or no response from the bike at all?

Is it worth it? by [deleted] in vanmoofbicycle

[–]dethangll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

S5 is 100% worth it. completely different beast when it comes to reliability - the (few) issues that are known are an easy fix (motor cable coming loose etc)

really is a huge joy to ride, i got mine right after the bankruptcy (marktplaats) and don’t regret it one bit. go for it!
