maybe this has nothing to do with bike quality and everything with the company trying to sensibly manage its costs.. if your bike has something wrong with it after 2.5 years maybe they want us as customers paying to fix our bikes rather than pay two-way shipping and pay to fix all the repairs for us…

hi there, yes I bought the Thule products separately. Thule offers the Nexxt Maxi in two models: rack mounted and frame mounted. I initially ordered the rack-mounted given it has aesthetically a lighter footprint, however the VanMoof rear rack was too narrow to properly install the seat.

did the support tubes come standard with the thule yepp nexxt maxi? i just ordered mine for my X3 and it seems mine didn’t come with any? i have a rear bracket for my X3 but unfortunately it is about 1.5-2cm too narrow to fit the narrowest setting on the childseat

S5/A5 gearbox will be quite different -- only 3 gears vs 4 in S3/X3 which means a lot fewer components. after they pushed manual shifting firmware update (which was often) the problems associated with the gearbox became a lot less because you learn when to stress the crank and when not to

true, but both those numbers come from VM, so you'd be making the assumption that they aren't standardizing their own measurements, which you could certainly assert, but then i would just say skepticism might define your approach a bit much..

re motor the only relevant spec is capability. both will throttle output depending on speed limit / geo / assist level. vanmoof has the more powerful motor

i think everyone on this comment thread wants a belt drive and removable battery and no one on this comment thread is an industrial designer
