1000km Review Vanmoof S6 Electric Blue

  • Battery & Range-1 pts

    when fully charged, I can get about two commutes out of the battery—around 45 km plus a bit more, so nothing more than that.

  • Motor, Assist & Gears+1 pts

    Boost button is nice for quick acceleration at traffic lights, that little push above 25 km/h is great.

  • Security, App & Display0 pts

    Bluetooth connectivity is my biggest annoyance. Sometimes the bike shows a connection from far away, but when I get closer the halo lights disappear and I have to toggle Bluetooth on my phone.

    The reviewer sees the VanMoof S6 as a necessary refinement rather than a radical reinvention, fixing many past mistakes while keeping the brand's iconic design. Pros include a gorgeous, seamless frame, excellent anti-theft features (kick lock and siren), a powerful and intuitive boost button with 68 Nm of torque, and improved GPS tracking. Cons are the heavy 23.5 kg weight, a permanently sealed battery, ongoing repair difficulties due to proprietary parts, and minor issues like chain guard rubs and occasional kick lock misfires. The reviewer ultimately recommends it as a good evolution, but acknowledges owners must accept the specialist repair and service headaches.

    This is much better than the proprietary phone mount they were using on the S5.

Anyone Else Waiting Forever For Vanmoof Support

  • Value & Support-1 pts

    I’ve been waiting for three weeks and sent three follow-up emails just to get a simple change made to my delivery and billing address — and still haven’t heard back from VanMoof support.
