Maintenance for your VanMoof

VanMoof bikes are known for their innovative design and smart technology. However, even a VanMoof needs regular maintenance to maintain optimal performance. Whether you ride daily or primarily on weekends, proper maintenance ensures safety, comfort, and a longer lifespan for your e-bike. In this article, we share five practical maintenance tips that every VanMoof rider can implement.

Why regular maintenance is important for your VanMoof

A VanMoof e-bike is made for everyday use and designed with precision. However, weather, dirt, and wear and tear can impact its performance. Regular maintenance not only prevents breakdowns but also keeps components like the brakes, chain, and motor running smoothly. By taking good care of your bike, you extend its lifespan and maintain that signature VanMoof riding experience.

The five most important maintenance tips for every VanMoof rider

1. Lubricate the chain: Use chain lubricant and a rag every two to three months to keep the chain smooth. Turn the bike upside down, lubricate through the plastic cover, and turn the pedals backward a few times.

2. Adjust the handlebars: Adjust the height of your handlebars for comfort and control. Use up to two spacers to find the right position without putting stress on the wiring.

3. Saddle height: Adjust your saddle to hip height for powerful and comfortable pedaling. Use a Torx 30 wrench from your VanMoof toolbox.

4. Check the wheels: Check monthly that the wheels are properly secured with the anti-theft key and lug wrench. This prevents accidents.

5. Perform a reset: In case of error codes or malfunctions, a reset often helps. For S3 & X3, press and hold the button under the top tube for eight seconds.

These simple steps will keep your VanMoof running smoothly, safely and reliably.
