VanMoof’s new S6 e-bikes fix everything but trust

Vanmuw, the sticker child BikeggedonI just launched the first electronic bikes that were developed under New leadership After selling bankruptcy for 2023 to McLaren. Bikes were supposed to be detected tomorrow, but a link to Early access program It led to the leakage of details early.

The new S6 series – which you installed shortly a few hours ago – make the first excellent impression. The real trick will be convincing cyclists by paying 3,298 euros due to the longevity promise. For this reason, the company covers the S6 and S6 Open with three extended years a guarantee While trying to restore the confidence that the founders participating in the company were wasted.

I spent only 15 minutes in the S6 riding before production, but it actually treats almost every problem with Vanmof bikes. It turns smoothly and intuitively without any audible to cut; Light tapes that show battery levels and bright energy levels and easy to understand; Tricks and sounds (including starting and movement alerts) have been reduced to be less embarrassing and annoying. In general, it is a very fun and comfortable journey.

Outside, the new S6 series looks almost identical to the current S5 and A5 models, which were first announced in 2022 and re -released in 2024 by the new company. But what is inside it is important, especially when it comes to the ability to serve in the long run. This includes the new standard wires to make each designing component easier to serve, all of which benefit from engineering, analysis and control of McLaren.

“We have looked at every element of our formation and made improvements,” says New Eleiot Vertimer. “This moves from security, reliability and communication, but also, the most prominent of which is the comprehensive passenger experience. The moment you get a S6 series bike, you will immediately notice the difference: the entire ride is smoother, more responsive and more responsive than anything we previously released. With improved reliability and service ability, this makes our S6 series final.”

Electronic bikes S6 see a favorite Vanmowov like the reinforcement button, an integrated kick lock, and the front and rear lighting integrated into the iconic frame. I can’t comment on reinforcement improvements yet since the power delivery from the 250W engine was still seized on my test bike, but the kick lock contains a larger sweet spot, making it easy to engage in the rear wheel.

The new S6 is a three -speed “very reliable” automatic center that replaces the three -speed electronic shutter that was found in the S5 and S3 series of Vanmoofs. The axis is used to automatically convert the gears while increasing the speed of rotation. This makes automatic mechanical transformation 100 percent just like Vanamoof electronic bicycles from 2019 There are no required problem electronics.

Changing the gear on the S6 was soft, accurate and intuitive in limited tests, regardless of how difficult it is to forge the pedals. I will carry a final judgment on a shift for my next review later this summer, but it seems certain that the new Vanmoof has found a transition that begins to compete with his ilk. Enviolo. Unfortunately, there is still an option to drive the belt.

The S6 series also features a new designer from Slimlink Phone Mount With peak design. It is included in the box with every purchase, but it can be left outside the final assembly because everyone does not want to buy a compatible condition. Optionally, you can add Seatpost hanging with a 30 mm travel travel to help sweep the raw city terrain. This comfortable Seatpost is also compatible with Vanmoof S5 and A5 models.

The anti-theft Vanmoof system also returns with more granules to help hunt the company’s hunting in the company-they recover the stolen electronic bike within 14 days or replace it for free. A full year of service is included in the S6 series purchase price. Next, you can pay, or rely on the Apple Integrated Fain and secure your bike.

Like Vanmoofs Old, the battery is still integrated with the frame. A specially designed Panasonic battery (and a little larger) of the Panasonic can be removed for the service, but otherwise, it should remain in the bike, as it can be charged from 0 to 100 percent by 48 volt / 2A charger. The tallest S6 is equipped with 27.5 -inch wheels and weighs 23.5 kg (51.8 lbs), while the S6 was designed 22.5 kg (49.6 lbs) with 24 -inch wheels to suit the smaller cycles. Either way, this is a lot of practical weight to carry the stairs up and down to charge.

Vanmoof calls the “most reliable, intuitive and enjoyable S6 series so far.” I can believe in two feeling of three points, but reliability is something that requires time to prove it.

The company is currently partnership with some 250 bicycle stores for service (And 130 sales partners) in a network that covers 13 countries and has continued to expand since its launch in 2024. It will be wise to verify the availability of local service before buying Vanmuwov or any electronic bike directly for the consumer, for this issue. The service is inevitable, the ease of variables, and Vanmoof 2.0 appears to take the correct steps to reduce unexpected trips to the bicycle store.

Vanmoof S6 and S6 Open are now available with a deposit of 150 euros. Some of the Vanmoof partner bikes will get S6 bikes available for horse riding before delivery operations start to push customers in August. The S6 series is available in the colors of “Electric Blue”, Black and “Pearl Mint” (Personal Favorite) at the launch in the Netherlands, Germany, France and Belgium-the largest e-bike market in Europe-with the start of UK sales “later this year.” Once you control European Vanmoof operations, you will look forward to expanding elsewhere, including a return to the United States.
