VanMoof S3 Review: No Sweat!

[nikmiddelman]

I was one of the first to get the Van Moof 1 in the Netherlands. and now getting the S3 soon. I'm still running the van Moof 1 today after around 6/7 years. these are real quality and an perfect balance between quality and price

Some of the downsides are mandated by Dutch law.
If you would be able to engage the accelerator without pedalling this would be classified as a motorbike instead of a bicycle in the Netherlands.The same goes for the top speed of the bike. A motorbike requires the rider to have a driving license and in some cases ban the vehicle form cycling lanes.
Sure these restrictions could be modified in software for the US market but I bet at that point you'd want more out of the motor and battery.

This e-bike is just a gem. I love this design! <3

I've been watching Vanmoof reviews a lot as I prep to eventually buy one in a few months and I must say this is one of the best reviews of the S3 on youtube thus far!

I love how am watching the video hear a word that I've never heard before and search it up the architecture of your vocabulary is amazing 👏

The Halo 3 shield recharge sound fx reference earned the thumbs up from me.

*Gotta appreciate the VANMOOF bikes as All other brands are basically Walmart/generic bikes with a common kit slapped on them. Actually engineering and design here!!*

[Capadega]

I have the gen 1 Vanmoof and I have 4K miles on it! It's been the best bicycle I've ever owned.

Living in Belgium having ridden a bike my entire life some things you point out seem so obvious like riding without hands hahah. I guess in america most people use cars here everyone legit has 1-3 bikes

[evangelosspyromilios]

i used to have a non electric bike and from all the bikes i have seen it looks so much better, no fake sport design / colours, no stickers.
I love it, hope they will ship to Greece soon.

Ordered my S3 in June. Getting it in Sept. I'm super excited about it.

Another unexpected but very welcome Sam sheffer video 👌🏼

[anttesoriero]

For anyone wondering about speed, the reason you can’t get it to go faster is due to bike speed laws. They’re not allowed to ship electric bikes that go over a certain speed.

just for future reviews, the 'diagonal pole' = the downtube

sorry if someone else already commented this

[MichelPostma]

It's cool to see you ride a VanMoof. They are decently common here in Amsterdam and look very good.
Only drawbacks are law-restricted designs, like the boost not working whilst paddling or boosting much above 20 mph.
I personally would love this, but since I already get to almost 20 mph on a regular bike and cant go much faster with this, it's not really worth it for me.

Cool review though Sam, thanks for the vid

3:15 that‘s a weird argument. Your words highlight exactly why this is a problem (take a turn and the light won’t shine where you’re driving but where you aren’t) but you describe it as a plus.

eBikes are the best! I've been riding both a Stromer ST2 and Riese & Müeller Load for years. By far the best transportation investments I have ever made. Cars are such a pain in the ass and look dumb in comparison. Getting around a city on eBike is THE BEST way to get around especially when you have a cargo eBike for groceries, kids, etc.

I took a test ride in London last week. It took ten minutes to fall in love with it. Mine is now on order. I can't wait.

This is a really fantastic review!! Thanks so much for making exactly what I was looking for!!
