   Love your bike

Our bikes are built to last, but they still appreciate a little maintenance every now and then.

Bike basics

These two simple tips will keep your bike riding happier, for longer.

Pump your tires

You’ll be 15% more energy-efficient by keeping 3,0 Bar (35 Psi) of air pressure in your tires. Recommended tire inflation pressure: 2.5- 5 Bar / 35-70 Psi.

Lubricate your chain

Apply a little lube to your chain every now and then to keep it running smoothly.

Chain guard and cleaning

Clean your bike frame using water and gentle detergent. We do not recommend using pressure washers, as this can damage the internal electronics.

Your S3 or X3 is fitted with an enclosed chainguard to protect it from dirt. In the rare case where dirt goes inside, remove the chainguard and clean the chain by rubbing it with an oily cloth. It also comes with a chain tensioner that is designed to ensure the chain doesn’t need to be tensioned during the first 2 years after purchase.

Screw connections

It’s very important that all bolted connections are secured with the correct torque.

Too much torque can damage the screw, nut or component. Always use the supplied torque spanner to tighten screw joints.

In the certification process, specific components are defined which are allowed to be used on your VanMoof. In other words the certification only applies if your vehicle uses these parts or replacement parts that have been approved for your model.
