Offroad Mode on VanMoof: A Step-by-Step Guide
Understand speed options for your VanMoof
Important Reminder
As confirmed by VanMoof (02.05.24), modifying the region settings using a third-party app could void your warranty. Operating an e-Bike at speeds exceeding 25km/h on public streets in Europe is illegal and can result in fines or other legal consequences.
This speed limit is in place to ensure the safety of both the rider and those sharing the road. We strongly advise against attempting to use the offroad mode or any other modifications that may enable your VanMoof to exceed this speed limit on public roads. Ride responsibly and within the limits set by the law.
