OUR PICKS

Things VanMoof riders
actually need.

No dropshipped junk, no SEO slop. Just the bikes, gear, paint codes, and partner deals I reach for as an actual VanMoof owner since 2019.

Heads up — affiliate links ahead. Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you buy through them, VanMoofer earns a small commission at no extra cost to you. It's how this site stays independent, ad-light, and free of tracking. Read more about how it works.
THE MAIN EVENT

VanMoof bikes

Two flagship models, one honest take. The Series 6 is the newest and easiest to recommend. The Series 5 / A5 is still a great ride — but sold out through VanMoof's direct channel.

VanMoof S6 and S6 Open
Current flagship

VanMoof S6 & S6 Open

The newest VanMoof, the cleanest design, and arguably the most reliable one they've ever shipped. Mechanical 3-gear hub, refined motor, included Peak Design phone mount, and a 3-year warranty from the new VanMoof team. The S6 Open adds a lower step-through frame for easier mounting. Now available in the EU and UK. If you're buying a VanMoof in 2026, this is the one.

VanMoof A5
Previous gen · Sold out

VanMoof S5 / A5

The last-generation S5 and step-through A5. Still a great bike if you find one used — electronic shifting, US speed mode in some regions, and the iconic VanMoof silhouette. No longer available new from the VanMoof store, so we can't link it with a clean conscience.

TOUCH-UP GUIDE

VanMoof paint codes

Sh*t happens. Here are the original VanMoof frame paint references, so you can match a touch-up pen or brief your local bike shop for a clean repair.

VanMoof frame colors

VanMoof used a small set of frame colors across generations. The codes below are the ones most riders use when they need to patch a scuff, respray a panel, or brief a shop on a warranty repair.

Always verify the exact code with VanMoof support for your specific serial number before you commit to paint.

Before you touch up

Clean the area with isopropyl alcohol, mask the surrounding panel, and build up paint in thin layers. A touch-up pen is safer than spray for small chips.

For bigger damage, a bike shop with an e-bike spray booth will always look cleaner than a DIY job.

KEEP YOUR HEAD ON

Helmets

If you rode through city traffic once and didn't wear a helmet, you probably never will again. The pick below is a community favourite — Lumos runs a recurring VanMoofer discount on both its EU and international stores.

Staff pick Lumos Ultra e-bike helmet with integrated lights and turn signals
Lumos

E-bike Helmet · Smart lights & signals

Integrated front and rear LEDs, handlebar-remote turn signals, rechargeable. The closest thing to a dedicated urban e-bike helmet. Use code VANMOOFER at checkout.

LOCK IT UP

Locks & tracking

VanMoofs are attractive to thieves. Kick lock plus one of these is the minimum we recommend. Pair any of them with an AirTag and you're doing better than 95% of riders.

SEE & BE SEEN

Lights & reflectors

VanMoof's built-in lighting is fine for being seen but not for actually lighting a dark bike path. If you ride at night, add a high-vis rear and some passive reflectors.

NAVIGATION

Phone mounts & navigation

Keep your phone rattle-free and your navigation readable. SP Connect is the mount we trust on every VanMoof we own.

THE REST OF THE KIT

Accessories & maintenance

Bags, tires, tools, cleaning kits, covers, gloves. The small stuff that quietly makes your VanMoof nicer to live with every day.

All Powers solar station
All Powers

Build Your Own Powerplant

Charge your VanMoof with solar — portable power stations and foldable panels for off-grid riding and power outages.

Moto flat pedals
Moto Bicycles

Moto Flat Pedals

Heavy-duty flat pedals with more grip than stock VanMoof ones. Use code vanmoofer.com for 10% off.

Popular Waterproof bike cover
Outdoor storage

Waterproof Bike Cover

UV-resistant, rain-proof, and sized for e-bikes. A huge difference to how paint and electronics age if your VanMoof lives outside.

Muc-Off

Brake Cleaner

The fix for squeaky VanMoof brakes. Spray onto rotors, let it dry, re-bed the pads. Instant quiet.

Muc-Off

Chain Lube · Wet weather formula

The right lube for wet-weather commuting. Keeps your VanMoof drivetrain quiet through European winters without turning into a sticky mess.

Muc-Off

Cleaning Kit · Complete set

The full wash kit — bike cleaner, brushes, and chain lube in one box. Good for a proper deep clean every few months.

Elvedes brake pads
Elvedes

Brake Pads · S2/X2 & S3/X3

Quality replacement pads for the older-generation VanMoof disc brakes. A clean drop-in fit that brings the stopping power back.

Lezyne mini floor pump
Lezyne

Bike Pump · Mini floor pump

A proper floor-pump feel in a bag-sized package. Gauge, foot peg, and enough volume to actually inflate a 28-inch VanMoof tire.

Topeak PT30 multi-tool
Topeak · PT30

Multi-Tool · 30 functions, hex + Torx

Every hex and Torx size you need for a VanMoof on the road. Small enough to live in a saddle bag, big enough to actually fix things.

Socket with timer
Smart home

Socket w/ Timer

Plug your charger in, set a shutoff time, stop overcharging. Better for battery longevity and peace of mind when charging overnight.

Basil bicycle bag
Basil

Bicycle Bag · Rear rack

Clean, waterproof-lined rear pannier that clips on and off quickly. Fits most VanMoof rear racks without fouling the caliper.

Rider life

Wine Bottle Carrier

Because sometimes the grocery run is just a nice bottle and a bike ride. Compatible with all VanMoof models.

Schwalbe tires 28 inch
Schwalbe

Tires · S2 & S3 (28")

Puncture-resistant Schwalbe tires sized for 28-inch VanMoof S2 and S3 wheels. The tire swap that makes the biggest difference to your commute.

Schwalbe AV19 inner tubes for 28-inch 50-622 wheels
Schwalbe AV19

Inner Tubes · S2 & S3 (28" · 50-622)

Schwalbe AV19 inner tubes — the size rated for 50-622 (28-inch VanMoof S2 and S3 wheels). Schrader valve. Keep a couple of spares in the saddle bag and you'll never regret it.

Winter cycling gloves
Winter kit

Winter Cycling Gloves

Touchscreen-compatible, windproof gloves that keep your hands usable in European winters without killing phone control.

FAQ

Questions about the shop

Answered honestly by an actual rider, not a chatbot. If yours isn't here, email [email protected].

Are these affiliate links? Do you earn money?

Yes. Most product links on this page are affiliate links to Amazon, VanMoof, or a partner brand. If you buy through them, VanMoofer earns a small commission at no extra cost to you. It's how this independent site keeps running without ads or trackers. Every link is marked as an affiliate link.

Do you actually use this stuff?

Yes — or a rider in our community does. I've ridden VanMoofs since 2019 and own multiple bikes. If I wouldn't put a lock, helmet, or light on my own bike, it's not on this page. When something breaks or disappoints, it comes off the list.

Do the discount codes really work?

Yes. All the codes on this page are negotiated directly with the brand or sourced from an active affiliate program. Some are auto-applied through the link, others need to be pasted at checkout — click any code to copy it. If a code ever stops working, let me know and we'll pull it from the page.

Is VanMoofer affiliated with VanMoof?

No. VanMoofer is an independent community platform run by a rider, for riders. No affiliation with VanMoof B.V., Lavoie, Cowboy N.V., Apple Inc., or Strava Inc. The only commercial link is an affiliate arrangement — when you order a bike through the link to vanmoof.com, VanMoofer earns a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Can I suggest a product for the shop?

Please do. If you ride a VanMoof and have found something that genuinely improves life with the bike, email [email protected]. I don't accept paid placements — but I do listen to other riders.
