VanMoof's optional subscription ( €59/year ) that adds advanced theft tracking, remote monitoring, Halo Ring customisation, and Health App sync to your VanMoof S6 and S6 Open. An independent rider's take: what you get, who it's for, and how it sits next to the Moofment companion app.
Ride Pro is a thoughtful subscription if you own a VanMoof Series 6 in a city with theft risk and value Apple Health sync. It's harder to justify if you keep your bike indoors and don't use Health tracking. The 14-day trial is risk-free either way.

Ride Pro is a wider feature lineup layered on top of the standard VanMoof app. The free app keeps the basics; Ride Pro adds depth.

They don't overlap. Many S6 owners use Ride Pro and Moofment together — Ride Pro for VanMoof's subscription layer (cloud tracking, Halo colours), Moofment for native Bluetooth control and ride dashboard. S5 / A5 / S3 / X3 owners can use Moofment today, with Ride Pro arriving for S5 / A5 later.
Should you get it?
Two honest takes from a rider since 2019:
Yes if…
You own an S6 or S6 Open
You park your bike outside in any city
You already use Apple Health / Health Connect
You want VanMoof's most precise theft tracking
The Halo Ring colour customisation matters to you
Probably not if…
Your bike lives indoors or in a secure garage
You don't track fitness via Health apps
You'd rather buy once than subscribe
You own an S3 / X3 (Ride Pro isn't coming)
Tip: Use the 14-day free trial to test Bike Hunting and the Halo customisation. If both feel essential after 14 days, the €59 is justified. If neither, cancel before day 14.
Ride Pro FAQs
Real answers, drawn from VanMoof's help center plus rider experience.
How can I manage my subscription?
Sign in at my.vanmoof.com and open your subscription page. From there you can change plan, pause, or cancel. VanMoof's help article has a step-by-step walkthrough (linked in Sources below).
What's the difference between the VanMoof app and Ride Pro?
The VanMoof app is free and required — it handles pairing, core controls, basic theft tracking, and firmware. Ride Pro is an optional paid layer on top: advanced theft tracking, remote alerts, Halo Ring colours, Health App sync. You need the standard app to use Ride Pro.
What about Ride Pro for my VanMoof S5 or A5?
VanMoof has indicated on their social channels that S5 and A5 support is coming. No specific date is published. Until then, S5 and A5 owners can use the standard VanMoof app for core features, plus Moofment for native Bluetooth bike control, FOCUS dashboard, and ride tracking.
Can I still get Ride Pro on my VanMoof S3 / X3 or earlier?
No. Ride Pro requires the hardware GPS and modem capabilities in the S6 series. S3 and X3 owners do still get free theft tracking via the standard VanMoof app, and most modern advanced features come through Moofment — the independent companion app that works on every VanMoof from S2 to S6.
What's the difference between Theft Tracking and Theft Proof?
Theft Tracking (included with Ride Pro) is the technology to locate your bike if stolen. Theft Proof is VanMoof's insurance-style coverage that pays out if recovery fails. They serve different purposes and can be combined — or used separately. See VanMoof's help articles in Sources for the latest pricing on each.
Is the 14-day free trial really free?
Yes, but you must add a payment method to start it. Cancel before day 14 and you're not charged. If you forget, the first year automatically begins. Set a calendar reminder for day 12 if you want to evaluate without committing.
Does Ride Pro work outside the EU?
Ride Pro relies on VanMoof's cloud and modem service, which depends on regional coverage. Most European markets are supported. Outside the EU, check VanMoof's help center for the latest country list before subscribing.
Can I use Ride Pro and Moofment at the same time?
Yes, and many S6 owners do. Ride Pro is VanMoof's subscription layer (cloud-side tracking, Halo colours, Health sync). Moofment is the rider-built companion app that adds native Bluetooth bike control, the FOCUS dashboard, range intelligence, CityGuard, and a global rider community. They don't overlap.
