Almost got it right but poor range
I've been watching VanMoof bikes for years. They have loads of potential and for the first time, with the S6, I felt they had almost got it right so I took the considerable gamble, considering how things went down for them previously.
There still isn't a service centre in my city so that is a concern - even though I can fix bicycles, the bespoke design doesn't make it as easy.
The bike rides really nicely, and although I would prefer a belt drive - which is what I had been holding out for for years - the chain arrangement is fairly quiet and smooth.
The battery range is terrible - I've only done 15 miles in the last two days and the charge has dropped from 95% to 47%. That is with the highest level of assist - but assist is the reason I purchased an e-bike.
I also had problems with the Ride Pro trial, not a problem in and of itself, but customer services were very slow to get back to me, which doesn't bode well.
Overall, I am enjoying the bike but that lack of range is a real concern,
