Vanmoof publishes repair guides and resumes making spare parts
Introduction
The Dutch e-bike brand Vanmoof recently launched a significant initiative that is likely to please both e-bike enthusiasts and existing customers. By publishing repair guides and resuming production of spare parts for older models, Vanmoof is showing its commitment to improving customer service and extending the useful life of its products. This development is a clear sign of support from McLaren Applied, the new management, which is paving the way for greater transparency and sustainability in the industry. Thanks to Vanmoof’s comprehensive repair guides, users can now carry out maintenance themselves and experience the benefits of the improved Vanmoof spare parts directly.
Vanmoof: an overview
History and development
Vanmoof was founded in 2009 and quickly developed into a brand known not only for its innovative design but also for its advanced technology. With successful models such as the S2 and X2, which have been changing urban mobility since 2018, Vanmoof has set new standards. Its acquisition by McLaren Applied following insolvency at the end of 2023 marked a new direction focused on both product care and expanding its service offering.
Challenges and solutions
After the insolvency, Vanmoof faced significant challenges, as many e-bike owners around the world had difficulty accessing repair services and spare parts. The new management responded quickly by creating an extensive online archive containing detailed repair guides and technical drawings. The newly introduced Vanmoof repair guides enable customers to fix problems themselves, extending the life of their bikes while also encouraging sustainable use.

Availability and contents
Vanmoof’s newly established online archive offers detailed step-by-step instructions, technical drawings and repair manuals for older models such as the S2 and X2. This documentation helps users better understand how their bikes work and carry out repairs safely themselves. More guides for other model series will be added soon, expanding the range of Vanmoof repair guides.
Purpose and benefits
The purpose of this archive is to help Vanmoof bike owners maintain and repair their bikes themselves. By making the information available in several languages, Vanmoof is improving transparency and accessibility over the long term. The expanded guides encourage users to engage more closely with the technology and help customers benefit from Vanmoof spare parts in the long term.
Spare parts production
Resuming production
Alongside the detailed repair guides, Vanmoof has also resumed production of spare parts for older models. These Vanmoof spare parts are sold at cost and enable customers to keep their bikes in optimal condition. Previously, these parts were only available to certified workshops, but they are now also available directly to end customers, making access to quality service much easier.
Replacing Vanmoof bike parts
The new, clearly structured guides in the online archive help users replace bike parts. They contain precise instructions for removing and installing components, along with exact product names. This means owners can replace Vanmoof spare parts without difficulty and extend the life of their bikes without outside help.
Supporting the service network
To ensure a smooth process for replacements and repairs, Vanmoof is working hard to build a network of workshops and dealers. These partners receive comprehensive training and are equipped with the necessary tools and spare parts. Currently, 21 workshops in the Netherlands and Germany, including locations in Amsterdam, Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Düsseldorf, are part of this advanced service network.
