⪮ There was a lot of speculation and fear on social media, because of covid19 and the supply chain etc. delays. It has been a long and bumpy road but I’m glad that it’s here and real.

🗓️ The order was completed on the 5th of April and the planned delivery date was sometime in July 2022. It didn’t happen but a month later, in August VanMoof launched test rides in selected brand stores. I visited the stores in Amsterdam and was test-riding the S5 and A5. Compared to the test bikes, I can confirm that this S5 looks and feels better. For instance, back then I didn’t really like the touch and feel of the new buttons but the S5 which I received has a higher quality pairs of buttons installed.
📦 The new package material is great, it keeps all parts firm and the inner surface protects the body and paint. Like previous models, there is an assembly kit, a toolbox, reflectors, an air pump, a power adapter, and user manuals (but no party horn, bell sound is also not there anymore).
