On the S5 and A5, Moofie switches between the speed profiles built into the bike: the European 25 km/h profile and the US 32 km/h profile.
Is riding at 32 km/h legal?
It depends on where you ride.
- EU and UK: e-bikes may only assist up to 25 km/h on public roads. A bike that assists faster counts as a speed pedelec, which usually needs registration, insurance and a helmet.
- Netherlands: a speed pedelec needs a moped licence plate, insurance, an AM driving licence and a helmet.
- Germany: above 25 km/h a bike is an S-Pedelec, which needs type approval, an insurance plate, an AM licence and a helmet.
- United States: many states allow Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes to assist up to 20 mph (32 km/h).
Private land and closed tracks are a different story. Check your local rules, and remember that riding faster can affect your insurance and warranty.
FAQ
Does 32 km/h use more battery?
Yes. Riding faster takes more energy, so expect less range at 32 km/h than at 25 km/h.
Can I switch back to 25 km/h?
Any time. Tap 25 km/h under Top Speed and the change applies right away.
Why can't my VanMoof S6 go 32 km/h?
The S6 and S6 Open follow the speed limit of the region they were sold in. Moofie doesn't offer a speed switch for these models.
Does changing the speed affect my warranty?
Changing speed settings with a third-party app may affect your warranty or insurance. Check with VanMoof and your insurer if you're unsure.
