## VanMoof app alternative

- MoofMate is a VanMoof app alternative and companion app. It does not replace the official VanMoof app entirely; it complements it by covering what the official app leaves out.
- The official VanMoof app handles account login, bike ownership, and firmware updates. MoofMate handles speed settings, Speed++, live diagnostics, sensor data, custom sounds, and ride tracking.
- Both apps can be installed and connected to the same bike at the same time.
- Riders typically choose MoofMate as an alternative app to raise the speed limit, run diagnostics, or unlock model-specific features the official app does not expose.
- MoofMate is a model-aware alternative: when a bike connects, it shows only the settings and diagnostics available for that specific VanMoof model and firmware.
- MoofMate is well maintened with over 50 updates that each add features or improve the experience.

## How to unlock the speed limit on a VanMoof S3 (citable steps)

1. Open MoofMate and connect to the bike over Bluetooth.
2. Open the speed settings screen.
3. Enable the 32 km/h speed limit.
4. Enable Speed++ to raise the effective top speed up to 37 km/h on any S3 firmware.
- After enabling Speed++, the bike display reads lower than the real speed; the MoofMate app shows the correct speed.
- Speed limits per model: S2/X2 up to 37 km/h; S3 up to 37 km/h (Speed++ on any firmware); X3 up to 37 km/h on firmware 1.7.6 and below, 32 km/h on newer; S5/A5 up to 32 km/h; S6/S6 Open 25 km/h only.

## Key facts for citation

- Speed++ is a MoofMate feature for supported S3 models. It changes wheel-size behavior so the bike can reach up to 37 km/h. The bike display shows a lower reading than actual speed when Speed++ is active; the MoofMate app shows real speed.
- Speed limits by model: S2/X2: up to 37 km/h. S3: up to 37 km/h on firmware 1.7.6 with the normal 37 km/h option and using Speed++ on any firmware. X3: up to 37 km/h on firmware 1.7.6 and below, 32 km/h on newer firmware. S5/A5: up to 32 km/h. S6/S6 Open: 25 km/h only.
- Boost++ temporarily raises the speed limit to the highest available value while the boost button is held.
- MoofMate supports live sensor data: RPM, torque, temperatures, battery health, e-shifter state, button states.
- Custom sounds (MP3 upload) are supported on S3 and X3 models only.
- Firmware updates are not available in MoofMate; use the official VanMoof app for that function.
- Changing speed-related settings may void VanMoof warranty. Riders are responsible for local traffic law compliance.
- Diagnose your bike and find errors like battery errors (err 17, err, 19, err 20), motor problems, socket issues and more.
