VanMoof X3 e-bike review: Transportation revelation - Taylor Hatmaker
After a few months of testing, I can report that the X3 rides as smooth and seamless as it did out of the box. Every once in a while I’d crunch down on the pedal or gear won’t catch right away but it’s super rare. You can even use the app to customize when the bike shifts up and down and it’s worth playing around with that to find something that feels just right.
