VanMoof repair warranty
Clear warranty information for second-hand VanMoof bikes, refurbished bikes, spare parts and paid repairs.
This page explains the VanMoof repair warranty at Vanmoofista, including warranty terms for repairs, reused parts, refurbished bikes and diagnostics.
Legal guarantee for second-hand bikes
- For second-hand bikes, the legal guarantee is 2 years from delivery.
- Belgian law allows us and the customer to agree to shorten this to 1 year for second-hand goods, but never less than 1 year.
- If a 1-year period is agreed, this is clearly written on the invoice and confirmed in writing.
- If no 1-year period is clearly and unambiguously agreed in writing, the default is 2 years.
Example pricing
- Standard price with 2-year legal guarantee
- Discounted price with 1-year legal guarantee, explicitly agreed
What the legal guarantee means
- If a lack of conformity appears within the applicable legal guarantee period, it is presumed to have existed at delivery, unless we prove otherwise.
- You are entitled to free repair or replacement.
- If repair or replacement is impossible or disproportionate, you can request a price reduction or refund.
Deadlines
Please inform us as soon as possible and within 2 months after discovering the lack of conformity.
Any legal action must generally be brought within 1 year from the day you noticed the lack of conformity.
Exclusions
Not covered by warranty unless clearly defective at delivery:
- Normal wear-and-tear items: brake pads, tires, chain, grips, cosmetic scratches
- Damage caused by misuse, neglect, accidents, or pressure-washing
- Defects resulting from tuning or modification
Repair warranty
We provide a 6-month repair warranty on all paid repairs performed by our workshop. This covers workmanship and parts we install for that repair under normal use.
| Work type | Warranty | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Replacement parts | Covered against failure of the installed part | Does not cover unrelated VanMoof faults |
| Repaired electronics | Covered for the repaired fault | Does not cover water damage, corrosion, or other failing components |
| Second-hand parts | Tested before installation | Warranty depends on part type and condition |
| Diagnosis only | No repair warranty | Diagnostic fee applies if the bike is not repaired |
- If a repair is performed as a legal-guarantee remedy for a product we sold you, the 2-year legal-guarantee period is suspended during the repair and then resumes.
- Parts fitted during such a legal-guarantee repair are covered for the remaining legal-guarantee period.
- If you purchase new spare parts separately, those parts benefit from the 2-year legal guarantee for consumer goods.
Transport
Transport is covered when required by law. In other cases, pickup, delivery or shipping costs are agreed separately before the repair or return.
