How to change the language of the VanMoof app
The VanMoof app has no language menu; it follows the language of your phone. The bike itself shows no text, only numbers and icons.
Step by step
- iPhone: Settings > 'VanMoof' > 'Language' and choose the language (iOS 13 and up allow per-app language).
- Android: Settings > 'Apps' > 'VanMoof' > 'Language' (Android 13+) or change the system language under Settings > 'System' > 'Languages'.
- Force-close and reopen the VanMoof app.
- If the app stays in the old language, it does not include your language and falls back to English; supported languages are English, Dutch, German and French.
Tip: The matrix display (S3/X3) and Halo Ring (S5/A5) show only speed, battery and icons; there is nothing to translate on the bike.
Can't find it?
There is no language setting inside the app. If you want English while your phone is in another language, use the per-app language option in iOS / Android.
Frequently asked
Can I set the app to Spanish or Italian?

Still stuck? Take a photo of the display and show it to a local e-bike workshop. Bring the bike's system name (e.g. Bosch Performance Line CX) and the exact code; that saves diagnostic time and money.
