How do I generate a new validation code?

Selling your bike or changing ownership? Follow these steps to generate a new validation code. If you only need to change an email address, find instructions here.

Generate a new code (2 minutes)

  1. In the VanMoof App, go to the Settings tab. Navigate to the bike you’d like to change ownership of and scroll down to click on the 'Advanced' settings. 
  2. Scroll down and click 'Remove bike from account'. This will show a pop-up to confirm that you want to delete ownership.
  3. Verify with your account password to show you are the owner and confirm in the next step. 
  4. Take note of the email address shown in the last step and search for the VanMoof email with the new validation code in that email inbox.
  5. Share this code with the new owner so that they can register the bike to their own My VanMoof account.

Steps in the VanMoof App:

Remove ownership in the Settings.  Confirm in the second step. Fill in your password to confirm that you are the owner.  Confirm that you want to remove ownership. The validation code is now in your e-mail inbox.
