Sounds & Halo Ring behaviour

Is your VanMoof S5 or S6 making a weird sound or showing unexpected red lights on the halo ring?

Your bike uses sounds and the halo ring (the LED light circle around the display) to communicate its status and alert you to potential issues. While some beeps and light patterns are normal operation signals, others may indicate an error that needs attention.

This article explains what different sounds mean, what the various halo ring colors and patterns indicate (including those red lights), and how to interpret your bike's behavior. Understanding these signals will help you quickly identify whether your S5 or S6 is functioning normally or if there's an issue that requires troubleshooting.
