VanMoof S3 improved e-shifter PCBA
Completed PCB design Hardware Reverse engineering
The original electronic gear-shift unit of the VanMoof S3 has well-known reliability issues. This project is a fully redesigned PCBA: better component selection, improved thermal dissipation, a more compact layout, and a direct drop-in replacement for the original unit.
- › Reverse engineering of the original PCB
- › Schematic capture in KiCad
- › New component selection (improved MOSFETs, better capacitors)
- › Optimised PCB layout for thermal behaviour
- › Drop-in replacement — no firmware changes required
- › Manufactured and tested as a working prototype
