Mudguards (or fenders, if you prefer) have also produced problems for other e-bike manufacturers. VanMoof experienced a similar problem in 2020, affecting over 1,600 of its S3 and X3 e-bikes due to loose fender bolts. However, rather than road debris becoming stuck between the tyre and mudguard, a few of VanMoof’s mudguards fell away and jammed the wheel after becoming hooked between the tyre and frame.
