I don't ride a VanMoof bike but this story is interesting. So, VanMoof incase you didn't hear went into administration and with that comes the fear for users that their bike will be forever locked out due to it requiring an app for a lot of its functionality, if VanMoof shuts down, so does the app, rendering the bikes useless.

The reason given was the cycling movement with one employee saying "This is about keeping bikes on the road, which is our No.1 mission as a company, regardless if it’s a competitor or not,"
