#2Note that a competitor to VanMoof, Cowboy Bikes, have also created an iOS app - with a beta on the App Store - that supposedly does the same (saving the encryption keys locally).
I say supposedly because the source is not available to inspect. However, the linked FAQ states that no data is stored outside the app.
Here it is: https://bikey-app.cowboy.bike/
(Note this is not en endorsement for Cowboy - whom I know nothing about - just pointing to the currently only iOS app I know of to save these same encryption keys for VanMoof owners).

#3Don’t buy products made by VC funded firms! Especially not if it’s a real product and you value repairability and service. VanMoof made losses the size of their revenue. They made bikes… where’s the natural monopoly to be chased there?

#4I'm just now hearing about VanMoof failing. This is surprising, considering these bikes seem to have pretty meh build quality and are being priced much higher than one would expect.

#6A cursory look at the code and this seems legit, nothing that would steal my login credentials. It's a small codebase.
I'm curious how long the hardcoded api key here will work, though: https://github.com/grossartig/vanmoof-encryption-key-exporte...

#7if you're going to make a tool that does what this does, you gotta call it Vanmoof Diver

#8Honest question: what’s the appeal of a bike that needs an internet connection & app to unlock?

I've got an X3 that is rock solid even after me and the bike flying apart in an attempt to avoid collision with a truck. And its design is the primary reason why I decided to start biking again to begin with - I just find it so pleasantly satisfying I just want to ride it. So IDK, but I haven't seen a viable alternative yet.

If it’s stolen they will either recover it or replace it. And everyone knows this, so no one will buy a stolen one and they are less likely to be stolen.
