Yup, that went well for Van Moof owners in the Netherlands. Also hipster bikes, the latest model turned out to be of dubious quality and was built using all custom parts. They had fun times getting their rediciously overpriced bikes repaired after the company went belly up.
It’s so shit. There is a kickstarter of an ebike like that and it’s worse than you van ever imagine. It’s LOUD as fuck and worse in every way than a normal bike.
That’s because it’s not a bike. It’s a sales pitch to silicon valley. Like most tech startups, they want some rich VC dipshit or big tech company to throw millions of dollars at them.

I hope Netherlands will litigate good Right to Repair into existance. Netherlands is part of EU, so I belive in you.
The whole van moof thing was absolutely hilarious tbh (if you didn’t buy one, I mean).

Yeah but looks cool! /s
I mean it does look cool.
Next time I have a bunch of extra cash to throw at a decorative art piece I’ll consider it
Is it high-bitched electric buzz? If so, then it’s probably BLDC controller. Normal people use PMSM - more efficient and quieter.
