They wanted to be like Apple and have a closed, proprietary system, but seemed to forget that when you do that, you’ve also got to charge Apple prices to cover all those kind of costs.
Only they did charge Apple prices. Their latest model cost about €3500, which (for Dutch standards at least) is insane for an electric city bike.
It’s insane for a shitty vanmoof. My Batavus e-bike was around that price but it’s a much nicer bike than any vanmoof.
