Little birdies tell me VanMoof has officially collapsed. They'll be making a statement shortly.

If you own one of their bikes now is the time to grab your encryption keys before their servers go offline.

Edit: Linking to the "Bikey" app which is a lot easier to use: bikey-app.cowboy.bike

Annnd here we go. The Verge is now running the story.

Courts have appointed two administrators to take over VanMoof.

They've run out of money.

@phill nooooo

What's the story for owners? Clearly, repairs are going to get harder with retail stores closing, but will it impact the app/bike?

@voxmatt hard to say right now until the administrators announce their plans.

Best case someone acquires their IP/brand and continues manufacturing parts.

Worst case, the bikes become paperweights very soon.
