Own a VanMoof? You need to act NOW and backup your bike's key.

The folks at Cowboy just published "Bikey” and it makes this really easy.

They were kind enough to send me a preview build yesterday and it works great!

If VanMoof’s servers go offline, it’ll be impossible to retrieve this key and you’ll lose access to your bike forever.

It’s really awesome to see Cowboy step in so quickly and help keep these bikes on the road!

They've stressed it's a beta, but it worked great on my Moof.

@phill it's ridiculous that we even need this.

Whoever thought this was a good idea...

@jan completely agree. Obviously there needed be some sort of encryption for the lock to work, but the key could have been made user exportable in the app or something.

@phill @jan and this is exactly why I want physical keys all the time, this shit shouldn't happen period
