That's just because the physical shop closed in the course of the bankruptcy proceedings, not because the bicycles were repossessed. If VanMoof does go tits-up, these bicycles will still belong to their owners. It sucks not to be able to get at them right now, but that will sort itself out.
- fatfingerd 3y ago> that will sort itself out The court assigns an administrator who, if effective, will work with what there is.. The bikes many people get back may be worthless as many parts were apparently custom so there are no other shops to complete the unfinished repairs.
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoI read they closed the shop for the safety of the employees, because they had angry customers demanding their bike / money back.
- WeylandYutani 3y agoAs I understand it only official van Moof dealerships have the tools and parts to fix these bikes so even if they get them back they're screwed.
- mcv 3y agoThose parts should probably be open sourced or something. But even then, someone has to make them. I doubt 3D printing will be strong enough.
