There's no DRM. That seems to be a recurring misconception here. It wasn't open-source or anything, but there were already third-party apps for the bike. It's more a matter of the parts that were proprietary (motor, battery, electric clutch) becoming hard to replace once they fail. (As mentioned above, though, you'll need to download your bike's details while VanMoof is still alive in order to be able to connect third party apps to it.)
