> I guess at least Van Moof actually sold you the bike and didn't make you rent it. The potential loss for the customers would have been much lower if they had rented the bikes for, say, one month at a time. They might lose some days of paid usage in the worst case (as it now seems to be, they would not have lost anything in that one-month-rent case). But then they could switch to any competitor. I guess sometimes renting is not tightening the vendor lock-in, compared to buying.
