    But it looks cool and that’s totally worth buying into a proprietary ecosystem and getting something incompatible with 99% of bike parts.

      Yup, that went well for Van Moof owners in the Netherlands. Also hipster bikes, the latest model turned out to be of dubious quality and was built using all custom parts. They had fun times getting their ridiculously overpriced bikes repaired after the company went belly up.

        The whole van moof thing was absolutely hilarious tbh (if you didn’t buy one, I mean).

        I hope Netherlands will litigate good Right to Repair into existance. Netherlands is part of EU, so I belive in you.
