Ryan, I keep dickering abt an ebike (astill riding my 50-year-old college bike). It has its dents, but it fits me. It's internally geared, fine here in FL. What ebike might you recommend? Wuld like to have lightweight, perhaps even foldable. I'm 5 ft 6 in female.

great piece - I had the same issue with the parts and getting the thing fixed was a tremendous hassle - at one point I packed the thing up and shipped it across the country to get fixed: lights and electrical parts kept breaking - the bike is was neat but if you need to rely on it it’s tough - hard to go to that type of service after having a trusty bike mechanic down the street that can fix things promptly

Too bad -- then again, I suspect it's better that VanMoof go under than something like RadPower, which expanded (too?) quickly a few years ago.

Interesting take! Any idea who a viable buyer would be for a company as unique as VanMoof?
