Essentially this is the equivalent of losing the remote control to a modern-day TV and getting locked out of 90% of the device’s features.įortunately, as and others are (urgently) pointing out to VanMoof e-bike owners, this special key can be downloaded with a Key Exporter project on GitHub, as well as obtained and used with an alternative app by Cowboy Bikes, which is a competitor of VanMoof. Without this key that is connected to your VanMoof account, your VanMoof app cannot communicate with your VanMoof e-bike.Īlthough basic functionality of the e-bike will be retained, features such as setting the gear modes, changing assistance mode, locking the bicycle and other features not exposed on the bicycle itself will be lost.
