Alternative app that can unlock VanMoof bikes more popular amid bankruptcy fears

NL Times  

A new app to unlock bicycles produced by the financially troubled Amsterdam firm, VanMoof, has reached the top tier of most popular iPhone apps in the Netherlands within a day. VanMoof's Belgian competitor, Cowboy, launched an app called Bikey for iOS on Thursday, and less than a day later it was one of the top three free apps in the Dutch market. Once it became public knowledge that VanMoof needed protection from its creditors, the company's e-bike owners grew more concerned about whether the VanMoof app will still work. Cowboy, which also makes electric bicycles with many technological features, launched Bikey in which the digital key for VanMoof bicycles can be stored.
