I Bought the World’s Hottest High-Tech E-Bike. Then Its Maker Went Bankrupt.

The VanMoof X3 was the proper match. Both my 6-foot-1 husband and my 5-foot-2 self might trip the e-bike comfortably. We reside in Paris, and the X3 had many options to keep off thieves, together with an built-in wheel lock, a motion-based alarm and placement monitoring through Apple’s Find My community.

I’ve reviewed various e-bikes and in the end selected VanMoof’s $2,300 X3 as a result of it regarded cool and ticked so many bins. Then, final July, the Dutch e-bike maker declared chapter.
