VanMoof riders are trying to sell their bicycles on Marktplaats now that the Amsterdam company is on the verge of collapse. If the company goes bankrupt, the question is whether the bicycles can be made.
So it comes as no surprise that more than a hundred advertisements were added today and yesterday. The bicycle brand makes its own parts that are not easy to get elsewhere. “These own parts make the brand exclusive,” says Joyce Donat of the Consumers’ Association. “Consumers want that too, that’s what they choose.” People who have such a bicycle are therefore left empty-handed if a bankruptcy occurs.
And that is a big problem because the two-wheelers are far from reliable. “I have two VanMoofs, because one is often broken,” a customer told AT5. A store of the company on the Mauritskade also closed yesterday, probably because of angry customers. People are then left behind with many questions and broken bicycles, which they now put on Marktplaats.
