My friend recently gave me their ex's vanmoof S3. I do not have the digital key for it.
This market resolves Yes if I am able to unlock and ride it in the next 3 months. I'll pay up to 500 USD as a bounty if someone helps me unlock/ride it.
I am happy to contact vanmoof if that seems like a good path to go down, or to do mild [dis/re]assembly/electronics work. I'm willing to invest 12-15 hours in this endeavor.
PS: I pinky promise it is not stolen (to the best of my knowledge).
PPS: I reserve the right to bet No in this market.

3.00@RobertCousineau new limit orders are up. Extending the market for 4 days past the initial close date, assuming no one complains in the next 24 hours.
@Eliza you definitely can.
Assuming other traders here are OK with it I am happy to extend the market until April 4th (when I leave the state for a bit) too.
Hammer and screwdriver, to hit on the inside of the kicklock. It’s super easy if you know the spots. Only issue is the cartridge which will stay locked
It’s a magnet system, you can easily open it
Sometimes the kicklock was stuck but you were able to “unlock” the cartridge, but the bike consider it locked due to the kicklock
I can unlock any Vanmoof in the street but you have to know what you do
Basically, you might not be able to use it as a bike, even if you get the lock open.
@Eliza ahh - my goal is definitely to be able to use it as a bike. I was sort of hoping there be something like the below sequence I could do:
Open bike
Wipe/Replace storage drive
Remove battery
Remove CMOS battery
Return everything to it's rightful place
