Thankfully they had thought through the accidental locking, it needs to be stationary and in a certain position to lock. It's just getting it unlocked that is a little more of a hassle now :).

Sorry for the confusion I meant I can do all the service on the bike except the electronics. Things like brake pads and tires that wear down easily. On the Vanmoof it's a little more challenging to remove wheels for security - which I used to appreciate because I've had even little things like a mount for a light taken off my bike... but now I prefer it to be easier to service and just carry around more locks.

But that's all dependent on the implementation details: is the lock remotely activated or is it locally activated after local verification that those conditions are present. Because otherwise some joker could remote lock your bike, even when in motion. The outward appearance would be identical!

Thankfully you need to physically lock it with a button push on the back wheel. Unlocks can be done remotely with the app though (with a nearby bluetooth connection).
