for a fee https://www.vanmoof.com/en-US/peace-of-mind

but i could see a world where I own two of these and not even bother locking them anywhere, just constantly get one 'stolen' while i ride the other, and cycle (ha) between the two?

> We can only recover or replace a stolen bike if the Theft Defense system was armed and the Kick Lock was properly engaged when your bike was stolen.

They also recover the bike only up to three times in 3-year timespan. Still, sounds like a great service!

That sounds like two more times than anybody else would recover it.

True, I find the service more than fair.
