How did that VanMoof end up in Japan?
That's quite the trip it made.
Also that must have been in the sweetspot of couple of month between the release of the bike and the bankruptcy, who else would want to transport a "dead" bike that far?
It seems I misunderstood and they did operate at some point in Japan:

The bikes were built in Taiwan anyway, so seems reasonable enough to sell them in Japan.
Vanmoof had a very flashy store in Omotesando
