I'm surprised... Cologne, Germany has dockless bike rental for more than a decade, but none of the operators complain about excessive vandalism.
Culturally it shouldn't be to different from France.
The DB bikes were pretty sturdy though - I typically referred to 'renting a tank'.
There were some rumours the Chinese bike rentals were only after their customer's data, since none of their models could've been profitable. Maybe they gathered enough and are on their way out?
