In recent years, electric bicycles have become increasingly popular around company premises. And this trend is set to continue, thanks to a number of government schemes.
Thanks to their electric motor and battery, they can cover longer distances effortlessly and at higher speeds, while reducing CO2 emissions. More and more people are turning to EABs as an environmentally-friendly and practical means of transport for their daily commutes or leisure activities.
However, owning an electric bike also means taking into account its storage and recharging to guarantee its durability and safety. And the companies and towns are often not well equipped to accommodate these bikes.

Electric bike garage - The importance of suitable parking for electric bikes
By definition, electric bikes are often more expensive than more standard bicycles. People using these solutions are therefore more reluctant to leave their e-bikes in plain sight during the working day.
Because of the significant investment involved, EVAT owners sometimes prefer other means of transport, for fear of having their EVAT stolen when parked. However, this means of locomotion meets all their expectations, as it is often faster, more ecological and more economical than other means of transport.
Facilities are also lacking when it comes to recharging the battery after a long ride, or when you've forgotten. It's uncomfortable to have to do without electric assistance for your journey.
Because of their construction, electric bikes need to be housed in specially designed shelters. As they are heavier, the garage must allow great mobility inside it, and as the batteries are sensitive, the shelter must be able to keep the bike dry, as well as in the right temperature range to avoid damaging the electric bike.
Electric bike garage - Electric bike charging station
The choice of charging station is an important element for your garage for electric bikes and other electric vehicles.
It enables your employees' bikes to be efficiently recharged for their daily commute.
On the other hand, it's not necessary to equip all the spaces with charging stations, unless all the employees use electric bikes with low autonomies. In addition, you have to take into account the number of users who will use the garage with unassisted bikes.
