The Volt C-arm is designed to provide a secure recharging solution for electric bikes. Here's how it works:

1. Detaching the battery :

   Users start by detaching the battery from their electric bike. Most electric bikes are equipped with removable batteries.

2. Placing the battery in the compartment :

   Once the battery has been removed, it is placed in the battery compartment inside the Volt roll bar. This compartment is designed to accommodate different sizes of electric bicycle batteries.

3. Connection to integrated socket :

   Inside the compartment, a charging socket is integrated. Users simply plug the battery into this socket to start recharging.

4. Closing and securing the compartment :

   Once the battery has been connected, the compartment closes and can be locked. This step ensures the safety of the battery during recharging. Locking can be achieved using a padlock.

5. Bicycle safety :

   In addition to securing the battery, users can also secure their bike by using the Volt hoop as an anchoring point. A padlock can be used to attach the bike frame to the bar.

Volt C-arm charging capacity :

Each Volt hoop allows two bikes to be parked and charged simultaneously. This means that two users can charge their bikes at the same time, optimizing the use of available space and resources.

Power supply options - You have two options for powering this hoop:

The Volt hoop offers flexibility in terms of power sources for recharging electric bikes:

• Solar panels : For installations where green energy is a priority, the Volt hoop can be fitted with solar panels. These panels capture solar energy and convert it into electricity to recharge the bikes' batteries. This option is ideal for ecologically conscious environments and for reducing carbon footprints.
• Electrical connection : For a more economical solution, the Volt C-arm can be connected to a conventional power source, such as your building. This option guarantees stable, continuous recharging, regardless of weather conditions.

The costs associated with installing Volt C-arms can vary depending on a number of factors. Here's an overview of some of the factors that can influence cost:

1. Number of Volt hoops :

   • The number of Volt hoops the customer wishes to purchase will have a direct impact on costs. The greater the number of hoops, the greater the amount of electricity or solar panels required.

2. Soil type :

   • Concrete : if the ground is concrete, the hoops can be mounted on base plates, simplifying installation.
   • Slab being poured : if a slab is being poured at the time of installation, the hoops can be embedded directly in the concrete

3. Power supply :

   • Solar panels : the solar-powered option is more expensive to install, but offers the advantage of autonomous recharging of electric bikes. This solution is ideal for customers wishing to promote the use of renewable energies and reduce their carbon footprint.
   • Electrical connection : This option is generally less expensive than solar panels, but depends on the building's power supply.

Yes, the Volt C-arm is eligible for grants and financial assistance that can cover part of the installation costs. Here are the main financing programs available:

Alvéole Plus program :

• • Target audience: public facilities such as schools, educational establishments, town halls, local authorities and railway stations.
  • Grant : This program finances up to 40% of the total cost of your bicycle shelter project, including the hoops, the structure itself, installation and delivery.
  • Conditions: To qualify for this grant, the project must be submitted to and approved by the relevant authorities. Our team can assist you in this process to maximize your chances of obtaining funding.
  • You can test your eligibility now and calculate the amount of your assistance.

OEPV program (Objectif Employeur Pro-Vélo) :

• • Target audience: private companies.
  • Grant : This program also finances up to 40% of the total cost of your bike shelter project, including hoops, structure, installation and delivery.
  • Conditions: Companies must submit a detailed application for funding and meet the eligibility criteria defined by the OEPV program. We offer full support in preparing and submitting your application.

The Volt roll bar is designed to provide optimum safety for both electric bikes and charging sockets. Here's how it does it:

Securing the battery :

1. • Safety compartment : The Volt rollbar features a compartment specially designed to house the electric bike's battery. This compartment protects the battery from theft and potential damage.
   • Secure closure : Once the battery has been placed in the compartment, it closes and can be secured with a padlock. This padlock can be the same as the one used to secure the bike, simplifying the process for the user.

Volt hoops can be installed in a variety of environments. Here are the recommendations and options for their installation:

1. Recommended floor types :

   • Concrete slab or concrete blocks : we strongly recommend installing Volt hoops on a concrete slab. This type of ground offers optimum stability, eliminating leverage and reducing the risk of the hoop bending over time.

2. Installation sites :

   • Businesses, public squares, schools, parks, etc... : Volt hoops can be installed in all kinds of locations. However, for sites with limited access to electricity, Volt hoops can be fitted with solar panels. This enables autonomous recharging of electric bicycles, without dependence on the electricity grid. If the installation is in an area with easy access to a power source, the hoops can be connected directly to the building's electricity grid, ensuring stable, continuous recharging.
