The electric bike station, by Fifteen

The Fifteen ultra-compact station enables self-service electric bike rental services to be deployed in any type of area. The Fifteen charging station targets both large cities, where several hundred charging stations will be installed, and small towns seeking to offer their citizens an electric bike service for long-term rental with minimal management through self-service distribution. The Fifteen ultra-compact station is lightweight and compact, making it the ideal choice for local authorities. 

Further information on the Fifteen charging station can be found in the blog article “Bike-sharing in Marseille: the flexible choice”.

The Fifteen self-service electric bike station stands out from other solutions because of its lightness, low associated investment costs, and a global security system that relies on software intelligence to prevent possible damage. Its system of electromagnets prevents damage to the bike if it is pulled out of its dock. With its electronic motor lock, which is tamper-proof, a bike that has been pulled out of the its dock is unusable. The bike is permanently connected, so it can be geolocated at all times.

More than 500 Fifteen ultra-compact stations have been deployed or are currently being set up and distributed within a range of services such as the self-service electric bikes of the Marseille Metropolis, the Saint-Etienne Metropolis, the Epinal Conurbation, electric bikes at train stations in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region and the augmented cycling network of the Auxerrois conurbation, combining short- and long-term rental.

The Fifteen charging terminal offers significant investment savings compared to an individual docking system. At the same time, the inconspicuous design of the station equipment limits the risk of damage and the associated repair costs.

With geolocation, continuous connectivity and a removable battery, the Fifteen electric bike can be operated with and without charging stations. For reasons of operational efficiency, Fifteen recommends lightweight charging stations with the capacity to charge up to 10 electric bikes on the equivalent of a single car parking space. If there are no charging stations, the operator can replace the batteries directly in the field and ensure tidy parking thanks to the creation of virtual charging stations directly in the Fifteen Control management interface.
