Elecgo
Charge management is a significant hurdle for urban cycle share schemes striving to stay profitable while keeping up with the worldwide electric micromobility boom. Current e-bike charging maintenance creates hefty operational expenses and a pool of untapped value while the vehicles are recharging. Elecgo is a low-cost solution to implementing battery swapping and charging for urban cycle share scheme e-bikes. User-enabled battery swapping provides ‘instant’ accessible charging to boost bike revenue potential.
The lamppost connection is a flexible power provision for quick and easy install and, paired with a modular station design, is adaptable to specific locations and the changing demands of the city. The station provides convenient and secure self-service user access 24/7 through smart app connectivity.
Elecgo hopes to encourage the wider implementation of e-bikes into urban share schemes, further extending their accessibility and increasing sustainable transport for future carbon neutral cities.
