Bicycle battery charging locker: an essential for urban cyclists
Over the years, the electric bike has become a leading mode of transport in urban centers. More than half of cyclists now use an e- bike for their daily commute (source: Vélo & Territoires, 2023). This trend has created new demands, notably the need to be able to recharge the battery safely and at any time . At Vélo Galaxie, we've responded to this need with a product that has become essential: the charging locker for electric bike batteries. Let's explore together why it has become a staple of modern urban furniture.
Facilitating electric mobility through suitable infrastructure
E-bike enthusiasts are well aware of this crucial question: where can you recharge your battery in the city? Few places are equipped to meet this demand. That's why we designed our charging lockers with one idea in mind: to simplify cyclists' lives. Compact, secure, accessible, and durable, this furniture meets the needs of users, as well as local authorities and businesses committed to promoting sustainable mobility. Our lockers are designed to be inclusive: suitable for bicycles, but also for scooters, light electric scooters, and even some models of urban motorcycles.
Enhanced safety: for batteries… and users
We know that safety is a priority for every cyclist . Lithium-ion batteries can pose risks when mishandled or exposed to poor ventilation during charging. That's why our lockers meet the most demanding standards: natural ventilation, individual fire-resistant compartments, electronic locking systems, and integrated electrical protection. Our goal: to ensure that every cyclist can plug in their charger with complete confidence, whether during the workday or a break in the city.
According to ADEME (the French Agency for Ecological Transition), 80% of fires involving electric bikes are caused by improper charging, often in unsuitable locations (ADEME report, 2022). A secure locker drastically reduces these risks.
Smart lockers for a connected city
Connectivity, centralized management and energy autonomy
Our lockers are not just simple lockable boxes: they are truly intelligent devices. Thanks to a digital interface, it's possible to reserve a compartment, view occupancy levels, and even manage maintenance remotely. Furthermore, some models in our range are compatible with solar panels or energy recovery systems, making the installation more self-sufficient. In this way, we are anticipating the cities of tomorrow: greener, more interconnected, and more pleasant to live in for users of sustainable mobility.
A solution endorsed by public and private institutions
Many local authorities and businesses are already choosing our solutions. Whether it's a university campus, a suburban train station, or the plaza of a large shopping center, Vélo Galaxie lockers offer a simple answer to an urgent need. By installing these lockers, these locations actively participate in the ecological transition while enhancing their appeal to low-carbon users. Our lockers can be customized: add a logo, choose materials, and design elements to blend seamlessly into the public space.
In 2023, nearly 700,000 electric bikes were sold in France, representing a 12% increase compared to the previous year (Union Sport & Cycle, 2023 Market Statistics). This figure demonstrates a growing need for readily available charging infrastructure. urban.
A long-term commitment to a cycling-friendly city
Eco-design and French manufacturing: our hallmark
At Vélo Galaxie, we've made local roots and eco-design our cornerstones. Our lockers are entirely designed and manufactured in France, using recyclable materials and a commitment to sustainability. Each model is designed to last, minimize maintenance, and reduce its carbon footprint throughout its entire lifecycle. We believe that cycling infrastructure must also be exemplary in its environmental impact.
Furniture for all urban mobility practices
Whether you're a daily cyclist, an urban motorcyclist, or an electric scooter user , our lockers are designed to adapt to every use. Modular formats, adjustable heights, and additional storage options (gloves, helmets, etc.) make our offering a valuable ally for multimodal journeys. This system thus becomes a powerful tool for encouraging new practices and demonstrating that the city understands the needs of its users.
In short, the electric battery charging locker is not just a practical product: it's a response to a lifestyle, a technological transition that has become social and urban.
