With the rapid growth of sustainable mobility, businesses play a key role in equipping and adapting their infrastructure. By 2025, electric scooters and bicycles will be an integral part of employees' daily lives. Yet, many company parking lots and business premises are not yet adapted to these new uses. Installing charging stations for electric scooters and bicycles is no longer just a convenience: it's a way to attract, retain, and demonstrate CSR commitment.
Electric mobility: rapidly expanding uses for home-work journeys
Companies have clearly understood this: promoting the use of sustainable mobility means offering their employees a more responsible work environment , reducing CO₂ emissions related to commuting, and enhancing their employer brand . And while covered bike shelters are now commonplace, the next step is clear: recharging the batteries is essential.
Electric bikes ( e-bikes ), in particular, have won over users thanks to their versatility and ease of use. But with an average range of 40 to 80 kilometers, daily recharging often becomes necessary… hence the need for integrated solutions in the workplace.
Why install a charging station for electric scooters and bicycles?
Installing an electric bike charging station on your premises or in your parking lot offers many immediate advantages:
- A service with high perceived value for your employees, clients or visitors
- Concrete action in your CSR strategy (certifications, labels, carbon footprint)
- Compliance with certain local regulations or public aid (mobility bonus, company travel plans)
- A competitive advantage in the attractiveness of your real estate offers (offices to rent, business zones)
Charging station models have also evolved: today we find multifunctional stations , capable of charging both e-bikes and electric scooters , with secure sockets, centralized consumption management and sometimes even IoT sensors to control usage.
At Vélo Galaxie, we observe that companies that take this step quickly benefit from positive feedback: better punctuality of employees, reduced stress related to parking, improved work atmosphere… And above all, strong employee support for the mobility policy implemented.
What solutions are available for businesses? From a simple charging point to a complete station?
There are several levels of equipment depending on your needs, your budget and your technical constraints:
1. The charging point integrated into the bike mount
This discreet system combines secure parking with a power supply . Each bike rack or storage module has a standard (often 230V) outlet, protected against the elements. It's the simplest solution to install in a small parking lot or courtyard.
2. The dedicated multi-place charging station
Larger in size, this autonomous station can charge 4, 6, or even 10 bicycles or scooters simultaneously. It is often equipped with mechanical locking , nighttime lighting , and an energy management system (with a charge limiter or programmable charging).
This is where the term " electric bike charging station" takes on its full meaning. These stations, whether connected or not, become integral components of your real estate or quality of life at work (QWL) policy. Some models can even be financed through the sustainable mobility allowance or included in a regional call for projects.
3. Rechargeable shelters and smart terminals
Finally, some companies are opting for connected bike shelters that integrate charging stations, with badge access, video surveillance, or compatibility with internal mobility applications. These installations strongly enhance your commitment to sustainable electric mobility.
Vélo Galaxie offers tailor-made solutions adapted to each configuration. Our equipment is made in France , robust, compliant with current standards, and designed to withstand intensive use and the urban environment.
⚡ An energy transition within reach
Installing charging stations for electric bikes and scooters isn't just about infrastructure. It's about supporting a cultural shift . It's about enabling everyone to choose a mode of transportation that is respectful, reliable, and adapted to the realities of the 21st century.
More and more local authorities are making their support or aid conditional on concrete commitments to sustainable mobility. Integrating this equipment into your building or business site means anticipating future regulations and preparing your employees for tomorrow's practices.
France has set itself the goal of tripling the share of cycling in daily journeys by 2030. To achieve this ambition, every stakeholder counts: local authorities, landlords, developers… but also private companies, from very small businesses to large groups.
The transformation is already underway. Every day, thousands of employees are opting for smoother, faster, and more environmentally friendly travel. By installing a charging station for electric bikes or scooters, your company can play a role in this change.
At Vélo Galaxie , we support you at every stage of your project: feasibility study, equipment selection, installation, and maintenance.
