Given the surge in bicycle and scooter sales in recent months, the newspaper Les Échos took a closer look at Vélo Galaxie, a company that provides street furniture for bicycles and scooters . Here's what they had to say.
The boom in the use of soft mobility
Following the COVID-19 epidemic, we have observed changes in the habits of citizens with regard to their travels, in particular travel to their place of work. Indeed, the use of public transport has been set aside in favor of so-called soft means of transport, such as the bicycle or the scooter. However, these means of transport require a dedicated space to store them securely, which is what Vélo Galaxie is working on.
Secure bike and scooter parking
To minimize theft, VéloGalaxie offers bike racks that keep bicycles upright and prevent them from falling over, even when loaded with a pannier rack. To maximize the security of their bike parking facilities, VéloGalaxie has developed a 3-point locking system . In addition, the company has also developed a system of secure lockers for storing and charging electric scooters.
To conclude, companies and communities are increasingly mobilizing in the development of structures so that their employees can park their means of soft transport in a secure manner. VéloGalaxie offers several rack systems for this purpose, depending on the needs of companies and cities.
