Bike use surged in 2020 as the pandemic made people more conscious of their wellbeing. The world is changing, and more and more cities will soon look like the bicycle city of Amsterdam. This has brought some busy and exciting times for Estonian micromobility enabler Bikeep in solving urban infrastructure problems.
As cities worldwide accelerate investment in sustainable transport, demand for smart bike parking and charging infrastructure has grown significantly. Bikeep has been at the forefront of this shift, deploying smart stations across universities, municipalities, airports, and commercial properties to support the growing wave of cyclists and e-bike riders.
