Bikeep lockers in transit stations enable municipalities plan urban commute more efficiently
The lockers are strategically placed to provide safe and weatherproof bike parking for mixed-modal transit.
In recent years, municipalities have seen a great influx of new micromobility vehicles — bikes, e-bikes, and scooters. These have become a preferred method of commuting to train stations in both urban and rural areas. One of the greatest benefits of micromobility lies in mixed-modal transit: ride to the train station, leave your bike securely, take the train, and continue by public transportation, shared scooter, bike rental, or on foot. This approach eliminates the need for a car entirely, reduces environmental impact, and keeps trains free of bikes that would take up space and inconvenience other passengers.
Research consistently shows that the majority of people prefer this transit method over car dependency. As commuters travel more consciously, mixed-modal solutions are increasingly welcomed worldwide.
The train-to-bike transit model is particularly important because it bridges short and longer distances, removing cars from the equation. A compelling example comes from the Netherlands, where over half of all train trips begin with a bike ride. The challenges the Netherlands faces are not unique — and neither should the solutions be.
Those bikes need a secure place to wait while their owners are away. Bikeep smart lockers provide a fully enclosed parking space that can be accessed with a transit card, the Bikeep app, or any RFID (contactless) card of the user's choice.
"Why the train station was a priority place for our project is the example we see from other cities that work great! People start using more bikes when they come to the station instead of their cars, which are a bottleneck for the entrance area during drop-off and pick-up times. Also the micromobility boom has proven to increase the commuter number who wish to have the solution at hand. We are more than happy to provide it for them." — Toomas Türk, Head of Future City, City of Tallinn
Smart Administration for City Operators
Bikeep lockers offer municipalities far more than secure parking. The administration panel is entirely controlled by the client, giving operators full flexibility over how the lockers are used — whether for public parking, bike-sharing systems, rental programs, or other custom configurations. Key features include:
- Keyless access via the Bikeep app or any RFID/contactless card
- Built-in e-bike charging to support the growing fleet of electric micromobility vehicles
- Durable, architect-designed enclosures that blend into urban and transit environments
- A centralized admin console that provides usage data to help cities plan infrastructure more efficiently
With installations already across multiple countries, Bikeep lockers are helping municipalities reimagine urban commuting — creating cities where micromobility is the default, not the exception.
