Secure lockers for high-end rental mountain bikes in Andorra

In January 2021 GuardaTOT in Andorra installed more than 16 Bikeep smart bike lockers. Its job was demanding. The lockers store high-end mountain bikes for rental, each worth more than $8,000, in a mountain country where bikes face snow, wind and rain as well as thieves.

Why lockers for expensive bikes

A dock keeps a bike from being taken. A locker goes further and protects every part of it. On a high-end mountain bike the saddle, wheels, suspension and electronics are all worth stealing, and an enclosed locker keeps all of them out of sight and out of reach.

• Room for the whole bike. Each locker is large enough for a full-size mountain bike, with space left for a helmet, shoes or a backpack.
• Fully enclosed. The bike is out of the weather and out of sight.
• No keys. Riders and staff open a locker with the Bikeep app or an RFID card, so there are no keys to lose or copy.
• Charging ready. An optional charging add-on lets e-bikes charge while they are locked away.

Run from one screen

The operator manages every locker from Bikeep's online admin. It sets who can open which locker and when, sees how the lockers are used, and can charge per use if it wants to. For a rental business that means a premium experience for customers and full control over a fleet of very valuable bikes.

"We managed to provide a clever approach that saves space, money, and is the safest way to park your bike long-term." Kristjan Lind, CEO of Bikeep
