Why a scaling bike parking network needs IoT, not Bluetooth
Bluetooth locks scale to a dozen doors. Networks that reach hundreds need devices with their own connection — and a platform that outlives the hardware.

New bicycles are added to the streets every day. All those e-bikes and regular bikes need proper infrastructure to support them. Bikeep's CEO outlined in a quarterly report what this bicycle boom has meant for the business — and what it signals for the future of urban mobility.
According to the report, 130 million additional e-bikes are projected to enter streets worldwide in the coming years. This rapid growth in micromobility is creating significant demand for smart, secure bike parking and e-bike charging solutions at transit hubs, commercial properties, universities, and cities.
Bikeep's smart stations are designed to meet exactly this challenge — providing secure, connected parking and charging infrastructure that scales with the growing number of cyclists commuting and traveling by e-bike.

Since 2016, Bikeep smart bike parking stations at BART have cut bike theft and outlasted a decade of daily use across the Bay Area transit network.

A summer pilot on Princess Street became permanent: 18 secure Bikeep docks across three downtown Kingston locations, free for residents and visitors.
