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.
Build your innovative business and strengthen your brand with our platform just like Big Street Bikers did with Locky Docks.
Big Street Bikers partnered with Bikeep to launch Locky Docks, a branded e-bike and e-scooter charging network rolling out across New Zealand. The initiative demonstrates how Bikeep's smart parking and charging infrastructure can serve as a white-label platform for entrepreneurs and mobility companies looking to build their own charging networks.
"Wellington City Councillor Tamatha Paul is putting forward an amendment for the council to approve a series of Locky Docks charging stations being set up on city streets.
The galvanised steel locking stations debuted last week at 10 sites in Christchurch.
The docks can be used with electric or regular bikes, as well as electric scooters. Locks are built into the docks and are opened or closed using an app." Read more
Locky Docks stations are designed for public street deployment, giving riders a secure, app-controlled place to lock and charge their e-bikes and e-scooters. The stations support both electric and conventional bikes, making them a flexible solution for cities managing growing micromobility demand.
Bikeep's platform enables partners to deploy smart, connected infrastructure under their own brand — handling the hardware, software, and connectivity needed to run a modern shared or public charging network.

Bluetooth locks scale to a dozen doors. Networks that reach hundreds need devices with their own connection — and a platform that outlives the hardware.

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.
