ZIEGLER & BIKEEP: Pioneers of the intelligent two-wheel infrastructure
With cycling on the rise during and after the pandemic, more resources — both financial and operational — are being invested in sustainable urban mobility. The smart city concept has been around for decades, but only in recent years has it begun to make a measurable impact on how people move through cities.
Bikeep has partnered with Ziegler, a leading German distributor, to bring intelligent two-wheel infrastructure to the German market. Together, the two companies are positioning themselves as pioneers in smart bike parking and e-scooter charging — offering cities, municipalities, and commercial property operators a turnkey solution for managing two-wheel mobility at scale.
Bikeep's smart stations combine secure bike parking with integrated electronics, enabling features such as remote monitoring, usage analytics, and e-bike or e-scooter charging. These capabilities allow operators to better understand demand, reduce maintenance costs, and offer a higher standard of service to cyclists and scooter users alike.
The partnership with Ziegler brings local expertise in sales, installation, and support — ensuring that German customers receive end-to-end service from initial consultation through to long-term operation. As German cities continue to invest in cycling infrastructure and green mobility, Bikeep and Ziegler are well-placed to support that transition with scalable, data-driven solutions.
