General information
- Short Summary
- Italian leader in sustainable mobility solutions has developed an innovative modular infrastructure system for integrated urban bicycle service. The system integrates bike sharing, bike parking, bike rental, and bike logistics into a single infrastructure, combining IoT-powered hardware and advanced software for complete service management.
- Full Description
-
This innovative Italian company has revolutionized urban bicycle services through a comprehensive modular system that seamlessly integrates four key services: bike sharing, bike parking, bike rental and urban logistics.
The system consists of three main hardware solutions:
· Weelo HUB: large modular stations (40/80 bikes) designed for high-traffic areas and intermodal nodes
· Weelo BOX: compact units (8 bikes) perfect for capillary distribution in urban areas
· Weelo FIT: customizable parking solutions (6-20 bikes) that adapt to any urban context
Each module is equipped with advanced features including:
· Smart access control with remote management.
· Video surveillance and LED lighting for enhanced security.
· E-bike charging stations to support electric mobility.
· Self-service repair stations to improve user experience.
· Solar-powered energy autonomy for a low environmental impact.
· Integrated air quality sensors for urban monitoring.
· Digital communication displays for real-time service updates.
The entire system is managed through a sophisticated software platform that provides:
· Real-time fleet management and predictive maintenance.
· User access control & multi-payment solutions.
· Mobility analytics for service optimization.
· Seamless integration with third-party mobility providers and MaaS platforms.
With successful implementations in over 100 Italian cities, the company offers full support in system planning, installation, and maintenance, ensuring a turnkey solution for partners. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The system introduces several groundbreaking innovations in urban bicycle services:
• First fully integrated solution combining sharing, parking, rental and logistics in a single modular infrastructure, enabling optimal space utilization and cost efficiency
• Revolutionary approach to bike rental through automated stations, allowing 24/7 service without staff, ideal for tourism and corporate mobility
• Game-changing urban logistics solution through strategically placed micro-hubs that enable night-time parcel aggregation and zero-emission last-mile delivery during the day
Key competitive advantages include:
· Fully automated operations requiring minimal human intervention, significantly reducing operational costs compared to traditional solutions
· Advanced software platform enabling real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and seamless integration with existing mobility systems
· Energy autonomous stations through solar power integration, reducing environmental impact and operational costs · Modular design allowing gradual system expansion and adaptation to different urban contexts
· Multi-functional stations that can switch between services (sharing/rental/logistics) based on time of day, maximizing infrastructure utilization
· Proven technology with over 100 successful implementations, supported by comprehensive planning, installation, and maintenance services - Stage of Development
