The electric bike: more practical and ecological!

Nowadays, it is no surprise to come across someone on an electric bike, both in cities and in the countryside. This mode of transport is very easy to use and can reach high speeds in addition, the electric bike is also economical and 100% environmentally friendly.

The electric bike is a solution that helps reduce car traffic which will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. With the electric bike, users can get around the city easily and quickly, no more traffic jams or parking problems!

Taking the electric bike to work

There are plenty of reasons to cycle to work instead of driving. Across Europe, the top reasons why people would switch to e-biking are "to keep fit" (34%) "to protect the environment" (30%) and "to save money" (30%).
Besides these three benefits, there are numerous others.

The electric two-wheeler finally allows everyone to make a gesture to the environment and proves more reliable than a car or public transport when one wants to arrive at work on time.

Your professional activities as an employee require you to use various means of transport during your commute.
You may need to travel from your home to work, visit customers or from one branch of your company to another, or attend occasional meetings.

Electric bikes are more convenient and environmentally friendly, have low maintenance costs for the employer and are one of the most economical transport solutions.

In this more responsible mobility approach, more and more companies and city governments are encouraging electric mobility services.

It is also important to note that in some countries, employees who use an electric bicycle provided by their employer in the company may be eligible for various sustainable mobility packages (e.g. bicycle mileage allowance), bicycle bonus (for the purchase of an electrically assisted bicycle) or financial support from the state (electric bicycle bonus) under certain conditions.

Charging the electric bike at the office

And with the huge growth of electric bikes comes the demand for bike battery charging capacity. At home, it's easy - you just plug the battery into a wall socket.

At work, however, the demand for cargo capacity is much higher and less accessible.

Remember that the battery life of electric bikes tends to increase as research in this area progresses. However, it is always safer to have a charging station within easy reach that can be used when needed.

At this point, it is important to keep in mind that the battery of the electric bike is not the same as a tablet or smartphone. This means you need to take some precautions before charging it.

Moreover, you should know that using chargers for this type of battery requires compliance with standard NF C15-100. This means that the room where you will charge your electric bike's battery must be ventilated so that the temperature is between 10 and 30°C.

Using all these battery charging conditions, Bravour® offers several solutions: the bicycle battery charging lockers.

Charge lockers for bicycle batteries

In our range, you will find various battery charging boxes, specially designed to charge your bicycle battery.

Most lockers can accommodate 5 or 10 bicycle batteries.
One of the big advantages is that multiple sockets are immediately available in one place, so that employees of your company can use this charging facility simultaneously.
The other advantage is that the bicycle batteries are stored in a theft-proof manner.
As the lockers are fitted with combination locks, each employee can enter a code himself; no keys or RFID cards that could get lost are needed.

Your employee or colleague can charge the battery during working hours, ensuring a full battery when they go home at the end of the day.
