Smart e-cargo bike sharing with the KlimaEntLaster rental box
E-transport bikes are sustainable, climate-friendly means of transport that can be used in a versatile way. While they are already part of the streetscape in big cities, they have not yet established themselves much in small towns. Based on the findings of the project "KlimaEntLaster, opens an external URL in a new window", "eTransport 24/7" aims to enable person-free rental around the clock using the Smart KlimaEntLaster Rental Box and the associated online platform
The compact Smart Rental Box is equipped with a socket for charging the bike battery and safely stores the battery, the charger and the key for the bike lock. Registered users open the box using their smartphones.
KlimaEntLaster has shown that low-threshold person-free rental without time restrictions has a high potential to increase the number of reservations for transport bikes. Within the framework of the project, the rental box and the online platform will be implemented in five municipalities, will be technically refined and thus made marketable for use throughout Austria.
