Advantages of a share bike system

More and more employees are biking to work. But what about those who cannot because of distance or other reasons? For them, the company can provide share bikes that they can use throughout the day for travel in and around the company’s site. The last mile from the train station to work, getting a sandwich in the afternoon, a quick trip to a partner or client nearby or maybe just a breath of fresh air can also be done this way with a bike share system. The company chooses the number of share bikes and they have a choice between quality E-bikes or city bikes.

“At Zingi, taking care of our customer’s needs is our main focus,” said Alexander De Bièvre, co-founder of Zingi. “The starting point for this is that our share bikes are equipped with a smart lock, which digitizes the bikes. This gives you as a customer access to numerous features that save you time and money. For example, you open the bike with your smartphone or company badge: no one has to worry about keys or keeping track of who uses which bike. The track-and-trace function takes care of the latter. In one click you also get a view of all the info regarding your bike fleet.”

Why lease bikes?

Not every company has the resources to purchase such bikes. But what comes into play even more is the work involved. What if the bike gets stolen or breaks down? What about maintenance work? Cyclis ensures that the company has no work to do here. The share bikes come with comprehensive insurance, annual maintenance and roadside assistance at a staggered cost over three years.
”Meanwhile, we have more than 30,000 lease bikes on the road. Rather, these are personal bikes that are not shared within the company. The share bike system is a great addition to the mobility offerings at companies. This way the company can turn out quality bikes for all employees, including those who cannot commute by bike.‘ Joep Kempen, CEO Cyclis Bike Lease.

“We deploy the electric share bikes for our customers. This way, they don’t have to wait when they bring their car for maintenance and they can bike to work with the e-bike. The bike opens very easily with the card, so no more hassle with keys.” says Roel Vanden Boer of Volvo Celis .
