A modular secure locker for hire cycles that makes seamless city travel as easy as riding a bike.
“Seymourpowell’s brilliant docking station will allow us to share [our] passion with more people across the UK and the world.”
Challenge
Brompton, famous maker of lightweight foldable and portable cycles, saw an opportunity to set up a network of unmanned but secure rental stations for its bikes. We designed the easy-to-manufacture, high-security docking station and the UI which underpins the system.
Insights
The core concept consists of an 8-module dock which can be specified with a single solar panel. Additional pods of 4 docks can be added on, if and when demand increases. The solar panel means the units can be completely self-contained and easily installed without having to interfere with local services and utilities.
Outcome
A stand-alone design for maximum flexibility and efficiency, streamlining the user experience and maximising opportunities for branding and advertising.
