Key Stations
At the heart of the On Bike Share solution are the automated key stations. These key stations securely store and electronically release keys for bikes in the system. The key stations can be installed into the wall of any building or foyer, so bikes can be deployed in convenient locations across your campus. Users can access the key stations and bikes using their existing employee or student ID cards.
Once a bike is checked out of a key station, the user can lock the bike to any standard bike rack using the integrated U-lock on the bike frame. This makes our system convenient for users to park close to their destination, and not need to hunt for a nearby key station. Bikes can then be returned to any On Bike Share key station when convenient. This innovative key station approach provides a highly secure and cost-effective way of controlling and tracking shared bicycle usage.
Easy to Use
The On Bike Share system is designed to make it simple to use. Walk up to any On Bike Share key station and swipe your existing employee ID card or student ID card over the panel. The key station also has a full touchscreen display. For additional security, an optional password can be required using the touchscreen. Swiping your key opens the key station panel door and highlights a key for the next available bike at that station. The keys are electronically controlled, and only the highlighted key can be removed. When the key is removed, the backend software management system will record the user, location, time, and bike that was taken. The user takes the key to the matching bike at that location, unlocks the integrated lock on the bike, and rides away. To return the bike, users simply lock the bike back onto the On Bike Share bike rack using the integrated lock built into the frame, walk up the key station and swipe their card. The key station panel door will open and highlight the location to return the key. Close the door and walk away.
Faster Deployments
Our key station approach also makes it easy for you to get a fully automated bike share system up and running quickly. Our complete systems combine our key stations with our innovative low maintenance Bicycles. Our specially designed bicycles use an integrated lock design which increases security and reduces abuse. You can start with any number of bikes, and as your needs grow, you can easily add bikes to the system at any time. If you already have existing bicycles, you can use your own locks and keys to add your existing bikes to our key stations. This provides a fast and cost effective transition to full automation.
Highly Secure
The On Bike Share system key stations electronically secure and release keys to authorized users. The key stations are made of reinforced steel and are designed to be service and maintenance free. The robust backend software management system controls, monitors and tracks keys, bikes and users across the system. You can connect up to hundreds of key stations into a single 'site', allowing you to create a truly distributed bike share system that allows users to pick up and return bikes to any On Bike Share key station. our backend management software also provides in-depth control over users access as well as bike and key tracking. The software offers detailed reports on bike locations, usage patterns and status reports.
