Conventional bike rack
Organizes parking and provides a physical locking point.
BIKEEP • SMART BIKE PARKING
Bike parking should be part of the journey.
Bikeep brings secure bicycle parking, digital access and e bike charging into connected infrastructure. Areatec designs deployments for transit hubs, universities, workplaces and urban spaces.
The project considers location, capacity, access, power, connectivity and operating routines.
WHAT IT IS
Far more than a structure to lock a bicycle.
Smart bike parking combines physical infrastructure, access control and operational management. Riders get a clear way to park. Operators can follow occupancy, access, availability and maintenance according to the project.
Smart bike parking
Adds access, controlled locking, operating data and charging options.
TWO JOURNEYS • ONE SYSTEM
Simple for riders. Observable for operators.
For riders
Find the station, identify, unlock, park the bicycle and continue the journey.
For operations
Follow occupancy, access events, availability and maintenance needs.
For mobility planning
Relate capacity, modal integration and use patterns to support decisions.
CONFIGURATIONS
The deployment follows the place.
There is no single station that is right for every context. Design starts with demand, available space and the operating model.
Connected station
Spaces with controlled locking and access defined for the project.
E bike charging
Power and dwell time designed for electric bicycle routines.
Bicycles and scooters
Configurations for different light mobility modes at one location.
Deployment alternatives
Solutions compatible with available power and site infrastructure.
SCALE PUBLISHED BY THE MANUFACTURER
Technology matured across different contexts.
Bikeep publishes these figures on its institutional channels. They describe the manufacturer global footprint. Each Brazilian deployment depends on the contracted scope and local conditions.

BEFORE INSTALLATION
A good project begins with concrete questions.
Expected flow, capacity, dwell time, access, power, connectivity, accessibility and maintenance determine the configuration. Technology comes after this reading.
- Where do journeys begin and end?
- How many spaces and which modes are needed?
- How will people identify and gain access?
- Are power, connectivity and maintenance available?
- Which data is needed and for how long?
WHERE IT FITS
Infrastructure that connects the bicycle to the destination.
Public transport
Hubs where bicycles complete the first or last part of a trip.
Universities and workplaces
Sites with predictable dwell time and a need for organized access.
Public space and retail
Destinations that need to receive bicycles without improvisation.
Mobility networks
Distributed deployments that require visibility into occupancy, availability and maintenance.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions about smart bike parking, access and charging
What is smart bike parking?+
It combines physical bicycle parking with capabilities such as controlled locking, identified access and operational management. The exact setup depends on the site and project purpose.
How is Bikeep different from a conventional bike rack?+
A rack gives riders a physical point to attach a bicycle. A Bikeep station can add controlled locking, access methods, occupancy information and charging options.
Can Bikeep charge electric bicycles?+
Yes. Configurations are available for e bike charging. Power, connectors, dwell time, electrical protection and use rules must be defined for the deployment.
How do riders access a station?+
Access may use an app, a card or a compatible integration, depending on project design. The choice should consider the audience, operation and systems already in place.
Does it support electric scooters?+
Configurations are available for scooters and other light mobility modes. Design must consider geometry, charging, circulation and expected capacity.
Does the system prevent every theft?+
No infrastructure should promise zero risk. The station adds controlled locking and management resources, while lighting, placement, installation, maintenance and operator procedures remain important.
Can it integrate with transit or workplace systems?+
Integration can be assessed according to the systems involved, available interfaces and access rules. Technical scope should be confirmed before any commitment.
How should capacity and location be chosen?+
The decision starts with demand, nearby destinations, dwell time, pedestrian circulation, accessibility, power and maintenance capacity.
