A Czech producer of secure bicycle stands with built-in charger for electric bikes is looking for partners focusing on smart cities solutions to conlude commercial agency agreement

There are some 20 million bicycles sold in the European Union annually. But parking a bike securely is a problem as the statistics shows, that 72 % of bicycles are stolen from public places and only 0,5% of stolen value is returned back to affected persons. To reduce such terrible crime-rate and to bring a new product suitable for current smart cities´ expansion, the Czech SME offers its smart bicycle stand with built-in charger for electric bicycles. The bicycle stand is fully autonomous and user unlocks it with a contactless card. Safety is ensured by an armoured chain and cannot be overcome with lever pliers. The stand is managed over the internet and it is equipped with a solar-charger, to maintain stand´s operation, not bicycles´s charging. The SME is interested in partnership with companies involved in smart cities projects, municipal transportation projects, and local transportation projects (schools, real estate developers, companies). The company is also preparing a modification of this bike-stand for development projects (like a parking rack for up to 8 electro-bicycles requiring one parking stall and including a possibility of local bikesharing for tenants). The company is seeking to expand to EU markets and therefore, it is looking for a local companies that are involved in municipal transportation projects, in smart cities projects and/local transportation projects (companies, schools and real estate developers). The company would like to enter in a longterm relationship within commercial agency agreement.
