Bicycle Locking/Charging Station

The problem(s) with different charger ports/voltages/et al., should begin to dissipate very soon, as the EU’s rules about mobile devices (phones & tablets sold in the EU must all have a universal adapter by 2024) begins to propagate outward to vehicles and other mass produced rechargeable devices.

Makes sense though, at least for now. Car chargers are different for each vehicle because there was no standard. Same with cell phones. However, cell phones are supposed to have the same chargers in a few years.

The only problems I foresee with an ebike charging station is that each ebike has a particular male connector and the voltage/amps vary significantly. Most ebike companies warn the customer to only use the charger that comes with the ebike (and, yes, I realize that a sophisticated user can work outside those bounds).

Hi All, I had the pleasure of attending two days at the InnoTrans 2022 trade fair in Berlin, Germany two weeks ago. This is a biennial international trade fair for transport technology. Though mostly concerned with rail transport (I was in the industry for 39 years!) there was this one exhibit (at least, I didn’t see any others) for the bicycle world from an Austrian company called Merokey. This is a combination locking and charging station. Merokey has been making bicycle locking stations for a while, I would guess, but this new item can also charge e-bikes. What will they think of next?!?!? Jeff Erlitz  |
