Solarcycle UK proudly unveils the successful launch of Solarcycle Iberia, marking a groundbreaking leap forward in sustainable transportation infrastructure. With five of its cutting-edge ‘solar-in-a-box’ e-bike charging systems already operational across Spain, Solarcycle Iberia is poised to meet the surging demand for workplace and community e-bike charging solutions in Spain and throughout Europe.

The inception of Solarcycle Iberia arrives at a pivotal juncture as organisations, municipalities, and building contractors in Spain gear up for impending legislation on sustainable and active travel, as well as green energy initiatives. This trend echoes similar movements across Europe, representing a significant opportunity for Solarcycle’s innovative off-grid e-bike charging solutions.

Unique Reporting Function

Solarcycle’s smart modular solar charging stations can be tailored to any situation and scale. Featuring a unique Reporting Function that measures the kWh of free-to-use, 100% renewable solar energy dispensed, organisations can chart their progress towards sustainability objectives and tangibly measure their carbon impact. Solarcycle is the only off-grid solar e-bike charging system offering this feature, distinguishing it as the standout product in the market.

Developed by Cyclists for Cyclists

Born from a passion of cycling, Solarcycle leads the way in providing an off-grid, ‘solar-in-a-box’ EV charging solution. As a licensed partner, Solarcycle Iberia manages all local manufacturing, with backing from Solarcycle UK, which extends support in marketing, exhibitions, sales collateral, and product roadmap development. Under the new license agreement, Solarcycle Iberia receives comprehensive resources including a detailed bill of materials, illustrated assembly guide, supply chain agreements, and system diagram wiring guide.

Sergio Dominguez, Co-Founder of Solarcycle Iberia, exudes enthusiasm about the partnership, affirming: “It’s fantastic that Paul extended this opportunity to us to be part of Solarcycle. This innovative e-bike charging solution holds immense promise for Spain and Europe. The sleek charging totem design, coupled with hassle-free installation that necessitates no groundwork, underscores its appeal. Paul’s unwavering support in setting us up, coupled with invaluable marketing, product, and technical assistance, has propelled us to serve our first new customers with utmost efficiency.”

Paul Stratford, Founder of Solarcycle UK, shares in the excitement: “Our license partnership with Solarcycle Iberia is a significant milestone. It paves the way for our ‘solar-in-a-box’ e-bike charging stations to revolutionise sustainable transport across Spain and Europe. We spared no effort in equipping Sergio and Fernando for success, providing comprehensive product training, site visits, and installation advice. We will also gather data from the units to remotely supply over the air updates via our app. The licensing model enables prospective partners globally to offer an award-winning product with a robust roadmap for transport decarbonisation worldwide and we are actively looking for new partners in other regions.”

100% Renewable Energy

With quick installation and no requirement for groundwork or mains connection, these solar-powered e-bike charging points can be operational within just one day. Harnessing sunlight through flexible PV panels, the system efficiently converts renewable energy into electrical current for e-bike charging on the SolarPoint totems, each capable of charging up to two bikes simultaneously. Solarcycle is designed to deliver an environmentally and economically sustainable transport solution, facilitating the transition to carbonless commuting.

Solarcycle’s solar-powered charging stations ensure that e-bikes are charged with renewable energy, meaning that businesses can operate their charging stations without emitting any harmful greenhouse gases. With no on-going energy costs, businesses can save money on their energy bills, making it a cost-effective option for organisations looking to save money while reducing their carbon footprint. What’s more, the low installation cost of Solarcycle’s e-bike charging stations makes it a cost-effective option for any business and organisation looking to go green.

E-bikes, when charged with Solarcycle, are the zero-emission mode of transport, emitting no greenhouse gases during operation. The benefits of installing Solarcycle’s e-bike charging stations are clear. With no on-going energy costs, low installation costs, financial savings, and sustainability benefits, it’s an excellent option for businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint while saving money. 

Improve Health & Well-Being

Beyond the environmental and cost benefits of solar e-bike charging, encouraging employees to use e-bikes instead of cars or buses can lead to significant health and organisational benefits. Regular exercise has been proven to improve mental health, reduce stress, and increase productivity. With e-bikes, employees can enjoy a low-impact exercise while commuting to work, improving their overall health, well-being, and productivity. 

Organisations bear a significant responsibility in the collective effort to decarbonise our economy and pave the way towards achieving ambitious net-zero targets. As transportation stands as the largest single source of emissions, it becomes paramount to reassess and innovate our approaches to travel. In today’s landscape, where sustainability and employee well-being are increasingly becoming top priorities for businesses and organisations, the concept of “active travel” has gained substantial traction. E-bikes, stand out as a particularly compelling choice, providing a blend of efficiency, accessibility, and eco-friendliness that aligns seamlessly with the evolving needs of modern workplaces and communities.
