Bycykel Mobil enhances personal mobility by using wireless technology to set city bikes free.
Commuters, Tourists, and Copenhageners can open a Bycykel Mobil account and have unlimited access to bicycles equipped with a secure lock, GPS, and wireless communications. A central server approves transactions and tracks the bike in the system.

Registration ProcessTo use the system, you must first create an account. You can register online using your personal computer, via mobile phone, or by using a kiosk.
Enter your credit card number and purchase access for a day, week, or year. All three access plans provide 30 minutes of free use each time a bike is unlocked, with escalating charges after the first half hour. This pricing system has been proven to keep trips short and bikes circulating.
If you wish to access the bikes using your mobile phone you must provide your mobile number. If you do not have a mobile phone, you are issued an account number, which is printed on the confirmation receipt. You must also select a four-digit pin number to confirm all transactions.

Locking the BikeOnce finished with a bike you end the transaction by engaging the manual lock. The lock design allows for two types of locking. The first immobilizes the bike by locking the back wheel and the second immobilizes the bike while also securing it to a rack or pole.
Once the lock is engaged, the lock box sends a message to the server to update the bike’s status.
Not finished?Press the Hold Button before engaging the lock and the bike will be unavailable to others for up to 10 minutes. Hurry back, the hold time is added to your total transaction time.
Bicycle Broken?Hit the Repair Button before engaging the lock and an alert will be sent to the system.

The mounting clamp swings open and attaches around the seat tube. Nearly all seat tubes are the same diameter, making it the ideal mounting location.
A rubber gasket on the mounting clamp ensures a secure seal.
The lock body closes around the mounting clamp.
The body is locked into place, preventing the mounting clamp from opening and the box from being removed.
A support post extends from the hub to the back of the lock. The wire from the hub dynamo runs through the support post and into the lock box.
Lock InstallationThe lock can be attached to nearly any bicycle. It attaches to the bike frame securely with two parts and does not require welding.

Bicycle StorageBycykel Mobil bikes are free to roam the city but they can also be found in regional hubs. A minimum of 10 bikes can be found at each hub and they are restocked according to demand. Bicycles are redistributed between hubs by an electric assist industrial tricycle and trailer. The regional hub system eliminates the need for centralized warehouse space and tricycle transport replaces fossil fuel burning trucks.
These modular structures can be installed on-street in parking spaces, along parks, or in public plazas. Arcing bike racks form the skeleton of the structure with 20 to 30 bikes stored along the walls. The facilities are built from certified recycled steel and wall cladding is a combination of polycarbonate and perforated aluminum panels.
Hubs provide work space for Bycykel Mobil staff to service bikes and have an attached kiosk to register new customers. Photovoltaic cells on the roof provide power for charging lock box batteries, operating tools, and running he kiosk. Overhead sectional doors can be closed at night so that equipment can be secured.
