Bicycle boxes: Maximum safety and protection for high-quality bicycles

A lockable metal bicycle box represents the safest form of bicycle storage. Unlike open parking facilities, these individual or small garages offer comprehensive protection against theft, vandalism, and the elements. Such storage is particularly practical for high-quality e-bikes, pedelecs, and cargo bikes, as it allows not only the vehicle itself but also sensitive components like batteries and additional equipment (helmets, panniers) to be secured and stored dry.

Protective functions and climatic value retention

The use of bicycle boxes offers significant advantages over conventional chain locks on simple racks. The enclosed design permanently protects the bicycle from rain, snow, and intense UV radiation, preventing wear and tear on mechanical parts and fading of the paint. A key design feature of high-quality boxes is integrated ventilation openings in the side walls or doors. These ensure constant air circulation, minimizing condensation and accelerating the drying of wet bicycles.

Integrated charging infrastructure for e-bikes

To meet the demands of modern electromobility, selected models can be equipped with aintegrated charging deviceThese units are equipped with splash-proof 230V sockets inside, allowing the e-bike battery to be charged directly in the secure box. The technical design includes protected cable routing that meets applicable outdoor safety standards. This feature is particularly advantageous for commuters at company locations or residents of apartment complexes, as the bicycle remains ready for use at all times, eliminating the need to carry the battery separately indoors.

What materials are used?

The durability and reliability of bicycle boxes result from the use of robust metallic materials:

  • Hot-dip galvanized steel:The construction, made of sheet steel which has been hot-dip galvanized according to DIN EN ISO 1461, guarantees decades of corrosion protection and high mechanical resistance to break-in attempts.
  • Powder coating:Many models are additionally coated in RAL colors. This not only serves to adapt the design to the surroundings but also increases the chemical resistance of the surface.
  • Locking mechanisms:For security, robust cylinder locks or devices for building-integrated locking systems are used. This enables controlled access authorization.

Areas of application and target groups

Due to their compact design and high level of protection, bicycle boxes are suitable for a wide variety of locations:

  • Companies and authorities:To provide secure parking facilities for employees and to promote company mobility.
  • Residential complexes and campsites:As a space-saving solution to create order and offer residents a private, secure parking space.
  • Schools and sports facilities:To protect against vandalism in busy public places.
  • Private households:As a garage for personal use when no parking space is available in the building.
