Bicycles

SmartBikes are especially designed for frequent use, by different users and under varied conditions. The bikes are typically used between 10 to 15 times a day. With an average bike ride of 20 minutes, that culminates to over 4 hours of continuous use per day. It is clear that a public bike has different requirements than a private one. The bike needs to be strong and has to be able to tolerate some rough handling and at the same time it should be easy maneuverable and light for the user: SmartBikes weigh 16.5 kg. As the bikes are stationed outside, they also need to be weather resistant. But most importantly they need to be safe and comfortable.
