Bike-share station in Mexico City (Mexico)

The roll-out of the stations Bike-sharing stations (BSS) à Mexico City, in Mexico, is one of the most iconic examples of NOVAL’s expertise on the international stage. Between 2010 and 2022, this major infrastructure project saw the commissioning of 4,594 bicycles spread across 460 stations, demonstrating the company’s ability to provide sustainable infrastructure for the world’s largest megacities.

Building on the solution SMART-BIKE, this network offers next-generation technology designed to transform the bike-sharing experience thanks to a number of key advantages:

• Intelligence and connectivity : The stations incorporate a control column with 10.4-inch LCD screen and a RFID reader for season tickets. Management is optimised through real-time communication via a 4G/GSM modem, enabling the fleet’s status to be transmitted to the management centre.
• High security : To address the challenges of the public space, the system is equipped with a device vandal-proof robust, including a individual mechanical locking mechanism bicycles.
• Agile deployment : The use of a lightweight infrastructure and a self-supporting platform enables precise adaptation to road conditions, facilitating deployment without the need for major civil engineering works.
• User ergonomics : The system includes charge indicator lights, enabling cyclists to immediately see whether bikes are available and what condition they are in.

This success in Mexico City perfectly illustrates the value of the SMART-BIKE solution, designed and manufactured in France. It provides a solution cost-effective and high-performing to boost active mobility, whilst drawing on world-renowned industrial expertise from leading mobility providers.
