As a society we need to have an eye out for urbanization trends that could make a vital difference when we need to reduce the individual citizen’s CO2 emissions. Our choice of transportation for work, school, and leisure activities, are or could be a part of our personal contribution to the green transition. For the majority of society this is an actual issue, as most people use a form of transportation every day. Choosing the bike makes sense in many aspects. But what does it take to make bikes, scooters or other micro mobile vehicles the first choice?
At e-STANDS we believe that a safe parking spot has an enormous impact on the individual’s decision about whether the bike or the car leaves the driveway.
Every kilometer ridden by bike rather than by car saves DKK 7.
Several Danish studies state a savings rate on approximately DKK 7 for society in environmental- and health costs for each kilometer ridden by bike instead of by car.
Cities globally battle the continuous load from the many cars and the negative consequences for the environment and health which follows. It is necessary to do something about this issue. Many cities are planning to create car free zones with the use of bikes, scooters, or public transport instead.
Micro mobility therefore solves several problems at the same time: Climate, environment, hardship and health. Bikes, scooters with and without batteries etc. will have a much more dominant role in the future and should of course be parked under proper conditions.
It must be both attractive and safe to ride your bike on an everyday basis. We believe that our micro mobility parking system can contribute to this fact.
At e-STANDS we strive towards becoming the preferred micro mobility parking system in Europe. That is our mission. This supports our vision, which is to boost the enthusiasm for micro mobility of the citizens, and thereby get the population on their bikes. The vision of e-STANDS supports the work with especially two of the UN’s Global Goals:
60% of the adult population have well above 8 hours of daily sedentary activities.
WHO recommends 30 minutes of physical activity a day. 29% of the adult population do not meet the minimum recommendation for physical activity.
The recommended amount of daily physical activity corresponds to 3 km by bike each way, to and from the workplace. Regular physical activity - cycling – increases a good health and a longer life, as well as reducing the risk of a broad variety of diseases: Cardiovascullar diseases, increased blood pressure, blood clots, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, breast- and colon cancer, depression and dementia.
e-STANDS wish to contribute to an increased commitment to everyday cycling.
By means of our patented electronical locking mechanism, we assure the security of their bikes with an easy and secure lock and makes their everyday life easier as a cyclist, with optional charging of batteries to e-bikes as well as storage of their helmet. With an assurement of the bike still being there when the user returns, we believe you’re more prone to use your bike more on a daily basis.
It is stated on globalgoals.org that “more than half of the world’s population currently lives in city areas. By 2050, this number will have increased to 6.5 billion people – corresponding to two thirds of the world’s population. Sustainable development can’t be obtained if we don’t change the way we build and control our city environment.”
According to the EEA's Air quality in Europe - 2016 report, the toxic gas nitrogen dioxide - released by vehicles and central heating boilers - has an impact equivalent to 71,000 premature deaths a year.
e-STANDS wish to contribute to the endeavors of pursuing a greener environment in the cities, by enticing citizens to get on their bikes.
By means of our patented electronical locking mechanism, we assure the security of their bikes with an easy and secure lock and makes their everyday life easier as a cyclist, with optional charging of batteries to e-bikes as well as storage of their helmet.
