Interior
Modularity
The Weelo HUB is a modular bike parking system that is easy to assemble and can be adapted to various spaces.
It consists of square modules measuring 5750×5850 mm, which can be combined in different configurations: linear, multiple rows, L-shaped, or cross-shaped.
The modules connect to each other with a simple system of counter and crosspieces, allowing for flexibility and future expansion.
The bike racks are arranged in a repeating pattern of 10-place modules on two levels.
The entire structure is designed for disassembly and reuse. After removing the glass panels, roof, and door, all bolts can be removed, including those for ground fixing, allowing the disassembled structure to be stored for future use.
Materials
The main structure is made of galvanized tubular steel profiles with brackets and flanges made of pre-drilled laser-cut steel sheet.
The infill panels have generously sized slots at the top to allow the necessary air circulation inside the structure, thanks also to the spaces between the panels.
The infills can be of tempered and laminated glass plates or in full or perforated/expanded steel plates, therefore allowing three different types of closures.
The roofing is with double pitch, made of sandwich panels and resting on the metal frame; the pitch slope is completely concealed by the section of the support beams and is therefore invisible to the eye.
The drainpipes for the drainage of rainwater, that is channelled by an eavestrough system put on the roofing, are inside the abutments.
The structure is accessed by an automatic sliding door equipped with a redundant engine and accumulators adequately sized to allow functioning also in case of power failure.
The door, of course, is also certified as emergency exit, in compliance with UNI EN 16005 regulations.
The access door too is made of glass, with painted aluminium frame.
Style and Customized Graphics
The Weelo HUB bicycle parking station is completely customizable according to any dedicated corporate identity projects. A system of horizontal and vertical signage inside the structure gives users directions about the main functions and the places where to park their bicycles.
Accessibility
Weelo app
Weelo APP has been conceived with the aim of making the bike parking structures of our network easily available in a very intuitive way.
After registering and buying the service with their credit card, users can access the bike places directly with their smartphones, by simply scanning a QR code.
Easiness is the first goal: our continuous surveys help us to keep users’ experience updated, intuitive and in line with the registered needs.
