What is bigloo?
bigloo is an automatic, intelligent system of storage, parking and management, which receives and returns the bicycle at street level in less than 10 seconds and which also allows storage of items necessary for the use of the bicycle such as a rucksack, safety helmet, reflective elements, etc.
The best system to provide individual, sustainable, ecological transport.
How it works
"The proccess is super simple, you place your card near the reader, type your code and select the option"
Data sheet
The basic dimensions of the installation are 7.0 m. diameter and a maximum height of 1.90 m. The access space and the level floor of the platform allow bicycles of up to 1.20 m. in height and with handlebars of 90 cm to be parked. The installation includes the supply and assembly of the system, servicing and the necessary elements for its management
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
bigloo includes all the systems required for identification and control during bicycle loading/removal, via radar systems and artificial vision. Software developed with high-level computer languages allows the use of broadband communications to control the history of operations, monitoring and control of images, checking of alarms, modification of data in the memory, the state of the container cells and to perform a series of general tests to check on the state of the installation, remotely and in real time
The user interface is simple and intuitive. It includes graphic monitors, which give permanent information regarding the state of the system and the network. The use of RFID cards facilitates the speed of operations thanks to remote recognition and software developed to forecast the operation to be carried out.
Where and how to place it
Installation is flexible, with multiple resources, adapting to each individual case and opening a range for the designer, to be shown or could be integrated.
Completely finished, with the closing of polyester resin.
It can be covered with a landscaped hill or dome. It would even be possible to create a play area on the roof.
Or simply supply you the machinery and installation for integration into another building.
Parking and rent
The bicycle parking and rental service is set within the framework of new European trends towards enhancing urban mobility, which has been warmly received by citizens and is even helping to change their habits and the means of transport they use.
b-igloo establishes a network system, via “automatic storage” terminals that allow citizens either to collect a rented bicycle to use for a certain time, to deposit one from the same or from another station, or to park their own bicycle. The flexibility of the system, the fact that it is quick to set up or dismantle and remove, guarantee a perfect service that is quite capable of adapting to the needs and requirements of the present and future.
"It is the perfect alternative to private motorised transport and complements public transport systems"
Alternative energy sources
This application is particularly suitable for installations set up at temporary events or locations where the power supply is not guaranteed.
Its large top surface area and the space available in its interior for energy storage devices make it capable of meeting the demands of most of the cases studied.
When the installation is connected to mains electricity we convert the bicycle park into a power station – an ideal option for permanent installations and one which can speed up the amortisation of the system through the sale of the power produced.
Advertising
A new way of getting the message across
The product’s biggest attraction is that it promotes the use of bicycles in a highly innovative, technically advanced way, offering a modern, futuristic approach to the services, in line with 21st century trends and in attraction locations, satisfying the interests of all parties involved
Moreover, it includes features which endeavour to respond to the pressing needs of Government Authorities to find private partners who can supply much-needed funds for development, linking their product to the promotion of a highly-valued means of transport as is the bicycle in terms of sustainable mobility, health and sport.
Media, advertising supports and systems
The advertising value of the system is further enhanced by the media coverage received when new technologies and new systems of individual, sustainable, ecological city transport are introduced.
All this places b-igloo at the forefront of new specialised advertising trends, making it an excellent means for the introduction of brands in geographical areas.

FAQ
Do you have any questions? We are here to help you.
The bigloo is a prefabricated autonomous machine so you can install it in any private space you have, or if it is public, you will only need the mandatory municipal occupancy license.
In the bigloo control panel you will find all the information about the managing company of the network to which it belongs. You can also search information on the bigloo you are interested in the user section of this website.
Rental bikes can be returned automatically by bringing the rear wheel close to the door. You can return the bicycle in less than 4 seconds.
You must call the control center where you will be asked for your registration data and your PIN. Verified the veracity of the provided data, you will be able to retrive your bicycle through the keyboard.
The calculations must be made based on the daily opening period and the expected rotations. As an example, a bigloo in a sports center can offer more than 300 daily services, which means more than 600 user bike trips.
We immediately receive a notification in the control center and the appropriate actions are taken to restore it. The installation has an uninterruptible power supply system that guarantees the completion of any operation. Optionally, it can be equipped with a system that guarantees the number of desired operations without power supply.
The bigloo is designed to receive any type of bicycle, including electric bikes. The system manager determines the most appropriate features for the environment and determines the most interesting provider. The system can also provide bicycles on demand.
The system has the necessary elements and detectors to avoid giving a damaged bike. In any case, you can always change it for another and even inform in the bigloo control panel about the fault detected.
