Christiania Bikes partners with Comodule to bring smart connectivity to their iconic cargo bikes
Christiania Bikes, a true pioneer in sustainable cargo bike manufacturing since the 1972, is enhancing their iconic e-bikes with connectivity in partnership with Comodule. Known for their durability and functionality, Christiania Bikes has long been a favorite for families and businesses across Europe. Now, with Comodule’s IoT technology, Christiania Bikes is stepping into the digital era, offering riders a smarter, more secure, and user-friendly experience through the Christiania Bikes app.
How connectivity redefines Christiania Bikes
The introduction of Comodule’s IoT technology to Christiania Bikes addresses two major needs for cargo bike users: security and convenience. With the Christiania Bikes app, users can control and monitor their bikes remotely, including essential features like GPS tracking, movement alerts, and bike control. This technology provides real-time tracking and notifications, allowing users to feel confident that their bike is secure, whether parked at home, on the street, or used for business.
Moreover, the app brings a new level of digital convenience to cargo bikes. Through features like Share My Bike, owners can easily share digital access to their bike with friends, family, or coworkers. This is a perfect solution for families or businesses that frequently share a single cargo bike, making it easy to use without the need for physical keys. The Share My Bike feature also allows users to share live location, improving both convenience and security.
The Share My Bike feature enables the bike owner to share and revoke access to their bike anytime, from anywhere.
A significant step towards a connected future
Christiania Bikes is one of the most recognized brands in the cargo bike industry, and their decision to embrace connectivity marks a critical shift for the industry as a whole. As Teet Praks, CEO of Comodule, explains, “The fact that an OG brand like Christiania Bikes is connecting their bikes exemplifies the trend that cycling is becoming a digital experience. Connectivity is the next technological leap for the industry, making bikes smarter, more secure, and future-proof.”
This collaboration reflects the growing industry trend towards digitized mobility. With Comodule’s IoT at its core, Christiania Bikes can now offer a seamless, tech-enabled experience that addresses modern challenges like bike theft and accessibility. It also reinforces the importance of connectivity as a standard in urban mobility, with digital features set to become a common expectation among riders.
Key features that set connected Christiania Bikes apart
The integration of Comodule’s IoT provides Christiania Bikes with a comprehensive set of features, all accessible through one unified app. These include:
GPS tracking and Movement Alerts: Real-time tracking lets riders know the exact location of their bike at all times. Movement alerts notify the user immediately if the bike is tampered with, providing peace of mind when parked outside.
Digital Bike Passport: This secure digital record includes important bike information, such as model and frame number, helping to prove ownership and making insurance claims more straightforward in the event of theft.
Drivetrain immobilizer and Alarm: In locked mode, the bike is automatically immobilized, and an alarm sounds if tampering occurs, further deterring theft.
Bike Control: The user can control bike’s lights, power and assist level via app.
Navigation and Ride tracking: The user has a dashboard view with main ride metrics and a map view for navigation.
Connectivity as a future-proof solution
With connectivity now a standard feature for all new Christiania e-bikes, and retrofit kits available for existing models, Christiania Bikes is ensuring that both new and current riders can benefit from the security and convenience of a connected e-bike. This connectivity upgrade is not only a step forward in security and functionality but also a future-proofing measure, as Comodule continues to release software updates that bring new features and enhancements to the app. This approach ensures that Christiania Bikes remains at the forefront of cycling technology, adapting to new demands and enhancing the user experience.
