Solarcycle UK Expands to Europe with Launch of Solarcycle Iberia in Spain

Solarcycle UK proudly announces the high momentum launch of Solarcycle Iberia, marking a significant stride in sustainable transportation infrastructure. 

With five of its cutting-edge ‘solar-in-a-box’ e-bike charging systems already operational across Spain, Solarcycle Iberia aims to cater to the burgeoning demand for workplace and community e-bike charging solutions in Spain and beyond.

The establishment of Solarcycle Iberia comes at a pivotal moment as organisations, municipalities, and building contractors in Spain prepare for forthcoming legislation on sustainable travel and green energy initiatives. Similar trends are being observed across Europe, underscoring a substantial opportunity for Solarcycle’s innovative off-grid e-bike charging solutions.

Solarcycle Iberia’s inaugural installations include the deployment of safe and reliable e-bike charging along the dedicated cycling route between the villages of Arcentales, Karrantza, and Trucios, near Bilbao. Subsequent installations include a new charging totem and bicycle parking in the picturesque town of Sestao to support the Municipality’s purchase of 8 e-bikes, promoting the local tourist route.

A further sleek Solarcycle e-bike charging totem can be found outside Artaxanda Sports Centre in Bilbao, providing free 100% renewable energy e-bike charging for customers. Each installation and case study serves as a testament to Solarcycle’s commitment to providing accessible, efficient, and sustainable e-bike charging infrastructure.

Developed by cyclists for cyclists, Solarcycle is the first company to offer an off-grid, ‘solar-in-a-box’ EV charging solution. As a licensed partner, Solarcycle Iberia handles all manufacturing locally, supported by Solarcycle UK who provide marketing, exhibition, and sales collateral, as well as the product roadmap. Under the new license, Solarcycle Iberia are provided with a comprehensive bill of materials, illustrated assembly guide, supply chain agreements, and system diagram wiring guide.

“This is a unique e-bike charging solution for Spain and Europe. The charging totem is a fantastic design, coupled with the ease of installation that does not require any groundwork.”.

Sergio Dominguez, Co-Founder of Solarcycle Iberia, expresses enthusiasm about the partnership, stating: “It’s terrific that Paul gave us the opportunity to participate in Solarcycle. This is a unique e-bike charging solution for Spain and Europe. The charging totem is a fantastic design, coupled with the ease of installation that does not require any groundwork. Paul went out of his way to help us in setting us up, providing us with marketing, product, and technical support to have us up and running being able to service our first new customers.”

“The licensing model is scalable, and we are actively looking for partners in the rest of the world who are looking for an award-winning product with a strong roadmap to help them decarbonise transport in other regions.”.

Paul Stratford, Founder of Solarcycle UK, shares his excitement about the collaboration, affirming: “I am delighted about this new license partnership with Solarcycle Iberia to make our ‘solar-in-a-box’ e-bike charging stations available in Spain and Europe. To help Sergio and Fernando hit the ground running, we visited them in Spain and provided product training, site visits and installation advice. We also gather data from the units and will supply over the air updates remotely via our app. The licensing model is scalable, and we are actively looking for partners in the rest of the world who are looking for an award-winning product with a strong roadmap to help them decarbonise transport in other regions.”

Solarcycle’s smart modular solar charging stations can be tailored to any situation and scale. With a unique Reporting Function, measuring the kWh of free-to-use, 100% renewable solar energy dispensed, organisations can track their progress towards their sustainability goals and demonstrably measure their carbon impact. Solarcycle is the only off-grid solar e-bike charging system to offer this feature, making it a standout product in the market.

Quick to install and with no need for groundworks and mains connection, these solar powered e-bike charge points are up and running in just one day. The system captures sunlight via flexible PV panels and converts this renewable energy into electrical current for e-bike charging on the SolarPoint totems, with each totem configured to charge up to two bikes simultaneously. Solarcycle is designed to provide an environmentally and financially sustainable transport solution to support the transition to carbonless commuting.

Pricing includes custom branding, secure shelters, managed support, and e-bikes if required and starts as low as £7,995. Pilot and leasing schemes are also available. Combining the latest technology, Solarcycle makes charging electric bikes with clean, renewable energy easy and affordable. For more information contact info@solarcycle.uk.
