The New Trend: Sustainable Mobility and E-Bikes in Tourism
Since 2018, e-bikes have proven to be a new and increasingly appreciated way to enjoy relaxing holidays. Cycle tourism — already a well-established trend in Europe and rapidly growing in Italy — represents a new way to experience travel on two wheels, supported by the growing popularity of electric mobility.
The data speaks clearly: while around 148,000 e-bikes were sold in Italy in 2017 (a 19% increase compared to the previous year), sales reached 173,000 units in 2018. A trend that continues to grow year after year.
As a result, cycle tourism is gradually evolving, with electric bicycles becoming increasingly common. This reflects a broader shift toward tourism that is not only sustainable but also practical and smart. On one hand, more people are purchasing e-bikes; on the other, there is a growing need for facilities and accessories designed to meet these new demands.
Accommodation facilities — hotels, restaurants, B&Bs, and campsites — must remain competitive by welcoming guests in the best possible way and adapting their spaces and services to the evolving ways people travel and spend their holidays.
To meet the needs of modern e-bike tourists, accommodation facilities should provide not only dedicated routes and experiences, but also suitable spaces and accessories designed for the contemporary cycle tourist.
The must-have? A charging station for electric bikes.
The Electric Bike Rack with Charging Socket: A Functional and Safe Solution
Electric bicycles are a convenient, eco-friendly, and fast way to move around, as well as an enjoyable means of transport during holidays for exploring landscapes without giving up the comfort of pedal assistance. Cyclists who choose e-bikes expect to use them easily during their stay. For this reason, it is essential to provide a charging solution that is simple to use and safe for the bicycle.
Andrys offers hotel owners and enthusiasts of electric mobility and sustainable tourism a durable and functional model of e-bike rack with five charging stations.
This is not a standard bike rack — let’s see what makes it unique.
Why Choose the Andrys Electric Bike Rack?
Here are the three main strengths of the Andrys e-bike rack.
CHARGING FUNCTION
The bike rack includes dedicated charging sockets for electric bicycles, allowing guests to recharge their e-bikes during stops. The five parking spaces accommodate all types of bikes — from mountain bikes and city bikes to electric bikes — thanks to the high-low parking system.
SECURITY
The rack is designed to guarantee safe parking. It includes a security system that allows locks to be attached directly to the bike frame rather than the wheel, significantly reducing the risk of theft. The structure is also sturdy and durable, with the option for ground fixing.
CUSTOMIZATION The galvanized steel structure is perfect for outdoor installation. It also features a PVC panel that can be customized with messages, colors, and the facility’s logo, making it easily recognizable.
Memorable details for impeccable service!
Bike racks with integrated charging for electric bicycles represent a true innovation in electric mobility: they allow users to recharge their e-bike batteries safely and conveniently.
