How the D4 fits into a typical parking lot, side-by-side. - 02
In our experience, a bike share system will need one D4 for every 20 - 30 bikes. We do in-house modeling with advanced software and proprietary tools to make sure your fleet keeps running without a hitch.
A detailed analysis includes:
- Weather
- Latitude
- Operation seasons
- Equipment
- Pedal vs ebike mix
- Siting
- Ridership
- System size

Yes. The Skyhook is designed for city streets! The butterfly shaped bifacial solar canopy allows for maximum power in any orientation.
Rest assured with a small 6' x 3' footprint, the Skyhook fits in the pedestrian right of way next to a typical bikeshare dock.
All models fit in parking lots (between spaces) without any loss of parking space.
The base is made specifically to be delivered by drop-deck flat-bed trailer and deployed using a pallet jack or forklift.
- 04
The Skyhook provides AC power (like a typical wall-outlet) via a conduit that runs underneath the unit. We connect this to the e-bike kiosk or battery charging system. We have a lot of experience getting systems up and running and we can adapt to the needs of your equipment. We offer a full service ship, deploy, and installation package. Our technician will handle everything from start to finish and work with your operations team to ensure a seamless integration. Please let us know if you would be interested in this option when purchasing a Solar Station.
