KNOT V6 station for bikes and scooters is an elegant sharing station for both, public and private usage.

It’s a perfect model for cities to organize hybrids fleets with scooters and bikes.

FEATURES

CHARGING

— Our intelligent charging system sets the charging speed automatically, depending on the number of vehicles at the station.
— The charger automatically adapts its strategy according to the battery voltage, charge rate and temperature.

IDENTIFICATION

— When the sleeve of the vehicle is inserted into the box on the station, the station identifies the vehicle automatically.
— Identification registers the end of the ride and verifies that the vehicle belongs to the network.

LOCKING

— Vehicle is locked even there is no cellular or electrical connection
— Scooters and bikes remain locked until the battery level reaches the minimum level configured by the operator

UNLOCKING

— A user unlocks the vehicle with a dedicated mobile app or with an RFID badge scanned directly on the badge reader, if applicable.
— An operator can also unlock via a web interface or mechanically.

CONNECTIVITY

— Stations are connected to the cellular network (GPRS, NB-IoT or LTE-M) via a communication module equipped with an industrial grade multi-operator SIM card.
— KNOT teams send OTA (over-the-air) updates to the station for all new functionalities

ALERTS

— The alert sound indicates vehicle unlocking, end of trip or errors. Sound can be calibrated
— Light alerts indicate the different vehicle statuses.

HYBRIDIZATION

— Compatible with both bikes and scooters
— Combine free floating and dock based system

PREVENTION

— Short circuit protection
— Passive ventilation system to protect electronics heat
— Temperature ranges - real conditions: - 20°C to + 55°C.
— From 40°C, the software protection system activates a charge retarder to protect chargers and the entire electronic system.
