Deployment of 5 ALTAO Cover + ALTAO Pod secure bicycle boxes in Hamburg
- 4 box vélo sécurisé ALTAO® Cover
- 1 box vélo sécurisé ALTAO® Pod
Altinnova is continuing its commitment to active mobility and safety for cyclists with the deployment of secure bicycle boxes in Hamburg.
We have recently installed 4 ALTAO® Cover secure bike boxes and 1 ALTAO® Pod secure bike shelter on trial in the German city of Hamburg. These products are distinguished by their self-supporting design, which is why they offer unrivalled flexibility, allowing them to be easily moved according to users’ needs and feedback.

Deployment of 5 secure bicycle boxes in Hamburg for Altinnova’s flagship products
Altinnova implements innovative solutions that are perfectly suited to the requirements of local authorities, businesses and condominiums when it comes to secure bicycle shelters:

- ALTAO® Pod secure bike box: This flagship product features a robust, urban design, ideal for installations requiring flexibility or upgradability. Its ease of transport means it can be set up quickly and adapted to different urban contexts.
- It also protects your bike from the elements. It’s also a real convenience when you live in a city centre with no place to store your two-wheeler. A bike inflator is also built in, so cyclists can keep their bikes well inflated.
- Self-sufficient in energy, it blends in seamlessly with your environment. It is part of an experimental approach that allows us to gather feedback directly from users.
- What’s more, depending on requirements, they can be perfectly integrated into the spacing of a car parking space. Allowing urban parking to be decarbonised!
- ALTAO® Cover secure bicycle box: offers optimum protection against the elements while enhancing bicycle safety. Its meticulous design, combined with contemporary aesthetics, also blends harmoniously into various urban environments.
- One of the main advantages of these products is their ability to be easily repositioned. This flexibility is particularly appreciated by operators of mobility networks and managers ofbicycle shelters. It allows them to adapt quickly to changes in user behaviour, thereby improving the effectiveness of the proposed solution.

Innovative experiment with a German operator
The deployment of our ALTAO® Pod and ALTAO® Cover enclosed cycle garages in Hamburg is part of a two-phasetrial. The first phase, which has just been completed, enabled the local operator to test the facilities with users. Thanks to their self-supporting nature, our products could be moved and adapted according to the feedback received on the ground.

Flexibility and feedback
This trial phase demonstrated the relevance of our solutions in meeting the real needs of cyclists. Users appreciated the ease of access and security offered by these facilities, validating the robustness and effectiveness of the ALTAO® Pod secure bike lockers and theALTAO® Cover. Moreover, the positive feedback from this trial is a guarantee of quality for future installations in other European cities.
On-site support for the deployment of 5 secure bicycle boxes in Hamburg
The close collaboration with the operator has enabled us to learn valuable lessons about optimising secure bicycle shelters in an urban environment. This reinforces our position as a leader in the soft mobility solutions sector.
In parallel with the trial, Altinnova supported the operator by providing technical and operational expertise. This support was essential to ensure successful implementation and to adapt the installations in real time to the conditions of use.

Successful partnership with Diwio to operate secure bicycle parking facilities
For the trial phase, we also integrated the operating tools provided by our partner Diwio. This solution enables us to centralise and optimise the operational management of our secure cycle parks.
High-performance management tools: Diwio Key® and Diwio backoffice

The use of the Diwio backoffice has enabled the operator to monitor theoperation of the facilities in real time. These tools add an essential technological dimension to the management and analysis of data relating to the use of cycle shelters.
The synergy between Altinnova’ s hardware solutions and Diwio Key® operating and access control tools has made it possible to accompany the experimentation phase with a full-scale test for the operating part. This means we can take better account of user feedback and respond effectively to requirements in the field.
Conclusion on the experiment and future prospects

The trial in Hamburg demonstrated that the combination of our ALTAO® Pod and ALTAO® Cover secure bicycle boxes with Diwio tools offers a complete and innovative solution for theoperation of bicycle shelters. This successful partnership confirms our ability to meet the current challenges of urban mobility. On the strength of this success, we are convinced that new installations will be planned in the near future. This will enable even more local authorities, businesses and condominiums to benefit from our secure, modular solutions.
Completion of the deployment of 5 ALTAO Cover + ALTAO Pod secure bicycle boxes on trial in Hamburg
In conclusion, the trial in Hamburg has been a resounding success. The positive feedback from users and the synergy with our partners testify to the effectiveness and innovation of our products. Altinnova continues to demonstrate its commitment to soft and sustainable mobility and the safety of cyclists, and we look forward to deploying more ALTAO® Pod andALTAO® Cover bike shelters in new locations. The future of cycle shelter management looks bright thanks to these forward-thinking solutions and fruitful collaborations, such as the one with Diwio.
