e-Bike Charging stations
Making you e-bike ride smoother
Smoking posts in Dutch train stations are making way for e-bike charging
stations.
All stations in the Netherlands became completely smoke-free after the
sale of tobacco products in train stations ended in April.
“We want people to travel sustainably from door to door. Not only by
train, but for example by bicycle to the station,” said Willem van Ewijk
of ProRail. “By converting smoking posts into charging stations, we can
ensure that more people take the electric bike.”
The posts were designed by Lightwell, an Amsterdam-based company, and
presented during the Dutch Design Week, which ran from 17 to 25 October.
In future stages, this solution will also include charging points outside the rail system.
