ParkMyBike with iLOQ: Exploring a possible integration

At ParkMyBike, we’re constantly looking for ways to make bike parking easier and smarter. One idea we’re exploring is integrating iLOQ, a smart locking solution that uses NFC, into our system. And we’re inviting you to share your thoughts and help us shape a solution that works for everyone.

What is iLOQ?

iLOQ is an innovative electric lock that opens using NFC on your smartphone. It draws the small amount of energy it needs directly from your device, which means no batteries or wiring are required. This makes the system flexible, low maintenance, and environmentally friendly.

How ParkMyBike will work with NFC

By using NFC, bike parking with ParkMyBike will be even more easy and intuitive.

Benefits of ParkMyBike with NFC

NFC brings several benefits for both cyclists and providers of bike parking:

  • No batteries needed: Locks using NFC, like iLOQ, draw power from the phone itself, so no batteries or electrical wiring are required. This makes installation simple and more flexible.
  • No maintenance: Since NFC locks require no batteries or power supply, they will reduce maintenance costs and ensures long-term reliability.
  • For all types of parking: Without the need for power, NFC locks can be installed almost anywhere and remains reliable in all weather conditions.
  • A green choice: NFC locks reduce ongoing energy use and waste by drawing energy from the phone, making it a more environmentally friendly solution.

We’re excited about the possibilities iLOQ could bring to ParkMyBike. However, before we integrate iLOQ into our system, we would love to hear your thoughts! Together, we can create a solution that truly works for everyone.
