Electric bike charging station
An electric bike charging station is a set of 230 V sockets in one place, with access control from an app or a QR code and protection built into the unit. Riders plug in the charger that came with their bike. ChargeGo makes three such units: the wall-mounted Box for garages and bike rooms, the solar Pole for two bikes and the Shelter with solar panels, which covers up to ten bikes.
Box, Pole or Shelter
The site decides. Inside a building the Box goes on the wall, because the power is already there. Outdoors, with no grid connection, the Pole or the Shelter does the job, and the choice between them comes down to the number of bikes and whether they need a roof.

Three units
Where are the bikes kept, inside or outside?
The app, the QR code and the admin panel are the same in all three. Mounting, power supply, number of charging points and price differ.
ChargeGo Shelter
A freestanding structure with rooftop solar and a battery. It runs with no grid connection: in a car park, in front of a hotel, on a housing estate or along a bike trail.
- 10 charging points (open), or a lockable Shelter with doors, locks and 3 or 6 charging points
- 1.74–3.48 kWp solar + LFP battery, 24/7 off-grid operation
- From €18,500 excl. VAT
ChargeGo Box
A wall-mounted station for an underground garage, bike room or hall. No structure or foundation to build; the unit mounts on an existing building's wall, typically without a building permit or notification.
- 8 charging points powered from a single 230 V / 16 A circuit
- IP44 sockets with covers, energy metering on every charging point
- Started from the mobile app, or optionally a PIN code or RFID card
ChargeGo Pole
A free-standing solar station 2.8 m tall, anchored to a foundation. Panel on the mast, battery in the body, sockets on the door face. It goes beside a cycle path, on a square or out on a route, where there is nothing to dig up.
- Two 230 V sockets and four USB ports, up to 300 W per charging point
- 600 Wp bifacial panel and 1 kWh LiFePO₄ battery, runs with no grid connection
- Service version with tools and a compressor rated to 8 bar
What an electric bike charging station is
An electric bike charging station is infrastructure for charging the batteries of electric bikes (e-bikes), electric scooters and other micromobility devices, built for multiple users. An individual bike charger is an accessory bought for one specific battery; a station gives you several 230 V sockets in one place, with power metering on every charging point, access control and protection suited to that use.
Those four things (sockets, metering, access and protection) set a station apart from an ordinary socket. The rest follows from where it is mounted. Indoors the power is already there, so the wall-mounted ChargeGo Box runs 8 charging points from a single 230 V / 16 A circuit. Outdoors there is often no grid connection, or running one costs more than the unit. There the Shelter brings its own solar panels and battery and keeps the rain off the bikes, or the ChargeGo Pole solar charging station does the job where two charging points without a roof are enough.
What makes up a ChargeGo station
The Box and the Shelter both have the first four. The last three belong to the Shelter, because indoors the power is already run in and the Box uses the existing installation.
ChargeGo Box or Shelter, parameter by parameter
Both versions solve the same problem: charging several electric bikes in one place, under control. Below is what sets them apart, from mounting to price.
| Parameter | ChargeGo BoxInside a building | ChargeGo ShelterOutdoors |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Inside a building: an underground garage, a bike room, a hall. Mounted on the wall. | Outdoors: a freestanding structure in a car park, in front of a building, or along a route. |
| Charging points | 8 charging points. | 10 charging points in the open version. The lockable Shelter with doors and locks: 3 or 6. |
| Power supply | A single 230 V / 16 A circuit, existing or run in by us. | Solar panels and a battery, running off-grid or hybrid with the grid. |
| Draw limit | A 2 A (about 460 W) limit per charging point, enforced electronically. Exceeding it disconnects that one charging point and flags it in the app; the rest keep charging. | Current metering on every socket; exceeding the set threshold disconnects that charging point. The inverter caps the combined draw of all charging points at 3,000 VA. |
| Solar and battery | None. The Box runs off the building's installation. | 1.74–3.48 kWp of solar, an LFP battery of ~1.8–6 kWh, operates from −20 °C to +45 °C (BMS-controlled heating). |
| Protection | A full set inside the unit's enclosure: a main disconnect, RCD and overcurrent protection, a surge arrester, an emergency stop. An electrician determines the scope of work on the building's own installation after a site visit. | A distribution board built into the Shelter's structure, current metering on every socket. |
| Permits | As a rule, needs no building permit or notification. Exceptions: heritage-listed buildings, conservation protection zones, and cases involving rework of the electrical installation. Confirm those with your local authority. | A building structure on the plot, usually just a notification. The exact requirement depends on the plot and the local zoning plan. |
| Access and app | Shared by both versions: a mobile app, a QR code at each charging point, an admin panel in Polish and English, session history, local operation if the connection drops. | Shared by both versions: the same app, the same panel and the same session history. |
| Power metering | An energy meter on every charging point. Serves reporting and limits. | Current metering on every socket. Serves reporting and limits. |
| Dimensions | 770 × 450 × 160 mm, white as standard (RAL optional). | 6.4 × 3.2 × 2.7 m, about 20 m² footprint. |
| Price excl. VAT | From €3,450 for the unit, including software, the panel and the app, with no subscription and no time limit. Installation is quoted separately at €420 and commissioning with training at €350. Delivery in 8 weeks. | From €18,500 (open, 10 charging points). The lockable shelter with 3 charging points is €23,500, with 6 charging points €32,500. |
| Installations | The unit, app and panel are available to see at our workshop in Dąbrowa Górnicza. We build the electronics and software ourselves. | Hotel Ostaniec, running since May 2026: 8 charging points, about 3 kWp of solar, about 5 kWh of battery. A pre-production variant, outside the current product line. |
Shelter warranty: 10 years on the structure, 25 years on the solar panels (≥ 80% output), 5 years on the LFP battery for ≥ 80% capacity (4,000+ cycles), 2 years on the electronics. For the ChargeGo Box, an extended 7-year warranty is available for €470 excl. VAT.
How a station differs from a charger, a socket or a plain rack
A bike charger, an extension cord in whatever socket is handy, and a rack with no charging each solve part of the problem. What a managed installation adds is a dedicated circuit, per-charging point power metering and access control.
Uses for an electric bike charging station
Each segment page has pricing, material to support the buying decision, and which version fits that type of property.
The question usually comes from a plant or office building where employees started commuting by bike. A company station serves a known, closed group, so tracking usage matters more than taking payment from an occasional visitor.
Bikes kept in an underground garage, a bike room or a hall call for the wall-mounted charging station for a garage, which fits eight charging points on a single 230 V / 16 A circuit. Bikes parked outdoors with no grid connection nearby call for the solar bike shelter.
Charging electric scooters from the same station
An electric scooter has a 230 V charger, just like a bike. From the station's point of view they're the same: the same socket, the same current limit per charging point, the same usage metering. Both ChargeGo lines handle either with no change to the configuration.
This matters in two places. In a residential building, scooters can outnumber bikes and more often end up in the stairwell. At a workplace, the question is where an employee leaves a scooter during a shift, and whether charging it at a desk is allowed.
One designated spot covers both cases, because the equipment doesn't distinguish what's plugged into the socket.
So the same station handles bikes and scooters, and the number of charging points follows from the number of vehicles.
Two different things called by the same name
A map of places to charge
Looking for somewhere to top up a bike on a route or in a city means looking for a map of public stations.
A unit to buy and install
Building a charging point on a property you manage is our part. We manufacture the stations that hotels, owners' associations, office buildings and plants install on their own site.
Where we install
We deliver, install and commission across Poland. The quote sets a site visit and an installation date, and if the site has no power run to it we quote that work too.

ChargeGo Box options
The station is complete without any of them: it charges, measures usage and recognises the user. The modules below are added when a site needs them, each at its own price.
Remote management from off-site: browser dashboard, session history, reports, fault notifications and remote updates. Without it the station keeps working locally.
Usage tracking per user and per tenant, billing reports, export to accounting.
An alarm control panel built into the station housing and a smoke detector in the charging room. Smoke triggers the alarm. Works locally, without internet.
An extra credential alongside the app and PIN code. You deactivate a lost card in the panel.
Controls entry to the bike room: electric strike or magnetic lock, reader and door contact. Priced after we have surveyed the site.
Add-on prices are per station, not per property. Hazard monitoring is an alarm control panel with a smoke detector in the charging room. Full pricing and configurator.
