What bike-energy does

bike-energy, the trading brand of Austria-based Stranger Solution GmbH, designs, manufactures, and sells e-bike charging infrastructure and complementary products for tourism, municipal, hospitality, commercial, and residential deployments. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Altenmarkt im Pongau (Salzburg), the company offers a modular charging station portfolio (POINT, LINE, TOWER, and the two-bike P2B unit) compatible with more than 25 e-bike charging interfaces, OEM integration units (ibench and streetlight charging modules), secure parking facilities (Charger Cube, Movebloc), and service products (bike wash and repair stations). Underlying the hardware is the bike-energy CONNECT software platform, which provides remote monitoring, over-the-air updates, and data analytics for station operators, and a companion mobile app for locating stations and managing charging sessions.

The company monetizes primarily through one-time hardware sales via its direct e-commerce shop (shipping to the EU and Switzerland) and a distribution partner network targeting B2B customers in tourism regions, municipalities, gastronomy, and commercial segments, with a secondary recurring revenue stream from CONNECT subscriptions and software services. Customer evidence is concentrated in the DACH region and includes the municipality of Bischofshofen, SMB hospitality operators, and a corporate deployment at Bosch's Hallein location. In October 2025, Stranger Solution GmbH acquired 100% of the business including all patents, trademarks, and distribution rights, consolidating ownership under a founder-controlled Austrian GmbH with Rupert Stranger and Sebastian Stranger as managing directors. The company claims more than 3,000 stations and 10,000+ charging points installed across 19 countries, with over 5 million cumulative charging operations and 4.5 GWh delivered.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Webasto: Webasto is an automotive supplier that has expanded into EV charging stations (Webasto Charging Solutions) with modular hardware and connected services. Comparable as a broader incumbent in charging infrastructure with overlapping modular-station design and OEM-style integration capabilities, though rooted in auto-EV rather than micromobility.
• Allego: Allego operates a pan-European public EV charging network with proprietary hardware and SaaS platforms. Comparable as a broader incumbent competing for European municipal and tourism-amenity charging deployments, overlapping most clearly with bike-energy's Cities & Municipalities customer segment.
• ChargePoint: ChargePoint is the largest networked EV charging provider globally with a SaaS-led model across hardware, software, and services. Broader incumbent in EV charging infrastructure with overlapping SaaS/connected-services capabilities, but focused on automotive EVs rather than micromobility.
• Specialized: Specialized is a major bicycle manufacturer offering its own e-bike charging ecosystem (Turbo e-bikes with companion app). Comparable because it serves overlapping customer segments (cycling enthusiasts, tourism, commuters) and operates its own connected charging experience, though it is a bike OEM rather than a standalone infrastructure retailer.
• EVBox: EVBox is a European EV charging hardware and software provider serving commercial and public charging use cases. Comparable as a regional peer because it competes for similar B2B/municipal customers and offers modular charging stations with connected software, though at much larger scale and on auto-EV systems.
• Stromer: Stromer is a premium Swiss speed-pedelec manufacturer that integrates its own connected charging and battery ecosystem into its bikes. Overlaps with bike-energy in DACH-region micromobility charging, including smart connectivity features, but operates as a vertically integrated bike OEM rather than a standalone infrastructure provider.
• Shimano: Shimano supplies e-bike components (STEPS system) and partners in the broader e-bike charging ecosystem. Comparable as a broader incumbent because it participates in the same e-bike drivetrain/charging supplier market even though core competency is drivetrain components rather than charging infrastructure.

Emerging players

• Wallbox: Wallbox designs and manufactures smart EV chargers with connected software for residential and commercial use. Comparable as an emerging player because it overlaps on connected-charger hardware + software business model and serves prosumer/business customers, though primarily in auto-EV rather than micromobility.

Direct peers

• Bosch eBike Systems: Bosch eBike Systems is the dominant supplier of e-bike drive systems and offers its own e-bike charging solutions and connected services. Directly comparable because both compete in e-bike charging infrastructure with comparable OEM integration capabilities; Bosch is also a disclosed bike-energy enterprise customer (Hallein location).
• Yamaha eBike Systems: Yamaha Power Assist Bicycles offers e-bike drive systems and integrated charging solutions through OEM channels. Comparable as a peer because both sell proprietary e-bike charging infrastructure directly to OEMs and end customers within the broader micromobility/e-bike ecosystem.
