In the world of rental cargo e-bikes,security,fleet management,and operational efficiency are top priorities.The OC32 Smart Bike Lock,developed by OMNI IoT,offers a turnkey solution combining robust locking hardware,GPS tracking,and IoT connectivity—designed to meet the demands of modern shared mobility.
1. The smart bike lock is engineered for shared bikes.
Crafted from durable materials such as aluminium alloy,the OC32 smart bike lock is engineered fit for bikes,electric bikes,cargo bikes.Today what we share is the use case of cargo bikes.This streamlined process reduces labor,improves uptime,and simplifies user experience.It features a sturdy lock ring approximately 60 mm in diameter,reducing tampering risk.
With IP66/IP67 waterproof ratings,the lock operates reliably in outdoor environments,from rain to dusty streets.
2. It's a IoT technology enabled smart bike lock.
OC32 bike lock is more than just a lock—it's a fully IoT-equipped device.It supports multiple communication standards—2G/4G/LTE/GPRS/NB/CATM1,including Bluetooth(BLE),and can connect to platforms via RFID,QR codes,or direct bike rental APP control.
Powered by either a 6000 mAh(dual)or 8000 mAh battery,the IoT smart bike lock offers standby times of up to 1–2 months at room temperature,enabling continuous remote operation via cellular networks.
3. Core Functions:Unlocking,Tracking,and Alerts(Especially for the Fleet of Rental Bikes)
Unlock methods: via bike rental APP QR‑code scan,RFID card,or remote server command—So you can choose based on different service models.
Real-time tracking: integrated with GPS,GLONASS,Beidou,and Wi-Fi positioning,giving fleet operators and users accurate vehicle location at all times.
Security features: vibration/tilt sensors and anti-theft alarm behaviors trigger alerts when unauthorized movement is detected.
All firmware can be updated via OTA or BLE,enabling continuous improvements without hardware swaps.
4. Why OC32 Smart Bike Lock Matters in Cargo Bike Projects
A. Operational Efficiency
Traditional rental bike systems often require manual collection,battery swapping,and maintenance of low-battery bikes—costing time and manpower.In contrast,OC32 locks paired with dockless or wireless systems automate these workflows.OMNI customers,fleet managers,can monitor bikes remotely,unlock or disable units,and enforce geo-fence policies without sending staff to retrieve or manually swap units.
B. Boosting Usage and Customer Convenience
One major client in Japan expanded from 1,500 to 3,000 rental bikes across dozens of stations using OC32-equipped bikes.The ease of app‑based unlocking and zero‑deposit rentals drove 213%higher usage in peak months—increasing public engagement with shared e-bikes significantly.
C. Enhanced Security Provides Peace of Mind
Real‑time GPS and motion detection in OC32 smart bike lock features reinforce trust among users:theft attempts trigger alarms and operator alerts immediately.As one operator noted,this is especially critical for cargo bikes,which are high‑value and vulnerable to opportunistic theft.
5. Typical Deployment Use Case:Cargo Bike‑Share
Bikes are equipped with OC32 smart bike locks.
Users open the bike rental app,find a nearby bike,scan the QR code or tap their RFID access,and ride.
If they leave for a short errand,the lock remains secure.Any movement while unlocked triggers an alert.
When riding finishes,the user returns the bike to a designated area.The bike sharing system marks the ride complete,activates the lock remotely,and records location.
Operators monitor fleet status via cloud dashboard—battery level,last known position,any security alerts—and send maintenance or charging only when needed.
