Falco Installs Cycle Parking and e-Bike Parking Infrastructure for Granta Science and Technology Park in Cambridge

This month, Falco has manufactured, supplied and installed a range of cycle parking and e-bike charging infrastructure for Granta science and technology park in Cambridge.

The project involved the design, supply, and installation of a diverse range of cycle racks, bike stands, e-bike charging facilities and a cycle repair facility. Granta Park, a prestigious science, technology, and biopharmaceutical hub, is located on the scenic banks of the River Granta in Great Abington, and the installation reflects the park’s commitment to sustainable, eco-friendly transportation options for its tenants and visitors.

Falco’s installation at Granta Park included a combination of traditional cycle racks, modern e-bike parking and charging solutions, and essential amenities to ensure a safe and secure cycling experience. The infrastructure installed was specifically chosen to meet the needs of the park’s diverse cycling community, promoting ease of access, security, and charging facilities for electric bikes.

Falco manufactured, supplied and installed the following products:

104 FalcoLevel-Eco Two-Tier Cycle Racks: The FalcoLevel-Eco racks were installed to create 104 secure cycle parking spaces. These space-saving two-tier racks are a perfect solution for high-density bike parking, offering increased capacity without compromising on safety or ease of use.

Eight FalcoSound E-Bike Charging Spaces: Designed to accommodate electric bicycles, the FalcoSound cycle racks feature built-in charging facilities, allowing users to charge their e-bikes while securely parking them. This addition supports the increasing demand for electric bike infrastructure and encourages more people to switch to e-bikes as a sustainable mode of transport.

Two FalcoForce Cycle Stands: To further support e-bike riders, two FalcoForce cycle stands were installed, providing parking for up to four electric bikes. These stands are designed to be robust, offering secure parking for heavier e-bikes and ensuring long-lasting durability.

Four Sheffield Cycle Stands: Four Sheffield stands were placed throughout the park to accommodate up to eight traditional cycles, adaptive bikes or cargo bikes. This design is widely recognised for its simplicity and practicality, offering a sturdy solution for general bike parking.

FalcoFix 2.0 Cycle Repair Station: A key feature of the installation, the FalcoFix 2.0 provides users with the tools needed to carry out basic repairs and maintenance on their bikes. The station promotes self-sufficiency and ensures that cyclists can easily carry out essential bike maintenance whilst on the go.

FalcoCharge E-Bike Battery Charging Lockers: To further support the rise of electric cycling, one unit of four individual FalcoCharge e-bike battery charging lockers was installed. These lockers allow e-bike owners to securely store and charge their ebike batteries once parked.
