Rastel.io: Romanian startup works to make smart bike parking an easy ride

Romanian startup Rastel.io, whose story started at an innovation hackathon in Oradea, has developed a range of solutions designed for secure bike parking. As part of EIT Urban Mobility programs, it implemented projects in Dubnica nad Váhom, Slovakia, and Heraklion, Greece, and it is looking to expand its reach further.

The startup offers modular bike parking shelters designed to meet the requirements of any space, an app for cyclists that lets users find and access the network parking units without the need for several keys or access cards, an app for parking administrators, allowing the development of campaigns promoting and rewarding cycling, and tailored solutions.
