Fifteen Electric Bike-Sharing System and Fifteen Control

Fifteen is a French company, legally registered as FIFTEEN in Issy-les-Moulineaux, that has been developing shared bike services since 2007 and was formed from the Smoove and Zoov brands. It helps cities, regions, transport authorities and operators launch electric bike-sharing, long-term rental and bike-and-train services in urban and rural areas.

The system combines a connected, geolocated electric bike with a removable battery and tamper-proof motor lock, an ultra-compact smart station that charges up to 10 bikes in the space of one car parking spot, rider apps and websites, the Fifteen Control fleet management software, the Fifteen Angels field app and an analytics and city intelligence product. It can be run by the city's operator or a certified partner. Deployments include Helsinki, Marseille, Saint-Etienne, Augsburg, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Vancouver's Mobi and regional bike-and-train services in France.

• Connected e-bike: geolocated electric bike with removable battery and tamper-proof electronic motor lock.
• Smart station: a single terminal that docks and charges up to 10 bikes on one parking space.
• Fifteen Control: real-time dashboard and global map of bikes, stations and maintenance status.
• Geofencing: GPS service boundaries, speed-limited zones and automated misuse alerts.
• Remote operations: set up stations, disable faulty bikes and push software updates remotely.
• Rider apps and analytics: branded booking apps plus an analytics and city intelligence product.

A metro or bus operator in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City can deploy e-bike stations at stations for first and last mile trips. Coastal tourist cities such as Da Nang or Nha Trang can run electric bike-sharing for visitors. Large urban developments and university campuses can offer long-term e-bike rental to residents and students.

Cities get one supplier for bikes, stations, apps and operations software, with flexibility from occasional trips to long-term rentals. Compact stations take one parking space for 10 bikes and are quick to install and move, which lowers civil works and maintenance cost. Automatic fault reporting and remote operations help field teams plan maintenance. Fifteen reports 50,000 bikes in more than 25 cities.

European cities are replacing mechanical bike-sharing fleets with fully electric ones and linking bikes to train stations and transport passes. Vietnamese cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have launched public bike-sharing and are expanding metro lines, which raises demand for compact, electrified first and last mile services that fit tight sidewalks.
