Lithium-ion battery charging in shared bike rooms has created new safety concerns for property managers and cities. Unattended overnight charging increases fire risk — yet banning charging entirely discourages e-bike adoption.
The Bikeep Smart Socket offers a balanced solution:
- One-button activation
- Automatic shut-off timer (default 4 hours)
- Visual LED charging indicator
- Reduces unattended charging risks
- No Wi-Fi, no app, no subscription required
It transforms a standard outlet into a controlled, intelligent charging point — without adding operational complexity.

How It Works
Charging with Smart Socket is intentionally simple:
- Plug in your charger
- Press the activation button
- Green LED confirms charging
- Power automatically cuts after the set time
No accounts. No network configuration. No backend system required.
This makes it ideal for environments where simplicity and safety matter most.
Built for Real-World Spaces
Smart Socket is designed for:
- Apartment and residential bike rooms
- Universities and student housing
- Corporate campuses
- Transit hubs
- Any indoor shared charging environment
Installation takes approximately 30 minutes, using standard wall mounting. The modular system allows expansion from 3 up to 12 sockets, depending on demand.
Why It Matters
As cities promote electric micromobility, infrastructure must evolve responsibly.
The Bikeep Smart Socket helps organizations:
- Reduce fire risks
- Prevent overnight charging misuse
- Support safe e-bike adoption

It's a small device — solving a growing urban challenge.
