Connected motorcycle parking
The need
« I don’t want my motorcycle stolen while it’s parked »
A connected station that detects the motorcycle and holds the wheel
BiteBike turns a motorcycle parking space into a connected system. Vento coordinates the ESP32, presence detector, indicators and actuator that holds the wheel with an app for finding stations, booking and managing the parking session. The device and interface share the state of each space throughout the journey.
How Vento helps
- 01Organizes the parking space states: available, occupied and secured
- 02Connects the ESP32, presence detector, indicators and actuator
- 03Builds the app with a map, availability and booking
- 04Coordinates booking, wheel restraint and release
How it works
Build the station electronics
An ESP32 controls the detector, indicators and mechanism that holds the wheel. The station works independently and connects to Vento in the cloud to share its state with the app.
Connect the station to the app
The device communicates its state and responds to actions from the map and booking flow.
Test the complete journey
Test everything from finding a space to parking, holding the wheel and retrieving the motorcycle.

Notes from the maker
« The mechanics were the part we knew how to do. The app, the bookings and keeping every station in sync felt out of reach. We described that side to Vento and it stood up the app and the communication while we focused on the steel and the lock. »
