Electric bikes for our employees

In an effort to be more sustainable and the European Mobility Week approaching, it was the perfect occasion to inaugurate the installation of electric bikes in our offices in Wandre.

Why providing electric bikes?

Finding ways and actions to be more sustainable is the core of our business. The idea of providing electric bikes to our employees seems to us a good example to show and a fun way to take care of our planet.

The project

Together with CE+T Power and CE+T Services with whom we share the offices in Wandre, we decided to trust Kameo: “We found the solution proposed by Kameo particularly interesting and in line with our desire to be able to introduce our employees to cycling. It also enable us to offer an easy solution to soft mobility that respects the environment.” says Didier Bassleer, Global Sourcing Director of CE+T Power.

Kameo’s team came on September 9 to install 5 brand new electric bikes. The bikes are all different to best adapt to the users. All employees can book one bike thanks to an online booking platform called MyKAMEO. Then they can rent it for free for 24 hours, and up to 2 days during the weekend. When they rent it, a bag, a helmet and the battery charger are at their disposal.

The feedbacks

After two weeks, it is already a success, and we received some really nice feedbacks such as the one of Bertrand Bastin, Energy Management System Engineer at CE+T Energrid who says “Easy to book and use ! I biked back and forth to my house and everything went very well for me.”

About the European Mobility Week

EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK is the European Commission’s flagship awareness-raising campaign on sustainable urban mobility. It promotes behavioural change in favour of active mobility, public transport, and other clean, intelligent transport solutions. The main event takes place from 16-22 September each year.

This year’s European Mobility Week theme is ‘Safe and Healthy with Sustainable Mobility’. The aim is to encourage the greatest number of people to adopt a sustainable eco-citizen approach by favouring soft and alternative journeys to the private car.

At CE+T, sustainability is high on the agenda. The company is doing continuous progress to be greener. In this matter, providing electric bikes to its employees could encourage them to take the bike to come to work rather than their car.
