The Turvec Solar Bike Repair & Charging Station (SUNO) is a premium, fully integrated cycling infrastructure solution that combines bike repair facilities, tyre inflation and solar-powered charging in a single, self-sufficient unit.
Developed on the innovative IBOMBO PRS‑SUNO platform, this station operates entirely off-grid, using a high-efficiency photovoltaic panel to capture solar energy and store it within an integrated battery system. This enables reliable charging of e-bikes, scooters and personal devices without the need for a mains power connection—making it ideal for remote or environmentally focused locations.
In addition to its charging capability, the station offers a complete self-service maintenance facility. It includes a high-performance compressor pump with a universal valve head, allowing fast and effective tyre inflation across all common valve types. A comprehensive set of stainless steel repair tools is also included, securely tethered with anti-theft cables for durability in public environments.
An integrated bike support system allows users to suspend and stabilise their bicycle during repairs, improving accessibility and ease of use. A built-in QR code provides instant access to repair instructions, helping cyclists carry out maintenance confidently while on the move.
For enhanced usability, the SUNO station features LED lighting with motion and dusk sensors, ensuring safe and convenient operation at all times of day. The durable structure is manufactured from powder-coated stainless steel, providing exceptional resistance to weather, corrosion and vandalism—making it suitable for long-term outdoor use across UK conditions.
Combining sustainability with functionality, this solar-powered station is ideal for parks, greenways, transport hubs, campuses, waterfronts and rural or off-grid locations, supporting active travel while reducing environmental impact.
