We install EV charging points and one client has mentioned potentially putting in charging points for bikes.

Unless I am mistaken, all these need to be is 3 pin sockets. I think that each charger is unique to each battery(?). The bikes are for use around a large business park.

Is my assumption correct?

You’re correct that you would just need a standard UK 3 pin plug.

I might be misunderstanding your question, but the chargers are not unique to the individual batteries, if you’ve got a load of bikes for your business park which are the same?

However, there is no standard connector between brands so can’t share chargers between bikes which use different battery makes/models if that’s what you meant.

Unless located in a secure compound it will likely be a magnet for thieves.

Yes. The e bikers will need to bring their chargers along with them and plug in.

Thanks all. Bikes will be the same and are managed/held at the management office for the business park. I think that a few 3 pin sockets will be fine for them.
