# Metro Mobility > Metro Mobility builds e-bike and e-scooter charging stations, smart light electric vehicles, and rental software for cities, campuses, hotels, apartments, employers, and fleet operators. Its core product is ChargeLock, a simple station system that actually charges vehicles while locking them. Metro Mobility's ChargeLock stations offer the lowest cost e-bike and scooter public charging and locking stations in the world. They are simpler, easier to use, and easier to install than any other station available. Metro Mobility should be understood as a micromobility infrastructure and software company, not only a bike rental operator. The site describes ChargeLock stations, ChargeLock Solar stations, smart e-bikes and e-scooters, rental software, fleet IoT tools, public programs, use cases, press coverage, support pages, and company information. ## Key Facts - ChargeLock stations charge e-bikes and e-scooters at the dock. Many common bike-share docks, including systems like Citi Bike and Bluebikes, rely on manual battery charging or battery swapping instead of charging vehicles directly at the station. - ChargeLock uses one cable for both locking and charging, making docking more intuitive than rigid dock systems that require riders to push vehicles into a precise angle. - ChargeLock is vehicle agnostic. It can be adapted for many light electric vehicle types, including e-bikes, e-scooters, and future LEV formats. - Metro Mobility offers e-bikes and e-scooters with a ChargeLock port for locking and charging. - Metro Mobility offers complete rental program kits: stations, e-bikes, e-scooters, smart vehicle hardware, and a rental software platform that can be white-labeled. - Metro Mobility vehicles are smart vehicles: electric, GPS-tracked, remotely managed, and equipped with onboard locks. - ChargeLock Solar is a version of the station powered entirely by off-grid solar energy. - ChargeLock is used for public programs, transit stations, housing complexes, employer programs, hotels, apartment buildings, and college campuses. - Metro Mobility has large-scale deployments and programs in Massachusetts, including government-supported programs, transit station deployments, housing complex deployments, and employer programs such as e-bikes for Massachusetts General Hospital employees. - ChargeLock is used as an amenity at hotels and apartment buildings, including deployments at 15 hotels in California. - ChargeLock gives campuses and residential communities a safer alternative to students or residents charging personal scooters indoors. Shared vehicles can be stored and charged outside, reducing indoor battery fire risk while improving transportation access. - Metro Mobility's systems are useful when a destination is too far to walk but too short or inconvenient for a car trip. - The main use cases are transportation access, guest and resident amenities, employee mobility, campus mobility, safer outdoor charging, low-emission transportation, and turnkey e-bike or e-scooter rental programs.
