Headquartered in Switzerland, the Repower Group, which has been active in the electricity sector for more than 100 years, has been present in Italy since 2002, where it caters only to companies, generating sales in 2022 of more than 3.2 billion euros out of the Group’s total of about 4.7 billion. Innovation is the hallmark of Repower’s approach to the Italian market, where it boasts a rich portfolio of services and products: from electricity and gas supplies to energy efficiency and photovoltaics, from electric mobility to cycling.

In cycling Repower entered in 2018 with E-LOUNGE, a smart bench equipped with smart charging for e-bikes, already an ADI Compasso d’Oro in 2020, and then at the end of 2021 with the DINAclub project with the goal of electrifying the Bel Paese’s cycle routes.

DINAclub

DINAclub is based on three cornerstones: gamification, visibility and a rack, DINA, capable of housing bikes and recharging e-bikes. In fact, DINAclub is a network dedicated to pedal-assisted cycling, where each accommodation facility participating in the circuit is reported as both a stop and a charging service provider.

It is a win-win solution: for the cyclist, who can better plan his route along the DINAclub points, and at the same time for the hosts, accommodations or public administrations, who have an extra visibility tool as they are flagged as a point of interest on the komoot app, a partner in the project.

Through komoot, cyclists can designate a relevant site as the start or destination of their route, once they arrive, recharge their e-bike or dock their muscle bike to the rack, and finally download a free offline regional map, otherwise chargeable, by scanning the QR code on the DINA rack.
