Does this scene sound familiar to you?

Your alarm clock goes off bright and early and you're in the shower in under 10 seconds. Today is going to be a busy day, so it's best to get to work early.

Like every morning, as you leave the house, you look for an ACCIONA shared motorbike using the mobile App. You find one available right where you are, like every morning. And in 15 minutes, you're sitting at your desk.

You've avoided the traffic jam that you've managed to avoid since this service exists, you've left the motorbike parked up—it will shortly be picked up by another user—and spent less time worrying about how to get to the office than it takes to grab a coffee from the machine. Traffic is now one less problem in your routine...

But… have you ever wondered what happens during the night, while you're asleep, for that motorbike to be right there, where you need it, with its electric battery fully charged and its mechanics checked? Sometimes we think things just happen, that they appear out of the blue, like when you stumble across a clump of porcini mushrooms that wasn't there the day before. Sometimes we think things just appear when we need them, and we think no further.

However, for each ACCIONA shared electric motorbike to be available, clean, checked over and ready right when you need it, it takes a multitude of people and a whole framework of specific and minute details that we want to tell you about. How are the batteries charged? Who decides on the location of the motorbikes? What kind of maintenance is done out on the street? What data does the bike generate on each trip?

ACCIONA is the world's largest motosharing operator, with a fleet of more than 10,000 motorbikes across several European cities, including Madrid, Barcelona, Rome and Milan.

Sustainability is the basis for ACCIONA's mobility service, not only because it involves non-polluting electric motorbikes whose charge energy is certified as 100% renewable, but also because it comes with a range of electric recharge vehicles.

Users have already made more than four million trips since the service started and demand for this type of sustainable mobility in cities continues to grow. This is why all operators are committed to ensuring that every morning, before the city wakes up, each and every ACCIONA motorbike has been checked and is ready for use.
