Problem
Uppsala University students often face challenges transporting items too large for a standard bicycle rack without relying on cars. Existing solutions are often inconvenient, expensive, or environmentally unfriendly. This creates a need for accessible and sustainable transportation options for students moving goods around the city.
Solution
PELI PELI provides a network of free-to-use bike trailers stationed at various locations around Uppsala, addressing the need for convenient and eco-friendly transport. Students can easily borrow a trailer for up to 24 hours by using the PELI PELI app to scan a QR code at a designated pick-up point, obtaining the trailer keys. The trailers attach to most standard bicycles without requiring any tools, enabling users to transport significantly larger loads than a typical bike rack allows. This system promotes sustainable transportation by offering a car-free alternative for moving items around the city.
Target Audience
The primary target audience is Uppsala University students who need a free and sustainable way to transport items that are too large or heavy for a standard bicycle.
