AXA IN electronic ring lock integration

Specs captured from the official AXA / Allegion E-Rental smart-solutions page on 2026-04-23. The wired variant requires a host IoT module (operator-supplied or via a partner like Conneqtech) — Allegion positions it for "large bike-sharing and rental projects with their platform and communication already in place." No internal battery means no field battery swaps, and the open protocol on the wire keeps the operator in control of the security stack. Sold B2B-only; pricing is quote-based via Allegion sales.

About This Product

AXA lists the AXA-IN E-RL Wired alongside the Bluetooth variant on its E-Rental smart-solutions page. The official description identifies it as an electronic ring lock with wired communication for bike-sharing deployments.

AXA keeps the rider-side workflow consistent across the family by stating that the ring lock can be opened with a smartphone and can accept a plug-in chain or cable. It is clearly positioned as an integrated OEM component instead of a generic aftermarket lock.
