Compatible Fleet Platforms

External third-party IoT module with I/O ports

Operator fleet backend

Specs captured from the official AXA / Allegion E-Rental smart-solutions page on 2026-04-23 and updated after vendor clarification. AXA confirmed on 2026-05-07 that AXA IoT modules are no longer available; remote lock control requires an external third-party IoT module or wired host controller. The wired variant can support remote lock/unlock when the operator supplies the IoT module and protected wiring. 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.

In a 2026-05-07 follow-up, AXA described the wired ERL 2.0 as the maximum-flexibility option: an external IoT module controls the lock through I/O signals over a 5-wire cable. The IoT module provides the cellular/backend layer; the AXA lock itself is the wired actuator.

AXA also clarified that its own IoT modules are no longer available. This means remote lock and unlock are possible only when the operator supplies and integrates the host IoT module and cabling.
