UrbanCubby is a modular, LEGO-like smart locker system that makes sports and play equipment easily accessible in public spaces. Through a simple web app, visitors can unlock and share equipment exactly where it’s meant to be used: outdoors, in the city, and together.
By activating underused infrastructure such as parks UrbanCubby gives locations a new purpose. From kubb and badminton to basketballs, footballs, calisthenics equipment or entirely different use cases. UrbanCubby adapts to the needs of each location.
The result? More movement, more interaction and more value from existing public space, all powered by a flexible locker system designed for the sharing economy.
Designed for cities, municipalities or public spaces, UrbanCubby is a robust, modular sharing solution built for outdoor usage: flexible in setup, autonomous in operation.
Built like LEGO, UrbanCubby uses modular building blocks that adapt to each location’s needs and budget. It supports multiple sizes of items per location, making it ideal for a wide range of sports and play equipment
UrbanCubby operates fully autonomously. A built-in battery, continuously charged via solar panel, ensures uninterrupted operation throughout its lifetime without the need for external charging or power connections.
All lockers can be managed and opened remotely, allowing operators to monitor usage, manage access and support users without being physically present.
Designed for intensive public use, UrbanCubby features a durable, vandal-resistant and weatherproof construction, suitable for year-round outdoor deployment.
Proudly produced in Belgium, UrbanCubby lockers support local employment and sustainable, responsible manufacturing.
UrbanCubby goes beyond storage. Optional add-ons allow locations to enhance functionality and user experience:
UrbanCubby is a large, eye-catching installation that invites interaction. The system can be fully wrapped or branded in collaboration with the location, turning it into a visible asset within the public space.
We believe in direct communication. UrbanCubby customers receive personal support via WhatsApp and benefit from short delivery times — no ticket systems, no long waiting periods.
UrbanCubby supports local governments in enabling sharing projects.
Enhance the user experience with autonomous equipment management, saving on operational costs.
Users are verified through multiple methods, including SMS, email, optional small payments, and Stripe ID verification. Verification levels can be increased depending on the security risks of the location.
Designed for individuals, organizations, and communities, UrbanCubby makes access to shared resources more efficient, convenient, and inclusive.
Promoting equal access to shared resources by making sports equipment and tools available to everyone, regardless of financial background.
Integrating smart storage solutions into urban environments to reduce clutter, optimize public space usage, and encourage resource sharing.
Tackling overconsumption and waste by making borrowing more convenient than buying, supporting a circular economy.
Providing easy access to sports and recreational equipment to encourage an active lifestyle and promote physical and mental well-being.
Using data-driven insights and modular technology to create scalable, future-proof storage solutions for smarter cities.
