Feasibility Analysis of Implementing Micromobility E-Bike Sharing in Depok City

Abstract

Dependence on private vehicles and limited integration of public transportation contribute to congestion and environmental problems. Micro-mobility solutions, such as e-bike sharing, have emerged as a potential alternative to improve the accessibility of public transportation and encourage a shift from the use of private vehicles. This research aims to analyze the key factors that influence the adoption of e-bike-sharing services as a mode of transportation for short and long distances in Depok City. This research also assesses the feasibility of implementing this system by evaluating the characteristics of the road network, public transportation integration, and land use conditions. The research methodology used was a structured research methodology, starting with a literature review and factor identification, followed by factor weighting using the Likert scale and the Analytical Network Process (ANP) method. A preference survey was conducted among potential users, and the collected data was analyzed using a binomial logit model in RStudio. The findings show that savings in travel costs, distance to daycare, and travel time significantly influence the adoption of electric bicycles. The probability of switching to e-bike sharing services is higher among users of private motorbikes at distances of 100-200 meters, mainly due to cost savings and accessibility. Meanwhile, online ojek users show a higher tendency to switch at distances of 350-500 meters, driven by convenience, flexibility, and privacy. Although the cost of e-bike sharing is relatively higher, users consider accessibility, modern technology, and environmental benefits as strong incentives.
