This document proposes a bike sharing system in Indonesia using pedicabs or cargo bikes. It notes that while bike sharing has benefits, implementing it faces challenges in Indonesia related to cultural acceptance and theft. The proposal is for a system where citizens can rent pedicabs themselves or hire a driver, similar to motorcycle taxis. This could combine bike sharing with existing transportation options. Pedicabs address issues like passenger capacity, advertising space, and theft prevention compared to standard bikes. Challenges include regulation, distribution, and upfront costs, but it could lower driver investment and encourage self-riding.

1. Pedicab / Cargo Bike
for
Bike Sharing
by Imam Wiratmadja

2. Background
0 Cities all over the world have took the advantages of
bike sharing
0 In Indonesia, Bike Sharing has yet to be fully
implemented
0 Possible problems and challenges requires local
insight to be understood

3. Problems In Implementing
Bike Sharing
0 Apparent conflict with
other last-mile
transportation mode:
ojek
0 Not everybody feels it’s
comfortable enough to
cycle
0 Not everybody feels it’s
proper for them to cycle

4. Ensure the Bike Sharing’s
sustaining operation :
0 How to make it secure from theft
0 How to ensure significant user base
& frequent usage
0 How to make it attractive as
advertising medium

5. IDEA
Ojek + Bike Sharing,
by using Pedicab / Cargo Bike

6. How it works
0 Citizen who intended to go from A to B come to the docking
station
0 If he is a registered member and willing to bike, he can assign the
bike by himself to carry friends / family
0 He can choose to hire a driver (who are being around the docking
station, like ojek) to drive the pedicab
0 Like common Bike Sharing scheme, if the pedicab returned to
any docking station within 30 minutes, the charge is very low /
free
0 Assigning & returning the pedicab can be done by the driver or
by the passanger if he is registered

7. Advantages of Pedicab/
Cargo Bike

8. Multi-passenger / Cargo Capacity

9. More surface for ad display

10. Less easy to be stolen

11. Ensured Frequent User

12. Advantage over Privately
Owned Pedicab / Cargo Bike
0 More ordered & coordinated
0 Ensure better maintenance
0 Less investment for driver
0 Free to choose to ride it yourself

13. Challenges
0 Regulation
0 Member registration
0 Wide dimension to take on the roads
0 Transporting units to even the distribution
0 More expensive unit
