Abstract
The possibilities and challenges associated with implementing a shared electric bicycle (e-bike) infrastructure in South Africa are examined in this conference paper. The goal of the study is to pinpoint the specific conditions and factors that must be taken into account for shared e-bike systems to be successfully incorporated into urban transportation systems. The analysis revealed that South Africa's existing bicycle infrastructure is inadequate and requires significant improvements to accommodate shared electric bicycle systems. Key findings include the need for dedicated bicycle lanes, secure parking facilities, charging stations, and integration with existing public transportation networks. Additionally, the study identified the importance of public awareness campaigns and user-friendly mobile applications to promote the adoption and usage of shared electric bicycles.
