Exploring the Adoption of Electric Motorcycle Based on Habits, Knowledge, Costs, and Infrastructure in Indonesia

Abstract

The largest contribution to air pollution comes from the transportation sector, especially motorcycles which reach up to 60%. This is an important issue. An effort chosen by the Indonesian government to realize the emission reduction target is by transitioning conventional motorcycles to electric motorcycles. The use of electric vehicles releases lower emissions than conventional vehicles that use fossil fuels. The trend of electric motorcycles adoption in adoption innovation and early adoption is being carried out in Indonesia. Thus, it is necessary to examine the factors that influence the adoption of electric motorcycles in Indonesia with various variable development models. In this study, the influence of mobility behavior, knowledge of electric motorcycles, availability of charging stations, battery replacement costs, and energy charging costs was observed on the selection of hybrid motorcycles, electric motorcycles with batteries, and electric motorcycles battery rental systems using a multinomial logit model. The research found the most chosen motorcycles is an electric motorcycles with a battery.
