Peer-to-peer Cargo Bike Sharing: Findings from LARA Share project

Something for every one? - An investigation of people’s intention to use different types of shared electric vehicle

“…The latter suggests that shared electric cars and cargobikes might be more attractive to a broader range of age groups. For gender, contrary to previous studies that showed gender effects (Dorner & Berger, 2020;Jie et al, 2021;Ko et al, 2021;Reck & Axhausen, 2021), the authors did not find any influence of gender on respondents' interest in shared electric vehicles, with the exception of shared e-bikes, where female respondents showed slightly more interest. Beyond gender, respondents living in Dreux or Manchester showed greater interest in all e-modes, except shared e-cargobikes, compared to the reference group.…”

“…In addition, those who were already cycling or using public transport, irrespective of the frequency of use, also showed a greater interest in shared e-bikes, which suggests that current cyclists and public transport users may be the most eager to use shared e-bikes as either a supplement to, or substitute for, their current mobility. Similarly, in the case of e-cargobikes, those cycling on at least 3-4 days per week expressed the greatest interest, whereas being an existing cargobike owner further increased the intention to use shared ecargobikes (see also Dorner & Berger, 2020). Regular public transport users (i.e., those who use public transport on 1-2 or 3-4 days per week) also expressed a greater interest in e-cargobikes, reinforcing the suitability of the latter as an alternative for those without access to a private car (Becker & Rudolf, 2018).…”

“…Instead, shared e-bikes and e-scooters should be regarded as an important part of the mobility agenda, creating more mobility options for young people, thereby aiding to prevent or at least delay car dependence. Interest in ecargobikes appears to be limited to experienced frequent cyclists and regular public transport users who may use them as an alternative to the private car (Dorner & Berger, 2020). Yet, while more limited in their target audience, the untapped potential of e-cargobikes to replace trips by private car should not be underestimated (Becker & Rudolf, 2018).…”

“…Cargobike usage, however, is still limited to a fairly narrow audience. Dorner and Berger (2020) contend that 'men, welleducated people, and cyclists are particularly interested in cargobikes and cargobike-sharing' (p. 9).…”

Exploring the potential of shared electric vehicles from e‐mobility hubs as an alternative for commute and food shopping trips

“…With regard to e-bike (including e-cargobike) sharing, it has been found that a range of recurring demographic factors, such as age, gender, income, and education, tend to be associated with bike sharing usage or intention [6,11,14,15,17,22]. For instance, in their review of shared e-mobility services, Liao and Correia [6] conclude that shared mobility users are mostly male, middle-aged, and tend to have higher levels of income and education (see also [23]).…”
