The project was carried out together with OC Off Course who manufactureand distribute mainly electric bikes.In today’s society, alternative sources of transportation becomes more andmore present and several bicycle sharing programs arises in major citiesacross the world every year.Something that doesn’t exist too much as of yet is bike sharing programsthat uses electric bikes. An electric bike is a convenient way oftransportation as well as a good way of avoiding traffic. With an electricbike you avoid having to sweat when biking over hills or when you need totravel over longer distances.The goal of this project is to develop a bike sharing station according tothe functions need to be met.This thesis Is based on Fredy Olsson´s methods principkonstruktion aswell as a couple of concept generating methods from Kenneth Österlin.From this, a number of sketches were made that later was evaluated inseveral steps in conjunction to a set of specifications. A 3D model of theselected concept was later made in CatiaV5 for a complete product.

Linköpings kommun invigde hösten 2019 en elcykelpool kallad LinBike i syfte att bidra till stadens utveckling och nå klimatmålen. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka användarna av LinBike för att förstå varför den används och huruvida den kan bidra till fler hållbara resor. Genom kvalitativa gatuintervjuer med 24 användare har fem olika mobilitetstyper identifierats som sammanfattar användarnas förhållningssätt till systemet. Analys av resultatet visar att elcyklarna främst används tack vare tjänstens bekvämlighet och prisvärdhet. LinBike bidrar till att användarna i många fall kan genomföra sina vardagliga resor enklare än innan. Förbättringsåtgärder föreslås som anses nödvändiga för att tjänsten ska behålla användare och bidra till en mer hållbar mobilitet. Studiens slutsatser är bland annat att klimatsmarta mobilitetstjänster bör fokusera på att vara smidiga och lättillgängliga för att locka användare. LinBike som färdmedel ersätter idag främst andra hållbara transportmedel och därför kan det inte konstateras att tjänsten bidrar till en mer hållbar mobilitet. / Linköpings municipality has during the autumn of 2019 established an electric bike-sharing system called LinBike with the purpose to contribute to the city’s development and reach its climate goals. The scope of this thesis is to study the users of LinBike to understand why it is used and whether it contributes to a sustainable mobility or not. Through qualitative street interviews with 24 users, five types of mobility users have been identified which summarize the users attitude towards the system. Analysis of the results demonstrate that the E-bikes are used mainly because of the convenience and the price of the service. LinBike helps make everyday travel easier than before. Improvement measures are proposed which are considered necessary for the service to maintain users and contribute to a more sustainable mobility. Conclusions are that climate-smart mobility services should focus on being comfortable and accessible to attract users. LinBike users usually replace other sustainable modes of transportation and thus it cannot be concluded that the service contributes to a more sustainable mobility.
