11. Electronic Bike Sharing Service
Summary
Investment
1. Invest charging station service provider
The China government had banned the E-Bike service
due to safety control of charging station which may lead
to a new standard of charging regulation in cities. In the
future, electronic vehicles like electronic cars/motors
and even the self-own E-Bike, should share same
charging station.
Case 1: Charging station service providers in China
Case 2: Gogoro released its battery standard to
competitors
Risk and Consideration
1. Regulation
Take Jump as an example, they compete with other 5 E-
Bike service providers include mobike and limebike to get
the 18 months exclusive right in SF. The uncertainty of
regulation is one of the biggest challenge, ensure there are
people in the team are acquainted with the gov sector is
crucial.
2. Competitors from China
As sharing bike service is running successfully in China,
the mature cost structure, operation and business model
could be a threat for US players.
3. Uncertainty of market size in US
76.3% of commuter choose to drive, 9% carpool, 5.1%
public transit, 2.7% walked, and only 0.6% cycled in US
(40% in China). To turn the 5.1% of public transit to
cycled could need a bit time to change their habit.

Editor's Notes
What are some advantages we think the city should promote E-Bike instead of Tran, Bus Taxi and Uber.
So, living in the city, as you know, most of us commute to the office, by train, bart, uber.
But we all facing two problems which is
Traffic congestion
Some people might have some twists and turns during the connection
Short term transportation in the urban area, you can actually all covered by E-Bike
So what cities could possibly accept the E-Bike idea in the first?
The answer would be the city already own a huge population of biking which is Shanghai, New York, London and Paris.
So how about the situation in US?
Even though the automotive is still the king of American commute, some US cities are still have impressive green travel rate include
NY, DC, Boston and SF had green commute rate of 50%
https://www.statista.com/statistics/674381/size-global-market-electric-bicycles/
Even though the automobile is king of the American commute, some US cities can still do boast an impressively green travel rate. 68 percent of New Yorkers travel by either bike, walking or the city's transit system, according to research conducted by the League of American Bicyclists. Washington DC and Boston also had high shares of non-drivers - 53.1 and 50.7 percent respectively. Even though some cities are turning their back on the automobile, this is not the case across the rest of the country. 76 percent of Americans travel to work alone by car.
How about the market in China, let see some numbers here.
Market size in 2017 is 10.3 billion and market user volume achieve 209 million.
http://www.globalinforesearch.com/article.php?id=1500
I don’t think they will ban the e-bike forever, instead, the government should figure out the standard and see if the charging station would be part of the fundamental infrastructure in the future. Some of the startups are making their own charging station and might have a high potential of investment which I will discuss a little bit in the final PPT. 2 types of E-Bike companies 1.) Pure E-Bike company 2.) Extension of bike sharing service, and I will discuss more later to further introduce the products.
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2017-09/18/content_32152985.htm
This is four startups in China had a huge investment in 2017. Investment is 5M RMB in angel round. And Pre-A of 10M RMB in Pre-A, and 10M RMB for A round. Actually the products are most likely pretty similar, price as well, different km charge per ride. And you can find station/stationless products
Here I select few numbers for you to have some ideas, after half year’s operation, they got the numbers here.

Cost
Most E-bikes now price between $1,000 and $3,000, with high-end models exceeding $5,000.
Market
2016年,美国城市传统共享单车系统总使用量为2800万次
纽约非常热门的共享单车项目CitiBike由私营公司Motivate运营,车队中有约1万辆单车。然而根据去年的一项城市研究,该公司需要8万辆单车才能满足整个城市的需求。
作为共享单车公司最开始关注的美国城市之一,10月份时华盛顿特区的每天每辆车使用次数约为1次。
无桩共享单车已进入达拉斯,当地政府没有对这类单车做出任何限制。在当地,LimeBike和ofo各自投放了约1万辆单车
Currently, about 2,590 shared electric bikes are on the roads in Hangzhou
Market
- High Density in the 中国城市的人口密度更高,对单车更友好
-摩拜每天在中国的单量达到3000万。
在美国,摩拜目前只在少数几座城市展开运营,包括华盛顿特区、夏洛特,以及休斯顿的郊区
Investment of Series A is around $10 million, for limebike the Series B is 120M which is incredible but okay compare to mobike. Price are similar, and limebike is more expensive. Something interesting for Jump is “__”.
Speed is all under 20 miles per hour.
