The Agats District, a remote region in Papua, Indonesia, faces the daunting challenge of developing sustainable and efficient transportation systems due to its unique geographical features, such as tidal areas and inadequate road infrastructure. As traditional fossil-fuelled vehicles prove impractical in this setting, adopting electric motorcycles has become paramount. This study delves into the extensive usage of electric motorcycles in Agats, where approximately 90% of the population relies on these eco-friendly vehicles. The importance of this research is underscored by its potential to inform policymakers and serve as a benchmark for promoting electric vehicle ecosystems in similarly remote regions worldwide. Employing in-depth interviews and comprehensive data analysis, the study explores the intricate interplay between supply and demand factors, analyzes the electric motorcycle ecosystem's development stages, and utilizes the Social Business Model Canvas (SBMC) approach to elucidate the adaptation process. The results reveal the critical role of income, government policies, production costs, and geographical factors in shaping electric motorcycle adoption while offering a holistic understanding of Agats' unique electric vehicle ecosystem. |
