ELECTRIC UTILITY MOTORCYCLE DESIGN FOR AGRICULTUR ACTIVITY DI REMOTE AREA

Background

 

The moped commonly used by farmers and planters in Indonesia to work in the rural area is not following the needs and the terrain they are traversing. 1,000-3,000 kg of cargo is carried daily on mopeds, whereas the standard maximum capacity ranges from 100-200 kg. This
phenomenon is proven by the fact that many farmers modify their motorbikes by adding a basket at the back, space in the middle, and adjusting the tires. Based on this phenomenon, the authors examine farmer activities and the appropriate configuration for plantation mobility. In-depth
interviews were conducted with three informants to determine the users’ needs, the loads they carried, and the terrain they traversed. The data is processed together with secondary data and studied using various analyses. The result of this study is the formulation of farmer activities
related to motorbikes so that it can be a recommendation for designers in designing utility motorbikes for garden workers or other similar types of motorbikes.
