Abstract: Bike-sharing systems offer an efficient urban mobility solution by reducing traffic congestion, improving health, reducing pollution and promoting intermodality. Designing a pricing strategy for urban electric bicycle rental systems is an important issue to guarantee the desired levels of system adoption. This research explores gender differences in willingness to pay for and use electric bike-sharing services through two case studies, Santander (Spain) and Cartagena (Colombia). The methodology involved creating a survey to collect data on the socioeconomic characteristics of participants, their current patterns of bicycle use, and their future use of the electric bike-sharing system. Additionally, the survey explores preferences for e-bike system prices through a stated preference experiment.
