ABSTRACT: Amusement parks are a popular tourist destinations. Usually, in the amusement park
there is a relaxing area, a natural landscape, as well as a playground with various entertainment
attractions. There are several modes of transportation available to accommodate user access to all
areas or just admiring the beautiful scenery. One alternative is the kick bike with additional electric
power to make it easier for users and not get tired when driving around in an amusement park,
especially the uphill area. An electric kick bike was chosen as an alternative to attract young adult
visitors to visit the amusement park. The research to be conducted is qualitative. Qualitative research
is a method for exploring and understanding the activities and needs of amusement park visitors.
Based on this potential, this research will design an electric kick bike for a recreational vehicle.
The aim of this research is how to create an environmentally friendly vehicle as transportation as
well as a recreational vehicle for amusement park visitors
Keywords: vehicle, kick bike, design, environmentally friendly
1 INTRODUCTION
The amusement park is a trendy tourist place, which not only offers beautiful natural attractions but
also provides a variety of attractions for family games available in the amusement park area. The
amusement park provides transportation facilities, both mass transportation and personal transportation, as well as recreational vehicles. One alternative for individual vehicles, as well as
amusement park attractions, is the kick bike. The kick bike itself is a kind of scooter vehicle with
a larger dimension on the wheels and frame compared with a conventional scooter. This vehicle
(is) also an answer to accommodate the needs of attraction vehicles for young adults. Besides, this
kick bike will be equipped with an additional electric engine to add power to facilitate users when
going through the uphill terrain in the amusement park area.
The choice of kick bike with the addition of electric power is to create environmentally friendly
transportation. By using an electric motor that does not produce carbon residues will help reduce
environmental pollution. Based on the previous explanation, this research will design a kick bike
with the addition of electric power. The goal is to provide modes of transportation and attractions
for amusement park visitors that are environmentally friendly, based on the activities and needs of
young adult visitors.
1.1 Sustainable design
In the early 1990s, the concepts of eco-design and green product design had emerged, which were
a company’s strategy to reduce the negative impact on the environment from the results of their
industrial production activities. Until 1997, UNEP announced a statement on eco-design: “the
concept of eco-design was an agreement to create sustainable products and consumption” (UNEP
2009).
This statement is the beginning of today’s concept of sustainable design. As the issue of global
environmental damage is increasingly visible, this forces the global industrial community to focus
