Abstract: This paper studied the development of the bike-sharing system in China, the challenges that bike-sharing system facing, and proposed solutions. Shared-bicycle is a convenient and environmentally friendly option for short-distance city travel, but it faced issues such as insufficient durability, poor application software performance, theft, and intentional destruction. This paper compares the large-scale deployment and adoption of dockless bicycle systems used by shared bicycle systems in China with the small-scale deployment in the West that prioritizes user experience and sustainability through the use of bicycle parking stations. Although shared-bicycles have a positive impact on the environment, economy, and transportation in China, technical issues and low operational efficiency have hindered user satisfaction and market growth. This paper proposes a series of suggestions, such as improving the durability, software performance, and anti-theft measures of bicycles, aiming promote the sustainable development and optimization of shared bicycle system in China.
