This study examines the factors influencing behavioral intention and usage behavior of e-bikes in Metro Manila National Capital Region (NCR) using constructs from Diffusion Innovation (DOI) theory, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), external variables such as government policies, infrastructure, social influence, public awareness. A cross-sectional survey 340 respondents was analyzed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to explore relationships among these constructs. The results indicate that perceived usefulness (PU), ease use (PEOU), awareness significantly affect intention, which strongly predicts e-bike behavior. Infrastructure also positively impacts use, while trialability enhances usefulness. However, between policies usefulness, well were insignificant, reflecting contextual limitations Philippine setting. findings highlight importance a primary driver adoption. To address barriers, practical recommendations include expanding bike lanes, implementing sharing systems, strengthening incentives, launching campaigns benefits e-bikes, cost savings environmental sustainability. contributes theory by integrating DOI TAM frameworks, offering comprehensive understanding adoption developing urban settings. These insights provide actionable strategies for policymakers, manufacturers, stakeholders promote sustainable transportation Philippines similar contexts.
