Mr Ken Ching

Ken Ching is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Locolla Limited, the Hong Kong operator of the LocoBike dockless bikesharing service. He is also a PhD candidate in the Department of Electrical Engineering at City University of Hong Kong. At LocoBike, Ken leads a technology-driven micromobility network in which every ride yields data about how people move through the city. That experience underpins his doctoral research on the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), shared-bike demand prediction and green transportation. His thesis, "Sensing the Cyclist: User-Behaviour-Driven AIoT for Dockless Bike-Sharing", combines real-world fleet data, user-behaviour modelling and field experiments. It aims to make dockless systems more efficient, better balanced and more appealing to riders. His work has appeared in respected international journals. He is the author of a 2025 paper on AUMS in IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, and of a 2026 paper in Future Tra
