Abstract Consumer trust plays a crucial role in the development of the sharing economy. This study primarily focuses on the factors influencing consumer trust and examines the case of ofo, a former leader in China's bike-sharing industry. This paper analyzes the decline in consumer trust in ofo, which can be attributed to internal management issues and the near-bankruptcy situation. The "difficulty in refunds" issue faced by ofo since December 2018 has been growing continuously, and this study explores the factors influencing trust and distrust in this context. By considering product factors (quality), platform factors (payment security, privacy protection, reputation), and social factors (social norms, government regulation) as independent variables, the study analyzes the factors affecting consumer trust. The analysis results revealed that as consumers' distrust towards shared bikes increases, their switching intention also increases. The company's reputation and social norms were found to influence both trust and distrust, while government regulation was found to influence trust. The research findings provide insights relevant to sharing economy platforms and offer guidance for future studies. 소비자 신뢰는 공유 경제 발전에 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구는 소비자 신뢰에 영향을 미치는 요인을 중점적으로 다루며, 중국의 자전거 공유 산업에서 선두였던 오포(OFO)의 사례를 살펴보았다. 본 논문은 오포의 내부 경영 문제와 거의 파산상태에 이르기까지 소비자 신뢰의 하락을 분석합니다. 2018년 12월부터 오포가 직면한 "환불의 어려움" 문제는 계속해서 커져 왔으며, 본 연구는 이 상황을 배경으로 신뢰/불신에 영향을 주는 영향 요인들을 살펴보았다. 제품 요인(품질), 플랫폼 요인(결제 보안, 개인 정보 보호, 명성), 사회적 요인(사회 규범, 정부 규제)을 독립변수로 고려하여 소비자 신뢰에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석합니다. 분석 결과, 공유 자전거에 대한 소비자의 불신이 커지면 전환의도가 높아지며, 회사의 평판과 사회적규범은 신뢰와 불신에 모두 영향을 미치고, 정부규제는 신뢰에 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였다. 연구 결과는 공유 경제 플랫폼에 시사하는 바가 있으며 향후 연구를 위한 지침을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
