Prototype Development of Motorbike Towing Hook Towards Authorized Mechanic Perception and Investigation

Abstract

The research aims to find the authorized mechanic perception of the towing hook's development to lay at the motorbike's front section. A prototype invention of a motorbike towing hook was found in 2018. However, it has never been tested for function by an official motorbike dealer in Batam. The research method used is quantitative research by analyzing questionnaire data, which is processed by SPSS. The mechanical data population was 18 people with Slovin's method, a proportional random sample of 17 samples. The analysis method for testing the validity (Bivariate Pearson) and reliability (Alpha Cronbach) was carried out to obtain the desired questionnaire data. Based on the calculation data, the validity value of rpearson = 0.701 is valid. In contrast, the calculation results of the reliability test are the results of rac = 0.864 with a sufficient level of reliability. The investigation data based on the perception method are valid and reliable. Therefore, this invention still requires improvements from design to manufacture before being mass-produced.
