Abstract:: Shared bikes have some properties of public products, while also facing negative externalities. In order to regulate the behaviors of users of shared bikes, the credit supervision mechanism and government supervision as well as other solutions have been proposed. However, the relevant research is too policyoriented, and credit supervision mechanisms established by shared bike companies such as Mobike have been ineffective in implementation. This paper will use the prospective theory of behavioral economics and limited rational model for empirical analysis, simulate the situation of the public’s use and damage of shared bikes in real life through economic behavioral experiments, and collect behavioral data for thorough analysis of the effect of credit supervision mechanism on regulating the behaviors of shared bike users. Meanwhile, participants are surveyed in questionnaire before and after experiment, and the data of SP and RP are compared and analyzed. The result shows that the introduction of credit supervision effectively regulates the behavior of users, with the mechanism in negative context being more binding on user behavior, and its effect being better after adding realtime feedback than having no realtime feedback mechanism in the credit supervision mechanism. 
