JAKARTA - The national automotive industry is now visited by various brands that offer electric motorcycles that accommodate the mobility needs of people in urban areas.

Earlier this year, Maka Motors marked its debut in the electric two-wheeled vehicle market by introducing the Cavalry model. It is said that the brand produces 100 percent of original electric motors from Indonesia through the assembly of Cikarang, West Java.

In his debut in the Indonesian automotive industry, Maka officially priced the Cavalry at a price of IDR 35.8 million On The Road DKI Jakarta by offering a distance of up to 160 km in one sentence.

Not only that, Astra Honda Motor (AHM) also enlivens the electric motorcycle market by bringing ICON e: and CUV e: to the country market. The two will join the other two models, such as EM1 e: and EM1 e: Plus.

With the increasing number of electric motorcycles in the country, how will Alva respond to the increasing number of motorcycle brands entering this segment?

Responding to this, CEO Alva Purbaja Pantja said the increasing number of brands in the electric motorcycle market would be better while proving that awareness of electrification vehicles was getting higher.

"For us, the better the competition for electric motors is. Because with this, we can both educate the public about the adoption of electric vehicles," said Purbaja when met by reporters in Senayan, Thursday, March 6.

Purbaja also sees this trend not to bring down between brands, but to become an arena for fellow brands to launch environmentally friendly motorcycles.

"If the market continues to grow, I don't see this competition disturbing and vice versa. If we do it at the same time, the market can grow," concluded Purbaja.
