Calculating The Details Of Electric Motorbike Conversion Cost, Prefer To Buy New Or Convert?

YOGYAKARTA - The Indonesian government continues to intensify the conversion of petrol motorbikes into electric motorbikes. The government even has a proposal to provide incentives or subsidies for electric motorbikes. Many people are wondering what the details of the cost of converting an electric motor are.

The plan is to have two forms of subsidies for converting electric motorbikes, namely subsidies for users or subsidies for conversion workshops. This was conveyed directly by the Center for Surveys and Tests for Electricity, New, Renewable Energy, and Energy Conservation, Directorate General of EBTKE, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources

The provision of incentives is intended to encourage the community to immediately convert fuel-based motorbikes into electric-powered motorbikes. Even so, there are still many people who are not interested because they are concerned about the amount of money that must be spent. So how much does it cost to convert an electric motor?
