Indonesia’s IMOTO unveils electric motorcycle for global market

Indonesia-based smart electric mobility service provider IMOTO has introduced its electric motorcycle VISION.ev for global market.

IMOTO said in a statement on Tuesday that VISION.ev will be the first electric motorcycle in Indonesia with a target of achieving over 75 percent domestic component level (TKDN) and is set to hit the market in 2025.

“We hope that VISION.ev will accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles and strengthen Indonesia’s position in the global electric vehicle (EV) market,” said IMOTO Indonesia Co-Founder Antony Lesmana.

He said VISION.ev reflects the firm’s commitment to promoting the nation’s innovations to the international market.

“From the bike design to the fast-charging battery, everything is made locally, so that we can achieve the target of at least 75 percent of TKDN,” he added.

According to the statement, Indonesia is currently facing serious pollution issues, particularly in major cities, where the average person loses 2.5 years of life expectancy due to pollution.

The transportation sector is the largest contributor to this problem.

However, the country is at an EV inflection point, with EV adoption expected to grow by 80 percent in the next six years, and the market projected to exceed $20 billion.

A nationwide survey by PwC also found that 50 percent of respondents plan to purchase electric motorcycles within the next one to three years.

This shift toward electric motorcycles is driven by their eco-friendliness, quieter engines, lower maintenance costs, and increased government incentives.

“With the various advantages we offer in VISION.ev, we believe this environmentally friendly product will address key consumer concerns about EVs, such as fast charging,
battery life, long-distance capability, and performance,

“This will help accelerate EV adoption. VISION.ev is also the answer for those seeking innovation and sustainability in their driving experience,” said Doddy Lukito, IMOTO Co-Founder.

To ensure ease of use, IMOTO is also developing an extensive fast-charging ecosystem.

Public fast-charging stations will be installed at strategic points in cities and between cities, with 200 charging points planned in the first phase of the rollout, said the statement.

IMOTO also noted that its flagship electric motorcycles provide cutting-edge technology while promoting a sustainable lifestyle.

With the future of Indonesia’s automotive industry centered on electric vehicles, it said the firm is committed to ongoing innovation to develop products and services that
enable cost-effective, carbon-free mobility.

“We believe that IMOTO will become a Zero Carbon company by 2035 by continuing to develop fast-charging battery technology and environmentally-friendly products,” said Lesmana.

“Our commitment is to deliver clean, green, economical, and efficient mobility solutions for the people of Indonesia,

“In addition, IMOTO is committed to using local materials to support the domestic industry, create new jobs, and nurture local talent, all while developing global products in the EV sector,” he added.
