IMOTO launches first locally-made electric motorcycle in Indonesia

IMOTO has introduced Indonesia’s first locally-produced electric motorcycle. Made with more than 75 percent of components sourced locally, VISION.ev is set to hit the market in 2025.

The new motorcycle will be manufactured at IMOTO’s factory in Cikarang, West Java, with an initial capacity of 1,000 units per month.

VISION.ev was fully designed and engineered by young Indonesians in just 2.5 years, highlighting the electric vehicle (EV) capabilities of young talents in the country.

“With the tagline ‘Made in Indonesia, for the World,’ VISION.ev reflects IMOTO’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 Domestic Component Level (TKDN),” said Antony Lesmana, Co-founder of IMOTO Indonesia.

A fast-charging battery technology allows the battery to go from 20 to 80 percent in just 30 minutes. With a 5.7kWh battery capacity, it can travel up to 160km on a single charge, and has a maximum speed of 105 kmh.

Sporting a futuristic and ergonomic design, the electric motorcycle also has advanced digital features such as a touch screen, infotainment system, keyless entry and applications for tracking, geofencing, and fleet management.

“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,” said Doddy Lukito, Co-founder of IMOTO Indonesia.

To ensure ease of use, IMOTO is also developing an extensive fast-charging network of public fast-charging stations at strategic points in and between cities, with 200 charging points planned in the first phase of the rollout.
