Electric Scooters

[biomicrobe]

Its funny but lately I see more and more popping up here on Jakarta streets, those Chinese brands (very low quality)
Those brands aren't really lifting the electric movement up for Indonesia.
personally i like the concept, but in a place where the environment (Indonesia)
comes way behind economic and personal welfare, Dont get your hopes up!
This is a place where they give a subsidy on petrol, instead of taxing it.
So you will have to wait a couple of years, when even here the prices of Oil have skyrocketed!
then the market would be of interest to main public

yes biomicrobe , a very valid point you make indeed . But back to electric bikes ( and also cars for that matter ) the positives apart from better performance and reliablibity in the near future than our petrol counterparts ..., will most noticably be less smog on the streets and less noise ... I cant wait untill they are the norm on the roads .

Same here, smog on the streets here in Jakarta is unbearable, personally I would by 1 direct as long as the facilities* are in place.
