After launching the Honda EM1 e: electric scooter in Japan and in Europe, Team Red determined that Indonesia was the next market it wanted to test. Given the fact that around 85 percent of Indonesian households own at least one motorcycle as of 2022, and that around 125.27 million motorbikes are currently zooming around the country, it’s no wonder that Honda sees potential.
While electric motorbikes don’t yet make up a huge percentage of Indonesian two-wheelers on the road in August 2023, the country is currently in a period of transition. Back in 2021, Indonesian government officials announced plans to become a nation of fully electric vehicles no later than 2050.
