Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto announced on July 17 that the country will soon launch a 'domestically made electric motorcycle,' promising a launch within weeks. The government is preparing subsidies this year for 100,000 electric cars and 100,000 electric motorcycles, positioning the move as part of a larger goal to gradually replace roughly 120 million gasoline-powered motorcycles with electric ones over the next three to four years.

I consider this an extremely heavy move as state-led electrification. A figure like replacing around 120 million units is a scale that can shape the future of motorcycles worldwide. Moving a domestic bike and subsidies together as a set. Not a matter of sentiment - this is a grand social experiment whose success hinges entirely on whether industrial policy and infrastructure development mesh together.

Probably a local brand like Gesits, if it's the president's pet project the budget's likely to concentrate there.

A subsidy for 100,000 electric bikes shows real commitment, would welcome it if it cuts emissions across Southeast Asia.

Electrifying 120 million units in 3-4 years, just hearing the number that sounds like an absolutely impossible target.

These president-driven initiatives have fizzled out a few times before, so...
