Looking at the data, the roughly 400% growth in Indonesian electric bike sales in 2024 is a number that can't be ignored. Technically, it matters a great deal that talent who built expertise in automotive EV development is entering two-wheelers. Set sentiment aside and look at the numbers — it's inevitable that the world's largest two-wheeler market becomes the main battlefield for electrification. OMOWAY's challenge is symbolic of that.

If this is the same company behind that OMO X self-balancing prototype from the other article, I still can't shake the worry it's more hype than substance.

If the self-balancing feature actually makes it to mass production, that would give it real technical backing beyond just being a headline grabber.

A former XPeng co-founder moving into motorcycles — curious how much of that four-wheel EV know-how actually translates to two wheels.

Electric motorcycle sales in Indonesia up 400% year-over-year in 2024 — jumping in during that kind of growth is perfect timing.
