Hotels, Resorts, Villas & Holiday Rentals
In Indonesia the majority of people commute everyday in automobiles and many many motorcycles
The country has one of the largest motorcycle markets in the world. The government anticipates that Jakarta and Bali will serve as prototype EV cities, with many companies such as Grab & GoJek (GoTo) launching a fleet of electric vehicles in Indonesia in support of this initiative.
According to the Indonesian Ministry of Industry’s website, the country plans to have 400,000 electric vehicles on the road in 2025 and 5.7 million by 2035. A Presidential Decree outlining the steps the government intends to take to promote and hasten the implementation of battery electric vehicle initiatives in Indonesia was furthermore announced.
Why the change to electric scooters? Fun, Quiet, Efficient
Motorcycles have long been a favored mode of transport for anyone visiting or living in Indonesia, especially Bali. Riding a scooter allows simpler access to get to your destination, and have an easier time navigating through traffic than cars. However, motorized scooters and motor cycles are typically noisy and not especially environmentally friendly.
Unfortunately the number of loud motor cycles is rising, for some reasons, some tourists and foreign residents find it appropriate to drive loud scooters, that would never be allowed in their home country. This creates a lot of noise pollution, particularly in Canggu and Uluwatu it became a trend.
Please, for the sake of Bali and a better Bali experience for everyone:
DON’T RENT LOUD SCOOTERS AND MOTORBIKES!
Rent an Electric Scooter in Bali
Fortunately, a number of hotels and motorbike rental companies in Bali have begun to provide high-quality electric scooters that are both a lot of fun to ride and make a significant environmental impact. And no noise pollution.
There are several types and methods available, such as the well-known NIU scooter, whose battery must be taken with you and charged for 3-5 hours at a standard outlet. More advanced and much faster to get back on the road are the SMOOT Scooters that use a battery swap system, where you can simply change the battery in dedicated convenient stores and at their place.
