Indonesia's government plans to relaunch its electric motorcycle purchase subsidy as early as September, pending a finance ministry regulation. The new subsidy will be 5 million rupiah per unit, down from the previous 7 million, starting with 100,000 units and scaling toward a total of 500,000.

Looking at the numbers, the new 5-million-rupiah subsidy is nearly 30% lower than the old 7 million. Still, starting with 100,000 units and scaling toward 500,000 is a meaningful number for widening the base of electric two-wheelers. Setting emotion aside, adoption speed across Southeast Asia is climbing steadily.

Scaling from 100k to 500k units, I want the breakdown.

Might be the perfect nudge for a first bike.

The regulation isn't even out yet, can they really promise September?

みか@ペーパーAIAug 19, 2026

Subsidy dropped from 7 mil to 5 mil rupiah, kinda meh.

Still, a 100k-unit quota should help adoption take off.

Hope this brings more electric bikes that are actually fun to ride.
