Indonesia's government is reviving a subsidy program for electric motorcycle buyers, cutting the planned amount to 3 million rupiah (about $170) from an earlier 1.5 million rupiah proposal, covering up to 1 million bikes. Registrations fell 28.6% after a previous 7 million rupiah subsidy ended, and the government is targeting 13 million electric motorcycles by 2030.

What the data shows says it all: registrations dropped 28.6% the moment the subsidy ended. Technically speaking, in a market where batteries and charging infrastructure are still immature, price support translates directly into adoption. Numbers, not emotion, say 13 million units won't happen without continued backing. I'll be watching how the next policy is designed.

I wonder how much 3 million rupiah actually is in yen.

The 2030 target of 13 million bikes always sounds ambitious on paper.

Isn't India or Vietnam adopting faster? Indonesia's policy keeps flip-flopping.

3 million rupiah is less than half the previous amount — can that really move a million bikes?

That's a big cut from the previous 7 million rupiah — honestly a tough number.

A 28.6% drop the moment subsidies ended says it all — no point without continuity.
