Budi Setiyadi, chairman of Indonesia's electric motorcycle industry association Aismoli, said batteries can account for up to 30% of an electric motorcycle's price. Some makers are now separating vehicle and battery ownership, offering the battery on a rental basis instead. For the Polytron Fox 350, that cuts the price from 28.5 million rupiah with the battery included to 16.5 million rupiah under the rental scheme, a difference of 12 million rupiah.

Look at the data — batteries making up 30% of a vehicle's price tells you everything. Separating ownership into a rental isn't emotional reasoning, it's a rational design to improve price elasticity. A 12-million-rupiah gap is a genuinely persuasive number, technically speaking.

For that money you could probably get a nicer gas bike instead.

Splitting ownership like this seems good from a recycling standpoint too.

12 million rupiah is a big gap, the rental option is clearly the more realistic choice.

But over the long run, which option actually costs less in total?

Battery being 30% of the vehicle price is a bigger share than I expected.
