Electric motor Polytron Fox-R offers a different concept from other electric motor manufacturers. The manufacturer sells the motor and the battery is set to be rented for 3 years at a cost of IDR 9 million starting early next year.
This method is said to be quite attractive because potential consumers will get a relatively affordable price of the electric motors.
This electric motorcycle can be purchased for IDR 16.5 million off-road during the Indonesia Motorcycle Show (IMOS) in 2022. As for the transfer fee (BBN), it is estimated that Jakarta consumers will be charged an additional 2 million. IDR – IDR 3 million.
After that, consumers will pay IDR 250,000 per month for battery rental.
But will the additional expense of 250,000 IDR per month be more efficient than driving a conventional motorcycle?
Take for example a duck-type motorcycle with a 125cc engine without a touch of modification.
Used for everyday use, this bike costs a total of 240 thousand Rp. per month for fuel. However, this depends on the driving behavior and the mileage.
Meanwhile, if you use an automatic scooter with a 110cc engine, the monthly expense is Rp 200,000. This engine is usually used for daily activities.
Meanwhile, a 150cc scooter user admitted spending IDR 250,000 per month on fuel.
“I spend Rp. 200,000 to Rp. 250,000 in a month to fill up with gas,” Jamal said.
To rent a battery, of course, you will be charged 250 thousand Rp. The rate does not include the cost of recharging the battery per hour at the home electrical system.
The Polytron Fox-R electric motor enters the automatic scooter segment. This engine is said to have a top speed of 90km per hour.
The battery itself has a capacity of 3.7 kWh. It is said that once charging the battery is able to make this bike travel 130 km. The battery is said to be charged from zero to 80 percent with a runtime of 4 hours and 30 minutes.
