New Motorcycle Brands Shake Up Indonesian Market in 2025

Electric Vehicle Expansion

The Indonesian motorcycle industry witnessed significant activity in 2025 with the arrival of several new brands, particularly in the electric vehicle (EV) segment. This development has expanded consumer choices and intensified competition in the market. Two notable newcomers, Dubbs and Wedison, were officially introduced at the GIIAS 2025 automotive exhibition.

Dubbs: Specializing in Electric Commercial Vehicles

Dubbs, a Chinese manufacturer with over two decades of experience, has entered the Indonesian market with a focus on electric vehicles. Their product lineup includes electric motorcycles, three-wheelers, and light commercial vehicles designed for operational and logistics needs. This strategic focus positions Dubbs to capitalize on the growing demand for eco-friendly commercial transportation solutions in Indonesia.

Wedison: Pioneering Fast-Charging Technology

Wedison has made a significant impact by introducing what they claim is Indonesia's first fast-charging electric motorcycle. This technological innovation could potentially address one of the key concerns in EV adoption: charging time. By offering faster charging capabilities, Wedison aims to enhance the practicality and appeal of electric motorcycles for Indonesian consumers.

Market Implications

The entry of these new brands into the Indonesian motorcycle market is expected to have several effects:

1. Increased competition in both conventional and electric motorcycle segments
2. Expanded consumer choices, particularly in the EV category
3. Accelerated technological innovation, driven by the introduction of new features like fast-charging
4. Potential market share redistribution among existing players

As the Indonesian government continues to promote the adoption of electric vehicles through various incentives and infrastructure development, the arrival of new brands like Dubbs and Wedison is timely. Their presence is likely to contribute to the growth of the EV market and push existing manufacturers to innovate further.
