"We have stopped it for the public because the target has been achieved," he said.
Even though testing has been completed, Yamaha admits that it does not want to sell the Yamaha E01 electric motorbike, or any other type. Unlike the Honda brand, this brand also does not want to announce when sales of electric motorbikes will start.
"Maybe this is part of the introduction process, but in the end it's not for sale because we are more focused on the evaluation. What kind of electric motorbike is needed in Indonesia, is the E01 ideal? Or what kind of specs," explained Anton.
When will Yamaha sell electric motorbikes?
Anton denied the issue that Yamaha did not want to launch an electric motorbike because the market and buyers were few. According to him, currently Indonesian consumers are at the socialization stage.
According to him, time is needed for people to switch from using conventional motorbikes to electric motorbikes.
"Actually, consumers should be educated more deeply because changing the pattern of ordinary people using ICE to electric takes time. Even in the past it took time to just use injection, now everyone is using it," he said.
Anton feels that this process is being carried out. Apart from that, the government has also implemented a 0 emissions policy by 2050.
"This is one of the processes we are carrying out. But when it comes to selling it in Indonesia, there are no plans yet," he said again.
