Asiabike Jakarta 2025 closes with bigger crowds and clearer green ambitions

KUALA LUMPUR: Asiabike Jakarta 2025 wrapped up recently after six full days of business, test rides, and market talk — confirming once again that Southeast Asia’s electric mobility push is gaining serious traction.

Co-hosted with the PERIKLINDO Electric Vehicle Show (PEVS), this year’s edition wasn’t just bigger in size — it was louder, more focused, and far more connected.

Held at the Jakarta International Expo (JIExpo), the event pulled in 12,960 visitors from 20 countries, and saw participation from over 140 exhibitors covering everything from electric bikes and motorcycles to batteries, EV charging systems, and complete mobility ecosystems. Simply put: if you had something to show in electric mobility, this was the place to be.

And it wasn’t just a showcase — it was a deal-making hub. According to Messe Frankfurt, about 100 business matching sessions took place during the event, many leading to ongoing talks and factory visits. Estimated potential orders? Roughly USD 382,000 — mostly for e-bikes, e-motorcycles, and EV charging gear.

“We are delighted to see the solid performance of Asiabike Jakarta’s second edition. This year, the fair welcomed a notable increase in visitor delegations, reflecting the growing demand for sustainable transport solutions in Indonesia and Southeast Asia,” said Edward Che, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd.
“Once again, the event has provided extraordinary value by offering regional market insights, policy and consumer trends, while also connecting global exhibitors with local partners to strengthen industry networks and sales channels.”

Local Interest, global pressure

This year’s opening ceremony wasn’t just for show either. It had real presence from government officials — including Mr Amirulloh from the Ministry of Transportation and Mr Rakhmat Yulianto from the Ministry of Investment — suggesting that what used to be a niche segment is now firmly on the national radar.

China, unsurprisingly, had a big footprint. Companies from Wuxi, Xuzhou, and others came with full product lines — from sleek electric two-wheelers to utility-focused three-wheelers — and walked away with serious leads. Buyers from 13 countries, including Cambodia and Pakistan, were seen walking the halls, many of them looking to secure distribution deals or tech partnerships.

“In the first two days of the fair, our products generated significant interest – with about 80% of inquiries becoming serious partnership leads,” said Ms Fancy Chen of Xuzhou Keya Electromechanical Co Ltd.

Vietnam’s Before All called the fair "invaluable," and China’s Xuzhou Ouwang says demand for three-wheelers in Indonesia is rising fast. Others, like Jiangsu Risingsun, pointed to the country’s tropical climate as a perfect match for their EV tyres.

Visitors Weren’t Just Browsing

Several first-time visitors walked in expecting a product display — and left with business cards, factory tour invites, and strategic insights.

“I had fruitful meetings with several factories,” said Phyrom Vichethdara from Cambodia.
“I was impressed by the robust community and government cooperation at the fair,” added Umer Saeed Khan of Khan Baba Enterprise in Pakistan.
“It was an eye-opening experience,” said Mr Eka Ersetya Kinding from Pengembang Indonesia, who’s looking to use electric mobility solutions in underserved regions.

Talks that didn’t pull punches

The “ABJ Ultimate Ride 2025” programme ran alongside the exhibition, delivering no-fluff, industry-relevant insights. Forum sessions tackled hard topics: global trade tension, certification roadblocks, and the reality of EV adoption in Southeast Asia.

“Promoting EV adoption is challenging due to concerns about range and reliability,” said Edmund Araga of AFEVA, who pushed for more consumer education to build trust.
“This is a pivotal moment for Asian and Chinese EV manufacturers to expand into new markets,” added Wanxinda Group Chairman, Riling Chen.

A growing platform with more to prove

Asiabike Jakarta is still young, but it’s becoming hard to ignore. Organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, PERIKLINDO, Dyandra Promosindo, and several trade and export bodies from China, it positions itself as the Southeast Asian counterpart to Europe’s Eurobike — but with more two-wheelers, more utility-focused mobility, and a sharper eye on where the next wave of adoption will come from.

With public-private support deepening and regional interest rising, ABJ 2025 wasn’t just a trade show — it was a real-time snapshot of how Indonesia and its neighbours are gearing up for a cleaner, more connected transport future.
