Why The Automotive Future Is Electric

Electric motorcycles in Malaysia are all about quiet rides and eco-friendliness, thanks to their battery-powered engines. They're quieter and greener compared to regular motorcycles with internal combustion engines. Here are a few key features you'll love about electric motorcycles:

Affordable To Run

Sure, buying an electric bike might cost you more upfront, but hear this: they're a breeze to maintain. With fewer parts and longer battery life, you'll save several pretty pennies on maintenance.

Smooth Sailing

Ever dreamt of riding in peace without the rumble of an engine? Electric motorcycles give you just that. They're smooth, quiet, and super easy to handle. There are no gears to fuss over, and they're comfy, too, thanks to their lower centre of gravity.

Loaded With Smart Features

Electric bikes might be available for some time, but they are definitely not stuck in the past. The EV market is a quick adopter of the latest tech and features. These babies come packed with smart tech, ranging from smart grids to AI-powered health checks. It's like riding a futuristic dream.

Eco-warrior Approved

When you choose an electric motorcycle, you're saying yes to Mother Earth. They run on renewable energy, emit zero exhaust fumes, and help keep our planet green and clean.

Easy Charging

Forget the hassle of fuel stops. Just plug in your bike, and in a few hours, you're good to go. Sure, it takes a bit longer than filling up a tank, but with some planning, it's a breeze.

Wallet-friendly Maintenance

Yeah, electric bikes might dent your bank account at first, but trust us, they're a steal in the long run. With fewer parts to oil and replace, EV maintenance is a breeze.

Still A Bit Pricey

Okay, let's be real. Electric motorcycles can be a bit pricey upfront. But with more folks hopping on the green train, prices are bound to drop soon.

Good And Bad Things About EV

  • Advantages
  • Disadvantages
  • Zero Carbon Footprint

    Electric motorcycles emit no carbon or other harmful gases, making them a clean mode of transportation.

  • Low Cost Of Ownership And Easy Maintenance

    With fewer moving parts, electric motorcycles require less maintenance. While electric bikes may have a higher upfront cost, their overall running costs, whether charged at home or public stations, tend to be cheaper than refuelling traditional bikes.

  • Applauding Performance

    Electric motors offer quicker responsiveness, providing enhanced agility and torque. Moreover, electric motorcycles operate quietly, reducing noise pollution and offering a more relaxed riding experience.

  • Government Subsidies

    Many states in Malaysia offer rebates and tax incentives to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles, including motorcycles, promoting eco-friendly transportation choices.

  • Need For Charging Network

    The electric vehicle charging infrastructure is still in its early stages, making it challenging to recharge motorcycles outside of the home, especially in rural areas and during long-distance trips.

  • Limited Range

    Electric motorcycles typically offer shorter driving ranges compared to their traditional counterparts, which can be a significant drawback, particularly for long-distance travel.

  • Charging Time

    While it only takes about 5 minutes to refuel a conventional bike, even with rapid charging, electric bikes require a minimum of 30 minutes to reach a significant charge.

  • Battery Replacement Expense

    While an electric motorcycle's battery pack may only need replacement once during the vehicle's lifetime, it can be a costly affair when necessary.

How To Maintain Your EV’s Battery

  • Avoid Extreme Temperatures

    Lithium-ion batteries are sensitive to temperature extremes, so park your bike in the shade in hot climates and a closed garage in colder regions.

  • Optimal Charging Levels

    It's best to avoid keeping the battery at full charge all the time. Lithium-ion batteries last longest when kept between 20% to 80% state of charge (SOC).

  • Limit Fast Charging

    While convenient, frequent fast charging can generate excessive heat, which can degrade the battery over time.

  • Storage Recommendations

    If you plan not to use the bike for an extended period, charge the battery to around 80% and store it. Avoid leaving the battery at 0% charge for prolonged periods, as it can reduce its lifespan.

  • Avoid Deep Discharges

    Draining the battery to 0% frequently can significantly reduce its lifespan. To maximize its longevity, try to avoid letting the battery's SOC fall below 20%.

  • This scooter perfectly meets my needs

    The Voltguard from Yadea is a simple scooter, and I've made my decision this is going to be my first scooter. I have always been a fan of two wheelers, but soon realised that dreaming of one and owning one is much different. The prices of motorcycles and scooters are quite hefty and this is currently what I can afford.

  • The motorcycle of the year, in my opinion

    Why is it the motorcycle of the year, in my opinion? Because it is an EV. That’s all the reason I need considering how hot last summer was.
