Maka Motors Launches Cavalry with a 160 Km Range

KatadataOTO – Maka Motors officially launched their first product, the Cavalry. This electric motorcycle comes with various attractions for customers in Indonesia.

Developed over three years, the model is claimed to have been adapted to the needs of road users. From design, range, to performance.

“In our internal research, the average person rides about 20 km a day. But there are also many people who use motorcycles for up to 120 km, so we developed this to meet that challenge," said Raditya Wibowo, CEO of Maka Motors this afternoon (15/01)

Maka Cavalry comes with an attractive design resembling a gasoline-powered motorcycle. Its appearance is quite sharp, especially at the front, thanks to the presence of a Projector LED lamp, making it more aggressive.

“For the design, we conducted a survey of motorcycle users in several major cities. From that, we found that people want a sporty look, so adjustments were made,” said Arief Fadillah, Co-founder & Chief Technology Officer of Maka Motors.

Charging is also claimed to be fast, taking only 60 minutes to go from zero to 80 percent.
