“Public enthusiasm for the Maka Cavalry has been very high since its launch,” said Raditya Wibowo, CEO & Founder of Maka Motors on Thursday (13/02).

Moreover, public interest in electric two-wheeled vehicles in the country continues to grow.
“Our presence at IIMS 2025 is an important step to introduce the Maka Cavalry more widely, while also strengthening our position in the Indonesian automotive industry,” he continued.
