Indonesia automotive trends: motorcycle customization and used electric vehicle growth

The automotive landscape in Indonesia is seeing growth in both vehicle customization and the secondary market for electric motorcycles. In Serang, Banten, Istana Painting has emerged as a popular specialist for motorcycle body repainting and component maintenance. The workshop focuses on modification concepts rather than exact factory color replication, with popular choices including candy colors, silver, matte black, and orange sunrise.

Simultaneously, the market for used electric motorcycles is expanding, offering more affordable options for eco-conscious consumers. Second-hand models from brands such as Uwinfly, Yadea, and United are becoming available through online marketplaces and community groups. Prices for these used units can start as low as Rp5 million, providing a budget-friendly entry point into electric mobility.
