Consumers are wary of buying in due to the price and a lack of charging facilities, said industry experts.
SINGAPORE: There were more electric motorcycles on Singapore’s roads in the past year, but the numbers remain low, and a majority were from firms looking to green their fleets.
Industry experts said consumers are wary of buying in due to the price and a lack of charging facilities. “I took up the e-motorbike course to familiarise with what is in the market, and what are the options that I have in the event I want to switch to an e-motorbike,” she said. Consumers said they are apprehensive about purchasing an electric motorcycle partly due to the price tag – they cost around 50 per cent more than their petrol-guzzling counterparts.
The firm said that despite the meagre number of electric motorcycles on the road at the moment, there is keen interest among businesses and within the riding community. Existing laws for electric motorcycles only state what types of vehicles can be used on roads and expressways.
