I was recently in Beijing and saw many motorbikes vehicles which are actually electronic bikes. The battery life can last about 2-3 days or 60km of travelling at the speed of up to 60km/hour.
Am thinking of getting one in Jakarta.....

I've seen quite a few and I understand they are treated as pushbikes so no regulations.
Of course, I could be wrong.
thanks Mas Fred
pushbikes - means no licence required even though it looks and run like a motorbike?
I think you should be fine with that kind of bike (no need to have a license). Ive seen many Indonesians make their own modified bikes, motorbikes, motor-becak, etc. And they don't seem to have any problem with that.
But, just so you know, the best of my knowledge, you dont need a license (SIM) if your vehicle's speed is under 35km/hour. I once read online news about the electronic bike, I remember the chief of Transportation Department in Jakarta, Nurachman, stated that even electronic motor belonged to electronic bicycle category, not a motor vehicle, so you dont even need license plate document for that.
Though, if you take a look at the license law, there should be SIM type D for this kind of vehicle. However, the D SIM hasn't been done effectively so far in Indonesia.
wow. thanks!
Carol, do you know where to get one of those in Jkt? I think its still kinda rare. Unlike in China, you can see them everywhere.

Cool, tell me abt it (price, brand etc) when you have it
Number of e-bike sellers in Jakarta area. I bough one e-bike from Suzhou China and bring it here, and custom was asking motorbike related custom tax around 700 USD. Price what I spend to buy the bike in Suzhou China was only 500 USD. However my moving company took the hit, since they said in advance no such taxes exists!
Are these mopeds?
Ace hardware sell them.
A good google will probably find you more retailers.
