a proposal for Bali island case, where the number of motorbike is increasing rapidly, also any other places.. to make our world cleaner ;-)
This idea could be the closest path to push the Carbon emition down.
Why?
Motorbikes are very easy to get now, and also the peoples who had own a motorbike seem hard to switch to new electric bike due to 'the weakness' of the electric bike: it slower, and can not climb the road which more than 30 degree incline.. even if it promoted only cost 900 rupiahs (less than $0.9) for 70 Km ride.
To work on the motorbikes could involve the mass partisipation on environmental awareness, since they will experience it and may can open more options to combat global problems.
The idea is to create a kit to transform the existing regular petrol fueled motorbike in hybrid-electric.
The kit will including: replacing front wheel with electric motor wheel (the size ideally follow the original size of the existing wheel), the batteries, controller, key set modification, electrical wiring modification. It sounds easy, but need a carefull set up.. and it could become a good green-business ;-)
I experimented with an old motorbike (thanks to my cousin Raka Cahyadi who voluntary give his old bike to be modified). It is a Honda from year 1974. Of course it engine-wise not as clean as the new ones, but this could be a good example on how this transformation can lift up its environmental-performance so high: on flat and sloping down roads it run nicely ;-) and sooo SILENT..... the original combustion engine only turned on when the road is going up.. So you can imagine how much petrol -which emiting carbon- can be avoided to be burn out??
Thanks to my friend I Made Dwipayana (a.k.a Agus Bongkeng) who helped with the metal works with his crew.
The first model was shown to Rezal Kusumaatmaja and Made Setiawan PhD.
and our friends in our village. Thanks Koming for photographs.
The first prototype is still need to be developed. Our intention is to make one which really look 'as normal as possible'.. The next prototype will be on a new matic type. The next volunteer would be my brother ;-)
So, if it works for an old stuff, it must be will works better for the newer ones...
Can't wait to see motorbikes in Bali run FoR WD!
Less pollution.
Less Noises.
We should committed to do it NOW!
Peace from Bali

That's great, but I want to ask, what different this bike and another electric bike. 2 years ago my friend in our office sold electric bike also, the price is IDR 2 million. The bike keep the energy in an accu, and could charge like an ussual handphone. Could you explain more about the unique of this electric bike ? Thanks a lot.
