Why The Automotive Future Is Electric
Electric motorcycles run on electricity that is stored in the batteries which makes them quieter and more eco-friendly compared to their ICE (internal combustion engine counterparts. Here are some of its key features
Low Running Cost
Electric motorcycles cost more than regular motorcycles, however, they have the added advantage of low running and maintenance cost. Also, factors like longer battery life and green tax credits make them cost-effective.
Smooth & Silent Ride
Electric motorcycles provide the rider a smooth and silent driving experience, thus making them very easy and fun to ride. All thanks to the e-motor with fewer moving parts compared to the conventional motorcycles. Also, e-motorcycles do not have any gears which the rider has to worry about. They have a lower center of gravity which ensures better handling, responsiveness, and comfort.
Modern-Day Tech
When it comes to the latest tech and features, the electric motorcycle market adopts them enthusiastically with enthusiasm. So, riders can find the latest technological trends like seamless connectivity, AI-powered health checks, powerful batteries, smart grids, and more, on their ride.
Good For The Environment
By choosing to purchase an electric motorcycle, the buyers do their part to save and be gentle on the planet earth. Unlike conventional motorcycles, electric units run on 100% renewable energy and emit no exhaust fumes and greenhouse gasses.

How To Maintain Your EV’s Battery
-
Avoid Exposure To Extreme Temperature
Lithium-ion batteries are super sensitive to Extreme Temperatures (on either spectrum) as it can have a significant impact on the e-bike’s battery performance and life. In hotter regions, owners must try to park the vehicle in shade.
-
Do Not Fully Charge The Batteries At All Times
Conventional thinking tells you to keep your electric motorcycle’s battery at 100%. Avoid this practice unless you need to travel far.
-
Avoid Fast Chargers Unless Necessary
While fast charging offers great convenience when the battery is about to die, doing it frequently will wreak havoc on your batteries.
-
Maintain Optimal Battery State During Ideal State
It is not recommended to leave the EVs battery at 0 or 100 percent charge for a long period of time as it is more detrimental to the battery than regular partial discharge. In case you are planning to not use the vehicle for long, it is recommended to charge the battery to 80% and then put it into storage.
-
Do Not Drain The Battery To 0%
Draining your EVs battery to zero will drastically reduce the lithium ion battery’s life. It is recommended to never let the battery’s SOC fall down to 20% to enhance the e-bike’s battery life.

Can electric motorcycles be mass-produced in the Philippines?
The current market conditions don’t support mass production of electric motorcycles. The basic reason in this regard is the absence of charging infrastructure. Unless charging stations are set up, people won’t warm up to electric motorcycles. There are also other issues like readying the production equipment and educating people about clean energy.
What about the tax schemes?
Lawmaker Francis Pangilinan has proposed to exempt hybrid and electric vehicles from duties and taxes to encourage the manufacture, import and use of carbon-reducing vehicles. The department of energy too is crafting a framework to promote the growth of the Philippines EV industry. That aside, the department of trade and industry is mulling to streamline non-fiscal and fiscal incentives by coming up with a special program.
