Alva Owners Club Promotes Electric Motorcycles with Jakarta-Bali Touring Campaign

Alva Owners Club (AOC) has completed a challenging journey from Jakarta to Bali using electric motorcycles. This activity, named "The Yatra Balidwipa," is much more than an ordinary touring event. It serves as a powerful campaign to push Indonesian society towards adopting zero-emission vehicles.

A total of six riders participated in the expedition, riding across a distance of 1,170 kilometers within four days. They relied on two Alva Cervo and four Alva One electric motorcycles. The journey was designed to demonstrate the long-distance reliability of electric vehicles, showing that e-motorcycles are a viable alternative for intercity touring.

Highlighting Reliability and Comfort

The group departed from Jakarta and successfully navigated the entire route to Bali. Along the route, the team encountered various terrains and traffic conditions, proving the endurance and comfort offered by Alva electric motorcycles. According to data presented by AOC, using electric motorcycles for such trips is becoming increasingly practical as charging infrastructure develops across major roads.

Throughout the journey, riders were able to access General Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (SPKLU) and Alva’s own Boost Charge Stations at strategic points. This ensured that recharging was never an obstacle and minimized downtime. The synergy between EV manufacturers, user communities, and infrastructure providers is fundamental in making green mobility more accessible.

Environmental Impact and Carbon Savings

The main mission of the touring event was to promote the transformation toward environmentally friendly mobility. Every kilometer traveled using electric energy reduces carbon footprint and supports ecosystem preservation. Based on AOC’s calculations, the tour saved around 300 kilograms of CO₂ emissions compared to conventional motorcycles.

This amount of emission reduction is equivalent to the carbon absorption provided by 15-20 mature trees in a year. Such data illustrates the concrete advantages of switching to electric vehicles for both individual riders and the broader environment.

Support from Key Stakeholders

During a stop at the PLN headquarters in Yogyakarta, AOC members were welcomed by PLN’s President Director, Darmawan Prasodjo. He expressed strong appreciation for their campaign. Darmawan stated, "PLN, through our SPKLU facilities, is ready to support all electric motorcycle users throughout our network."

This direct endorsement from the national electricity company highlights Indonesia’s growing commitment to building a supportive ecosystem for electric vehicle adoption. Enhanced charging availability and active institutional participation are vital components for the widespread acceptance of e-mobility.

Economical Advantages for Users

Rizky Diansyah, the General Chairman of AOC, sees tremendous opportunities in the shift to electric motorcycles. He noted that wider public awareness of environmental issues has led many to seek greener, more cost-effective alternatives for daily commuting and long-distance travel.

Based on comparisons cited by AOC, the cost of refueling a gasoline motorcycle for a similar distance is up to four times higher than the price of electricity for charging an Alva e-motorcycle at an SPKLU. This offers an additional incentive for motorists to consider making the switch.

Strengthening Community Bonds

The tour also served as an opportunity for networking and strengthening community relationships. Riders made stops in multiple cities including Semarang, Surabaya, and Bali, taking time to connect with fellow AOC members and local chapters. The growing presence of the Alva Owners Club in more regions reflects increasing interest in electric mobility in Indonesia.

AOC plans to open new chapters as the community expands. The inclusive nature of the group is designed to bring together enthusiasts who wish to contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable urban lifestyle.

Collaborations and Added Value

Upon reaching Bali, the touring group collaborated with Detroit Motorwash and Rumah Tanjung Bungkak creative community hub. This partnership provided additional benefits to AOC members, such as vehicle care activities and networking opportunities. The journey concluded with a routine maintenance check at the Alva Experience Center Bali.

Such collaborations reinforce the idea that electric motorcycle ownership is not only about technological innovation, but also about lifestyle and community empowerment. It aligns with AOC’s goal of fostering a supportive environment for all users.

The Jakarta-Bali tour is a testament to the potential of electric vehicles and community-driven movements in promoting green transportation. Data from Alva reveals that since its inception, the company has supported carbon emission reductions exceeding 2,000 tons, highlighting tangible environmental impacts.

Alva is also targeting expansion of its charging network, with plans to operate up to 200 charging points. This ongoing investment underscores the brand’s dedication to taking electric mobility beyond urban borders and into broader Indonesian society.

For individuals interested in sustainable commuting, electric motorcycles now offer both practical and economic advantages. The involvement of stakeholders like PLN, infrastructure providers, and community networks ensures that the journey to a greener future is fully supported in Indonesia.
