Project Dynamo is ION Mobility’s take on the TVS X, which is TVS Motor’s premium flagship crossover electric vehicle introduced earlier this year. This project aims to meet the demands of Indonesian riders who value speed and performance while embracing the eco-friendly aspects of electric vehicles.
Why It Matters: Electric motorcycles designed under Project Dynamo will cater to the specific needs and preferences of Indonesian motorcyclists, ensuring they embody unique features that define the ION brand.
Singapore-based startup ION Mobility develops electric motorcycles and related technologies. It aims to facilitate the transition of motorcycle riders in Indonesia and Southeast Asia from traditional petrol-powered vehicles to electric ones.
