One common question regarding motorcycles converted from petrol to electric is about warranties. The question is whether converted motorcycles have guarantees or warranties like new electric motorcycles. Abdul, a business operator from Dolland Motor Electric, explained that converted motorcycles still have warranties, although they do not cover all components. Furthermore, Tomy Huang, founder of Bintang Racing Team (BRT), explained that the warranty provisions for converted motorcycles are already regulated in the government’s technical guidelines. “Well, according to the regulation that I helped create in the technical guidelines (Juknis) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, warranties are provided for the main components,” he said. “Let me explain: the battery has a 3-year warranty or 1,000 charges. Second, the ECU or console has 2 years. Then, the BLDC or dynamo has 1 year. For other components, it’s 1 year,” Tomy stated. With this scheme, consumers actually do not need to worry about after-sales guarantees. Although different from new electric motorcycles from manufacturers, converted motorcycles still have protection, especially on crucial main components.
