Don't Let Your Electric Motorcycle Battery Run Flat Too Often — Here's the Impact

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Honda has several electric motorcycle options for urban use, such as the Honda EM1 e, ICON e, and CUV e. The three models are designed for urban use with practical, comfortable, and emission-free riding characteristics. Technical Analyst at PT Wahana Makmur Sejati, the main Honda motorcycle dealer in the Jakarta-Tangerang area, Wahyu Budhi, said that the use of electric motorcycles still requires particular attention. ‘Honda’s electric motorcycles have a smooth and responsive pickup,’ Wahyu said in a press release on Saturday, 23 May 2026. ‘Therefore, users are advised to open the throttle gradually and keep their riding pattern stable to make battery power usage more efficient and the journey comfortable,’ he added. Here are some ways to keep Honda electric motorcycles safe and comfortable: 1. Use the throttle gradually. Avoid pulling the throttle spontaneously or abruptly. An overly aggressive throttle opening can cause the battery power consumption to deplete more quickly. 2. Maintain the battery capacity. Aim to keep the battery charge between around 20% and 80%. Avoid leaving the battery completely empty too often, as this can affect the battery’s long-term lifespan. Keeping a steady speed helps power use become more efficient. Avoid repeated sudden acceleration and braking, as this can drain the battery faster. A smooth riding style also makes journeys feel more comfortable for everyday use.
