Jakarta, Indonesia – Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer TAILG has officially entered the Indonesian market, launching a modern electric motorcycle capable of traveling up to 150 kilometers on a single charge. The company is simultaneously initiating a national dealer recruitment drive to establish its distribution network, signaling a significant expansion into Southeast Asia.
TAILG showcased its products at the ASIABIKE exhibition held at JIEXPO Hall A2 B38 on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, displaying three key models: the Universe, S1, and S2.

This move comes as Indonesia’s electric vehicle market experiences rapid growth, attracting interest from global manufacturers.
According to a company statement, TAILG plans to open its first official store in Jakarta in May 2024 and is also laying the groundwork for the construction of a manufacturing facility within Indonesia. This commitment to local production underscores the company’s long-term investment in the Indonesian market.
The Universe model features TAILG’s Somersault Cloud Long-Endurance Technology Platform, enabling a range of 80 to 100 kilometers per charge. It also boasts a spacious storage compartment and Biometric dual lights, a design recognized with a German Red Dot Award. The TAILG S1 is positioned as a high-performance model, equipped with racing-grade technology and a stylish design, and features a 2000W and 72V35Ah battery.
Founded in 2003, TAILG Group integrates services across the entire electric vehicle industry chain, including research and development, production, sales, battery swapping, and vehicle replacement for two and three-wheeled vehicles. The company currently operates 30,000 stores worldwide and reports annual output exceeding 15 million vehicles. Indonesia is a key market in TAILG’s global expansion strategy, as highlighted in the company’s official website.
This expansion by TAILG reflects a broader trend of Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers targeting the burgeoning Indonesian market.
