This fact is recognized by Hendra, CEO of PT Roda Maju Bahagia, a manufacturer of Element bicycles.

“Before the pandemic, we felt that there had been an increase in Element sales since Lebaran in 2019. The sales graph had increased, never dropped,” Hendra said.
“Indeed, last March, when the PSBB (Large-Scale Social Restrictions) began, the graph declined. We were confused, do people want to ride bikes or not?”
“But in April the graph exploded again, and after Lebaran continued to increase,” said Hendra.
Hendra recognizes all types produced by Element selling well on the market. And, Troy is one of the most sought after prospective consumers.
“Because demand has suddenly burst, we cannot do anything. But we will continue to increase production,” he said.
Related to that effort, Hendra claimed that the Troy variant has been boosted by up to 200 percent of production for this.
“And we have already told this to the public,” said Hendra.
Price
Element Troy-In addition, continued Hendra, in order to maintain price stability, Element always announced the price list of their bicycle products.
“Some importers and other manufacturers are mischievous and raise prices. They reasoned spare parts hard to come by, and so on. But we did not take the opportunity, “said Hendra.
“We are committed that the price of Element bikes does not go up, but the capacity of the goods is indeed not much,” he continued.

Apart from that, Hendra realized that the reach of the appeal had limits.
Especially if it is associated with high demand and low supply, then prices will tend to increase at the trader level.
So the price fixing can only apply to consumers who buy bikes directly to Element.
“For other traders, we cannot control because bicycles are not the same as cars and motorbikes that have correspondence,” Hendra said.
“In my opinion, traders who raised the price of bicycles during the pandemic were not grateful. We are very grateful because the bicycle business is still busy,” he continued.
