Maka Cavalry Electric Motorcycle Launched with 160 KM Range and IP67 Water Resistance
According to company production plans reported by maka-motors.com, the domestic manufacturer manufactures the vehicle at its Cikarang facility in West Java, aiming for an output capacity of units annually to supply the expanding Indonesian urban mobility market.
The electric vehicle sector in Southeast Asia’s largest economy faces persistent hurdles regarding battery longevity and flood resilience during monsoon seasons. Corporate fleet managers and individual buyers alike require robust hardware that withstands severe weather without incurring catastrophic maintenance liabilities.
Powertrain Specifications and Energy Recovery Systems
Engineering data from maka-motors.com indicates that the Maka Cavalry features an electric motor generating a peak output of 12 horsepower alongside 251 Nm of torque. The machine achieves a 0 to 60 km/h acceleration sprint in 4.8 seconds, topping out at 105 km/h. Powered by a 4 kWh Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) battery pack, the motorcycle incorporates a hub-drive layout designed to optimize rear-wheel torque delivery.
Suaragarut.id notes that the powertrain system includes a dual-mode regenerative braking setup. The Hi-Regen mode actively converts kinetic braking friction back into electrical current, feeding energy directly into the LFP cells during deceleration.
All-Weather Durability and Flood Navigation
Monsoon floods present a major operational risk for electric two-wheelers operating across Indonesian metropolitan centers. Sumeks.disway.id reports that the Maka Cavalry holds an official IP67 certification for both its battery assembly and electric motor. This rating guarantees component protection against dust ingress and water submersion up to 60 centimeters for a duration of 30 minutes.
Automotive content creator Axel Croft, cited by Suaragarut.id, demonstrated the vehicle’s functional resilience by operating the motorcycle while partially submerged in water. This verified environmental tolerance minimizes downtime for commercial couriers navigating urban flood zones.
Cockpit Technology and Utility Infrastructure
The vehicle’s operator interface utilizes a full-color TFT digital display relaying battery percentages, operational temperatures, speed metrics, and remaining range estimators. According to Suaragarut.id, handlebar controls feature high/low beam switches, pass beams, hazard lights, turn indicators, reverse modes, and dual riding configurations emphasizing torque or regeneration.
Storage capacity reaches 20 liters beneath the seat, accommodating a standard helmet alongside the included charging hardware. The manufacturer packages two distinct charging units with each purchase: a standard slow charger and a fast-charging unit featuring automatic current termination upon full battery capacity.
