Oyika has created a battery swapping service that turns petrol-powered motorbikes into electric vehicles (EVs). Oyika supplies charging stations that work for e-bikes, cars, and tuk-tuks, helping to keep accessibility high and installation resources low. The service works across brands, with owners of almost any type of motorcycle able to make the change to an electric system. As an added function, the batteries provide an additional lighting resource for use at night. To help make the transition to electric power as easy as possible, Oyika bundles services for a monthly fee. The company’s plans include a range of battery sizes and charging volumes. Users pay-per-use or sign up for weekly prepaid options or monthly postpaid subscriptions. The variety of options available are designed to appeal to working individuals as well as businesses small and large.

Asian cities have a high number of motorbikes on the roads. In Thailand, Between 83-87% of households own motorcycles in Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The sheer number of these vehicles on the road contribute to ongoing air pollution problems in many urban areas.

Oyika recently received funding from the Southeast Asia Clean Energy Facility (SEACEF) via Singapore-based Clime Capital investment firm. This will help Oyika focus on expanding its market reach in Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Further development of the technology is ongoing, and the company plans to introduce its services in additional countries in the future.
