Abstract

Nowadays electric vehicles begin to grow and are supported by improved battery
technology such as smaller size and capable of storing large amounts of energy. One type of
simple electric vehicle is an electric bicycle. This paper reviews the availability of batteries and
battery chargers for electric bicycles in Indonesia. The review includes a discussion on the
technical specifications, manufacturer, the vendor of the battery, and battery charger. The
survey produced a data consists of 117 batteries and 54 chargers and then processed to obtain
status on the availability in the domestic market. The information regarding the availability of
batteries and battery chargers for electric bicycles is expected to be used as a quick reference
for the community in choosing batteries and battery chargers for electric bicycles and can
provide an overview to stakeholders about the status of batteries and chargers in conducting
research and development of batteries and charging equipment for electric vehicles.
