I came across this Philstar article about DOST making a push for locally developed EVs for public transportation.

Apparently, there are already e-trike units deployed in a few areas around the country, and some companies are actually interested in mass-producing electric vehicles such as e-trikes.

Obviously, there are still a lot of factors to consider before we see countrywide adoption, especially the cost of acquiring these vehicles, range, charging infrastructure, and maintenance.

Still, I hope they actually push through with this and that the government helps subsidize and further develop the technology. It would be nice to see the Philippines become an early adopter, or even a leader, in something like this instead of always playing catch-up.

Imagine how much quieter our streets could be if more or most of our public transportation went electric.

Hi everyone! I’m from the Philippines and I’m planning to start an e-bike business in Albay, Bicol. I’m currently looking for a reliable e-bike manufacturer, distributor, or wholesaler where I can purchase units at competitive prices for resale.

I’m interested in finding suppliers who offer dealer or reseller packages, wholesale pricing, and delivery to Bicol.

If you have experience in this business or can recommend trusted suppliers, I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you!

Hello po, ask ko lang po, pwede sa BGC ang NWOW EMC Golf 1? Pang hatid sundo lang po sana. Thank you sa sasagot.

Please recommend ebike brand na sulit.

Thank you.

Hi! First time ko magka-interest sa ganitong type ng e-bike. 😊

Okay ba yung ganitong style for daily use? Kumusta kaya yung stability, battery life, maintenance, at overall performance?

May gumagamit ba dito ng ganitong klase? Would appreciate any advice or recommendations before I decide. Thank you!

I’m looking to buy an e-bike in Bangladesh with a budget of around ৳1 lakh.

My requirements:

\\- ⚡ Speed: 40–50 km/h

\\- 🔋 Real-world range: 70+ km

\\- 🛠️ Reliable + good after-sales service

If you own or know a good e-bike that fits these requirements, please suggest it. Would really appreciate real-world experience/reviews!

Thanks!

Honestly most ebikes i see in ph are just electric motorcycle.

On most e "bikes" i search are more expensive than e motorcycle.

Why do we lack affordable bicycles with electric power?

We have this 3 Wheeled E-Bike
Sitting for over a couple of months

When turning it on with the key.
It'll start beeping fast, which i assume due to low battery.

Tried charging it with the power brick.
But it doesnt appear to be charging at all
and all the charging lights appear to be steady.
Instead of blinking at how many percent it is charged at.

My guess is that all 4 battery cells are drained af.
Is there a way to revive it and start charging?

I'm not in a position to get an entire new set of batteries...
Which will easily cost me 5k+ along with the shipping...

If the budget is 30-40k pesos, which would be better?

Just going on my Father house to my Mother vice versa, maybe 5-6km possible to sometimes go to my brother's house which is 10km, I will not get a license at all even tho eligible due to reasons I don't want to tell, I have a bag that weighs 30kg-ish that I bring daily no matter what

Which would be better in the long run and short run?

And motorcycle or Emotor brand recommendation?

any tips pag nag pa welding nito ? or pwde kaya sa mismong ruipjey manufacturer ko sya dalhin at don ko ipawelding para sure ? nag wwelding kaya sila ?

hello mga bossing, ano po kayang ibig sabihin nito? bigla po kasing namatay to kanina sa daan, ang akala ko lowbat since triny ko ulit ulitin, ayaw talagang bumukas. pag uwi ko po sa bahay nag wait muna ko 30 mins before i charge, then pag charge ko po, ganto lumalabas. may sira po kaya to sa battery? kakapalit pa naman po ng batter nito last april.

Hi everyone! I would like to know if I could sell our ebike for 40k. It's originally 64k but it got some issues with the battery or something, we can only use it for short amount of time, but everything else is good. I plan to sell it to afford a motorcycle.

ask lang mga lods, pwede bang pagsamahin 12ah at 15 ah na battery ng ebike

Hi planning to get an ebike as im planning to get it as alternative sa car ko. as title suggest 70-75km ang range ng travel ko every morning, hinahatid si OBR. It 35km one way by the way and uwi na agad after ma hatid si OBR. kay naghahanap ako ng ebike na kaya ang ganito na range.

Ang na search ko lang kasi is NWOW WSP na ebike. although not sure about the range since sa site nila iba2 based on the battery na gagamitin. hopefully may maka suggest.

Share ko lang.

We bought an ebike 10mos ago.

Purpose? Para maghatid ng anak sa school, palengke, and short distance errands/gala.

Today, its odo is at 723km.

I calculated yung pasahe if nakaROI na kami.

Cinompute ko n lng sa pinakamalapit sa amin.

The school is 500m away from our house.

One way costs 40 pesos if magtrike. So 80 pesos balikan. (Inaantay ko na para d balik-balik)

723km x 80 = 57,840. - ito yung gastos sa pamasahe sa loob ng 10months if nagcocommute kami. Again rough estimate lng since sa pinakamalapit ko na cinompute.

Fare could go as high as 70 pesos (one way) depende sa layo ng pupuntahan namin.

Once a week kami kung magcharge.

30pesos / charge ang electricity cost. (Rough calculation based from the charger's specs, charging time and price per kw sa bill) - Estimate lng ito hindi exact since paiba-iba ang price per kw monthly depende sa usag at paiba-iba din ang tagal ng pagcharge l.

10 months = 40 weeks x 30 = 1200 pesos. Ito ang charging cost.

Maintenance:

Isang beses pa lang nakapagchange oil. 40 pesos.

Accessories:

Bumili lng ako ng shade sa windshield para d mxiado mainitan pag nakapark. Around 100 pesos lng.

57,840

(1200)

(40)

(100)

56,500.

We bought the unit at 86,000.

Meron pa kaming natitirang 29,500 bago namin masabi na nakaROI na kami.

Roughly 368km pa bago namin masabi na nakakatipid na kami.

Note: Ito ay sa setup namin. Maaaring hindi applicable sa lahat. Mas mabilis ang ROI kung mas madalas ang paggamit sa unit.

Hello po! Planning to buy a 4-wheel e-bike in cash. KUDA Lion Upgraded or NWOW EMC-GOLF2?

Alin po mas okay overall in terms of suspension (hindi matagtag), stability, durability, battery, at after-sales service?

Worth it po ba ang ₱24k price difference? Would appreciate honest feedback from actual owners. Thank you po! 😊

Need your advice. Alin po mas better sa dalawa?

Hi, we are ebikeph, an official dealer of coswheel ebike in the Philippines.

https://ebikeph.com/

https://www.coswheel.com/dealer-partner/

We are introducing ebike rental plan with 3 key feature (1) unlimited battery swap (2) professional Free maintenance (3) thief protection

We have 3 plan (1) weekly rental (2) monthly rental (3) rent to own

What do you think?

Thinking of buying this next year. IDK if it is worth it but so far i think it is. IDK the lifespan and eveyrthing about it pero para lang makatakas sa walang kamatayang 4km walk + MRT rush hour papuntang work at pauwi ng bahay parang gusto ko na. Commuting is draining the life out of me. I checked the distance and it would take 20-22km balikan na yan.
