🌸 The ABCs of Aerion Motors

Indonesia is one of the biggest motorcycle markets in the world, and Aerion is banking on a premium lifestyle experience to stand out. 

• Their first model, Luna, is made for design-conscious urban consumers. Think people who value aesthetics and good design; consumers who want to express their identity and taste.
• Luna is a retro-modern electric motorcycle with a 120 to 160km range and 90km/h top speed, with a target price of around $2.1K. It also comes with IoT-connected features, as well as improved ergonomics and maneuverability.

‍

A unique experience. Aerion will design and sell its own line of merchandise, apparel, and accessories. 

• Their flagship showroom is also built as an in-house cafe with a members’ lounge where customers can relax while having their vehicles charged or serviced.

🏍️ Full speed ahead

The fresh capital will support prototype validation, supplier readiness, and homologation preparation. Oh, and they’ll also use it to plan for their launch. 

• Aerion plans to raise a $2M seed round later this year to fund their initial commercial rollout.
