Electric motorcycle brand Zion Mobility to launch in Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines by 2026

[SINGAPORE] Singapore-founded electric motorcycle maker Zion Mobility will launch models in Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines in the first quarter of 2026.

This may make Zion the first Singapore electric motorcycle startup to launch its models at home, as its local peers – such as Ion Mobility, Scorpio Electric and Charged – have thus far sold electric motorcycles only overseas.

Zion announced its plans on Tuesday (Jul 29) when signing Hong Seh Group as its sole distributor for Singapore, where it will launch two models in early 2026.

The models are the Z-One delivery bike and the Z-Max, described as being able to handle rougher terrain. Both are fully electric scooters with an 8 kilowatt-hour battery capacity, claimed range of 250 km, and charging time of three hours from a 3.3-kilowatt source.

Representatives of Hong Seh and Zion said they are targeting commercial fleet operators, but not ruling out consumer sales.

Zion has its financial and research headquarters in Singapore, as well as an operational centre and factory in Thailand. It began selling its motorcycles in Thailand this February.

The company has yet to announce its distributors for Indonesia and the Philippines.

In Singapore, Zion’s motorcycles will use fixed batteries that can be charged using standard electric vehicle chargers.

In other markets, they will use swappable batteries from Oyika, a Singapore startup founded by the same team. Fixed-battery versions will also be offered later on.

Oyika builds and operates battery-charging and swap stations for electric motorcycles. It currently runs these stations in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and the Philippines; it also rents out electric motorcycles and batteries.

The company began developing its own motorcycles in 2023 with an unnamed Chinese manufacturer, and started Zion in 2024 as its own in-house motorcycle brand. Existing electric and conventional motorcycles can also be converted to use Oyika’s battery-swap technology.
