In November 2021, GSS Energy’s subsidiary Giken Mobility teamed up with the Lamborghini family to launch its first electric motorcycle, called the Iso UNO-X. This year, the UNO-X on Feb 22 received certification by the Thai authorities that it is road-worthy and fit for sale.
In the push toward electric vehicles or EVs, four-wheelers are the ones hogging the headlines. Electric motorcycles, from the perspective of some businesses such as GSS Energy, is an over-looked segment with plenty of growth potential, especially in southeast Asia where two-wheelers are a popular mode of transport.
“We know that there’s going to be longevity for the product,” says CEO Sydney Yeung in an interview with The Edge Singapore. “If you look at all the infrastructure in Southeast Asia — like Vietnam, Jakarta, Manila, Thailand and Bangkok — I think for the foreseeable future the two-wheeler will be in high demand.”
