KINETIK Sweef Fellows Case Study: Electric Wheel
The first phase of the KINETIK Sweef Entrepreneurs Program was a joint initiative between the Australia–Indonesia Climate, Renewable Energy and Infrastructure Partnership (KINETIK) and The Sweef Institute (Sweef). The program supported green enterprises that were led by women or improved the lives of women. The support was in the form of tailored technical assistance designed to strengthen business performance, operational systems, and inclusive growth.
In this Fellow Case Study, we spotlight Electric Wheel, a Bali-based startup making electric mobility more accessible by converting conventional motorcycles into hybrid and electric models, founded by Erlangga Bayu Rahmanda.The company is building solutions around the realities of everyday mobility, helping more people participate in the green economy without leaving affordability behind.
Working alongside the Electric Wheel team, including I Gusti Ngurah Putra Darmagita, we focused on the practical systems the company needed to turn its community-led work into a stronger foundation for growth. Through tailored technical assistance, Electric Wheel launched its first professional website, explored workshops as a new revenue stream, introduced a public grievance mechanism, and more than quadrupled its Gender ROI™ score to 3.92. These changes show how commercial infrastructure and responsible business practices can grow together, helping a small enterprise build greater visibility, trust, and accountability.
At the heart of Electric Wheel’s work is a simple belief, as Erlangga puts it: “We want to make sure that EV technology isn’t just for the privileged. It should be accessible to everyone — from delivery drivers to people living in villages where motorbikes are the backbone of mobility.” The Fellowship helped turn that ambition into stronger systems, giving the company a more solid foundation to expand access to cleaner, more inclusive mobility.
