As Malaysia ramps up its push toward clean and sustainable transport, one name is gaining traction in the electric two-wheeler space: RydeEV. With a bold focus on battery-swapping technology and affordable leasing models, RydeEV is becoming a game-changer in the micromobility ecosystem — especially for urban commuters and delivery fleets.
🚀 What is RydeEV?
RydeEV is a Malaysian electric motorcycle startup offering a new way to ride: zero emissions, no fuel, no waiting to charge. Their bikes are designed around swappable batteries, allowing users to keep moving without being tethered to long charging sessions.
Originally part of Yinson GreenTech (YGT), RydeEV spun off into an independent company in 2025, giving it more freedom to expand, innovate, and serve its users better.

- ✅ Road tax

- ✅ Routine maintenance
It’s electric mobility made simple — and affordable.

As of late 2025, RydeEV has:
- ⚡ Deployed over 200 electric motorcycles
- ⚡ Installed 50+ battery swap stations across Malaysia

These physical locations let you test ride, learn about EVs, and swap batteries easily.

🌟 Final Thoughts
RydeEV isn’t just another e-bike brand. It’s an ecosystem — one built around convenience, sustainability, and affordability. With more Malaysians considering electric vehicles, RydeEV offers a local, smart, and scalable solution that’s ready to meet the moment.
