In the fast-evolving landscape of electric mobility, Blueshark is emerging as a driving force in Malaysia’s push towards a cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable transportation future. From stylish electric scooters to a fully integrated battery-swapping ecosystem, Blueshark is not just selling bikes, it’s building a comprehensive mobility platform.
🔋 The Vision: Redefining Two-Wheel Mobility
Blueshark is a smart electric scooter brand under Sharkgulf Technologies Group, which has partnered with local players in Malaysia including EP Manufacturing Berhad (EPMB) and Petronas Dagangan Berhad (PDB). The company’s core mission is to accelerate the adoption of electric two-wheelers (2W-EVs) in urban areas while developing the supporting infrastructure to make EV usage practical and scalable.
The Malaysia-based entity, Blueshark Ecosystem Sdn Bhd, oversees local operations, product rollout, and after-sales services.
🚀 Key Products: Smart Scooters with AI & IoT Capabilities
Blueshark’s current offerings in Malaysia include:
- Blueshark R1 & R1 Lite
These models combine sleek urban design with advanced features such as a smart dashboard, voice command, AI-powered riding assistance, and real-time telemetry via an onboard OS. - SoloEra Series (1C, 2, and 3)
Launched under the Blueshark banner in 2025, the Solo 1C is being assembled locally in Shah Alam. With over 6,000 expressions of interest in just over a month post-launch, the SoloEra line is geared towards affordable electric mobility with strong performance, battery-swapping compatibility, and locally supported servicing.
⚡ Game-Changer: Battery Swapping Network
One of Blueshark’s biggest advantages is its BlueStation battery swapping network — a fast, efficient alternative to traditional EV charging.
- Users can swap depleted batteries for fully charged ones in under 1 minute.
- The company is targeting over 50 stations nationwide by mid-2026, starting with key urban zones in Klang Valley, Johor Bahru, and Penang.
- Many of these stations are being deployed at Petronas petrol stations, enabling widespread accessibility.
🤝 Strategic Partnerships
Blueshark’s progress is backed by strong industry players:
- Petronas x Blueshark JV (2025): A newly established joint venture aims to scale EV deployment and infrastructure nationwide. This includes exclusive distribution of Blueshark vehicles and managing battery-swapping operations.
- EP Manufacturing: Partner for local assembly and scaling production, with the potential to roll out 12,000+ units annually from the Shah Alam facility.
📈 Scaling Up: Market Momentum
With Malaysia’s government pushing for 15% EV adoption by 2030, Blueshark is in the right place at the right time. Government subsidies like the RM2,400 e-motorcycle rebate (via MARiiCas) are boosting public interest, and Blueshark is preparing for a threefold surge in EV sales in 2025.
Their MyEVE (Malaysia Electric Vehicle Empowerment) initiative, launched earlier, is also aligned with national low-carbon mobility goals, combining green energy, local economic participation, and smart tech.
Conclusion
As Malaysia accelerates toward a cleaner, connected transportation future, Blueshark is paving the road one electric scooter at a time. Their approach isn’t just about bikes; it’s about building a smarter, greener urban mobility ecosystem.
Whether you’re a commuter, policymaker, or mobility investor, Blueshark is a name to watch and ride with.
