Chinese electric motorcycle startup Omoway has secured fresh funding shortly after launching its operations in Indonesia, giving the company new momentum as it expands across Southeast Asia.
The investment comes at a time when demand for electric motorcycles is rising steadily, with governments encouraging cleaner transportation and consumers becoming more interested in affordable electric mobility.
The new funding will help Omoway increase production of its flagship OMO X electric motorcycle, invest further in product development, and grow its presence in international markets. Indonesia, with one of the world’s largest motorcycle user bases, will continue to serve as the company’s primary launchpad for regional expansion.

Funding to Support Growth Plans
Omoway recently completed its Series A and Series A+ funding rounds, raising tens of millions of dollars. The investment was led by Lochpine Capital, while existing investors including HongShan, ZhenFund, Hui Capital, and founder Todd He also participated. The continued support reflects growing confidence in the company’s long-term business strategy.
According to Omoway, the funding will be used to expand manufacturing capacity, improve its smart riding technologies, and accelerate its international growth plans. The company is focused on building electric motorcycles that combine modern design with intelligent technology to improve the overall riding experience.
Founded by former executives from XPeng, Omoway aims to bring many of the advanced features found in modern electric cars to the two-wheeler market. Its engineering team includes professionals with experience in vehicle software, autonomous driving, and connected mobility systems.
The company’s flagship model, the OMO X, features self-balancing technology that helps riders maintain stability at low speeds and while stopping. The system uses sensors, electronic controls, and artificial intelligence to make riding easier, reduce fatigue, and improve confidence, particularly for new riders navigating busy city roads.
Indonesia Leads Regional Expansion
Indonesia has become the first international market for Omoway because of its large motorcycle population and increasing focus on electric vehicle adoption. As more people consider switching to electric vehicles, the country offers significant opportunities for companies developing innovative transportation solutions.
To strengthen its position, Omoway has partnered with more than ten local distributors to establish sales and service networks across Indonesia. These partnerships are expected to improve customer access, strengthen service support, and help the company better understand the needs of local riders.
The company also sees Southeast Asia as an important growth market beyond Indonesia. Motorcycles remain the primary mode of transportation for millions of people across the region, while governments continue introducing policies that encourage the adoption of electric vehicles and investment in charging infrastructure.
Competition in the electric motorcycle industry is becoming stronger as both established manufacturers and new startups introduce products aimed at urban commuters. Instead of focusing only on price, Omoway is positioning itself around AI-powered features, connected technologies, and rider safety to stand out in an increasingly crowded market.
The latest funding also highlights that investors continue to see strong potential in companies developing next-generation mobility solutions. As production ramps up and customer deliveries expand, Omoway plans to use feedback from Indonesian riders to refine its products before entering additional international markets.
