KATALIS EV – ANIME INSPIRED ELECTRIC MINIBIKE

Crazy cool KATALIS electric motorcycle PROJECT from Indonesia combines futuristic design, retro styling and it is influenced by Anime cartoons! This electric bike was supposed to be on Indonesia custom motorcycle shown that was canceled!

Indonesia has a great motorbike custom scene. Katalis EV bike is based on Selis Garuda frame ( The popular Indonesian 500 Watt 35 Km/h electric bike used for this custom creation / Selis Gaurda is used by other Indonesian project here ) but also provides digital technology to enhance the rider-bike connection. (if applicable).

Powered by wearable devices or digital companion, that supports the rider with all information when required. (If Applicable).

“The rider interface aims to foster a feeling of unity with the bike. It’s like you’re riding the bike, together, with the bike. Enables its rider to fully enjoy the electric mobility experience, through its function and design. Enable its rider to preserve the environment through technology.
Alter-Ego.” -KATALIS

“If you were like us grew up in the late 90s/early 2000s (Our team member Julian Palapa is older than the rest of us in Katalis ), you will remember lots of anime’s with fond memories. Ranging from Dragon Ball – Z to Yu-Yu Hakusho. From Patlabor to Doraemon. Detective Conan to Captain Tsubasa

Watching these series will surely bring back the memory of your childhood. Just like in the old days, when you were watching these series on Sunday morning, or on the weekdays afternoon, right after you’ve got home from school.
So we thought anime would be a good sort of introductory presentation of the upcoming Katalis EV.500. A bike that will clearly brings back the nostalgic memories of the past and at the same time, present the idea of future mobility.

Identity precedes everything in brand strategy. Identity is the starting point that triggers behaviour. We aim to builds a branding identity with a splash of Japanese Pop Culture. This bike aims to be initially perceived with sci-fi and futuristic characters” – KATILIS EV ON INSTAGRAM

As you can see, this bike is about mode about design, than about anything else. So much attention was given to details, so we asked to see the prototype making images!
