In this ride-ready episode, Sunny sits down with Sheldon, co-founder of KILATS, the electric-motorbike company helping gig riders zip through Southeast Asia’s streets, no long charging stops, no busted shocks.Join us as we unpack:
• Stronger bikes for rough roads – why KILAT rebuilt e-bikes with bigger wheels and tougher frames to survive Jakarta-size potholes.
• Rent-and-swap batteries – pop out a drained pack, click in a charged one, and get back on the road in minutes.
• 3× higher driver earnings – how less downtime means more deliveries and bigger paychecks.
• Smart, patient funding – pairing climate-focused investors with asset-light off-take deals so KILAT can grow without mountains of upfront cash.
• Scaling across borders – local partners, predictive-maintenance dashboards, and cracking each country’s EV rules to spread battery-swap hubs across Southeast Asia.
