Abstract

Electric motorcycle conversion is a new technology in Indonesia. Electric motorcycle conversion as one of the results of the innovation system. There are several parts related to electric motorcycle conversions such as a battery, brushless direct current motor (BLDC), and controller as a conversion kit, then public electric charging station (SPLU) and battery swap for its supporting infrastructure. To develop it as a successful business, then technopreneurship and commercialization technology systems must be considered. This paper provides a study of a technopreneurship model suitable for a technological basis based on comparative research of some parts innovation of electric motorcycle conversion products in Indonesia. Meanwhile, aspects that will be reviewed include technology development, whether included in the market pull or technology push. This paper also analyzes the types of innovation and degree of product innovation, whether classified as closed innovation or open innovation. Next, the product development process models are also considered, so this product innovation does not fall in the valley of death. The findings of the study could be developed lessons learned in the success of technology commercialization. Future research, including quantitative studies, will help examine the conclusions and understand more in-depth of technopreneurship and innovation systems.
