GGR Motor Aims To Sell At Least 3,000 Electric Motorcycles Monthly

IPOH, April 12 (Bernama) -- GGR Motor Group aims to sell at least 3,000 units of electric motorcycles per month this year, in line with increased production capacity and the expansion of its distribution network.

Managing Director Muhammad Musaddiq Mohamed Azmi said that to achieve this, the company is ramping up assembly plant capacity and adding workers to expedite deliveries.

"This target is realistic based on current market demand. If the momentum is sustained, we can achieve around 36,000 units per year for a single model.

“We also aim to have at least 100 official distributors nationwide by year-end to expand market reach," he said in a statement during the GGR X EV Ipoh Launching Ceremony here today.

Muhammad Musaddiq added that 8,000 units of the Lion G1 electric motorcycle have been sold since its launch in June last year, marking a positive start in penetrating the local market.

Of these, more than 6,000 units have been delivered nationwide, including to Sabah and Sarawak.

"Based on user feedback, electric motorcycles can significantly reduce daily costs, especially for short-distance travel and urban use.

"The electric vehicles (EV) market in Malaysia will not grow overnight but will expand steadily. What we are seeing today is the beginning of a major shift in the country's automotive industry," he said.

Meanwhile, GGR X EV Ipoh branch head Mohamed Izwan Abdul Karim said that the choice of Ipoh as the location for the new branch was driven by its market potential and strategic position linking the north and south of Peninsular Malaysia.

He said the company is targeting monthly sales of 50 to 80 units in Ipoh, expressing confidence the Lion G1 will receive a good response.

“We see Ipoh as a strategic location with stable demand, and consumer lifestyles here are well-suited for electric motorcycles, especially for short-distance travel,” he said.

He hopes the Ipoh branch will act as a catalyst for the growth of the electric motorcycle market in Perak and support the country’s green mobility agenda.
