A Jakarta driver rents the bike for US$2.40 a day: Vietnam's Green SM brings VinFast e-motorbikes
Green SM put VinFast electric motorbikes on Jakarta streets on Friday, adding to the electric taxis it already runs there. Drivers rent a bike from US$2.40 (Rp39,000) a day and are guaranteed up to US$9.70 a day.
Positive-sum angle: A Jakarta rider can now start a shift without buying a bike, and any delivery operator hiring in the city has to beat a guaranteed US$9.70 day.
