Vrent

Vrent is an Indonesian company providing rental services for electric motorcycles, built around Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Headquartered in Jakarta, the company was established and officially began operations in March 2019. It operates a network of more than ten active electric motorcycle rental stations across Jakarta and Bekasi. The rental system is app-based: users download the Vrent application on their smartphones and use it to scan a QR code on a Vrent electric motorcycle to gain access and start the engine. Payment for rentals can be made by topping up a Vrent balance through digital payment gateways partnered with Vrent, or in cash through a station administrator. A rented unit may be returned at a station different from the one where it was picked up. For its fleet, Vrent partners with Viar, an Indonesian motorcycle manufacturer, to procure electric motorcycles. The specific model rented out is the Viar Q1 Gen 1, a locally made electric motorcycle produced in Semarang. As of January 2022, all Vrent stations were reported closed due to the pandemic, with bookings handled only through the official Instagram account @vrent.id and official WhatsApp. The company is described as an Indonesian company in public records.
