Andika explained the reasons for choosing electric carts over conventional carts like most traders.
“What is certain is that because it is portable and easy to charge, there is no need to buy petrol. So far there are a lot of motorbike carts, that’s why we have adopted electric carts as coffee carts,” said Andika at Sindhu Beach, Denpasar, Bali, Sunday (14/ 7/2024).
According to him, one battery charge takes eight hours. When the battery is full, the cart can travel a distance of around 15 kilometers (km).

Andika explained that the presence of Sruuput Kopi was also based on his concern that it was difficult to find coffee drinks at pocket-friendly prices.
“Along the Sindhu Beach, the average price is IDR 20 thousand to IDR 30 thousand and above. So, we are looking for a solution by opening here and targeting the young people who often hang out here,” explained Andika.
He was also inspired by the many mobile coffee carts in Jakarta. Meanwhile, in Bali it is still very rare. Andika also tried to adopt and modify it to be implemented in Denpasar.
Long story short, with capital of around IDR 30 million, Andika started his electric cart coffee business. Every Monday-Saturday at 13.00-15.30 WITA Sruuput Kopi usually hangs out in front of SMAN 1 Denpasar. Then, at 16.00-18.30 WITA, they moved to Sindhu Beach.
Andika explained that every Sunday his coffee cart operates from 07.00-09.30 WITA and continues at 16.00-18.30 WITA at Sindhu Beach. In one shift, he usually carries 100-125 cups.
“So far the market response has been quite good. Others are also enthusiastic about the concept of coffee carts at affordable prices,” said the man who works as a police officer.
