No motorbikes. No traffic jams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just bicycles, cidomos, people walking barefoot along sandy roads, coconut trees, the sound of the ocean and the occasional chicken making the questionable decision to cross the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then something happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Years ago, Gili Air got an electric bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And there was a very good reason for it. It was used by a disabled person who needed transportation around the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody had a problem with that. In fact, this is exactly where electric mobility makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But apparently that lonely electric bike was secretly reproducing at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because one became ten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ten became fifty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fifty became hundreds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And today, depending on how you count them, there appear to be more than&nbsp;<strong>1,000 electric bikes and scooters<\/strong>&nbsp;moving around our tiny island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Welcome to Gili Air 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or, as we may soon have to rename it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Gili Air International MotoGP Training Circuit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Valentino Rossi Academy of Gili Air<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One particularly interesting development is that Gili Air has apparently become an international training center for future MotoGP champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And recruitment starts young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Six years old? Perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seven? Almost professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eight? Probably ready for qualifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parents can simply rent an electric scooter, put their child on it and release their future Valentino Rossi onto the roads of Gili Air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Helmet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Optional, apparently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Driving experience?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why ruin the excitement?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knowledge of Indonesian traffic rules?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Details, details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding which side of the road Indonesia drives on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Something you can discover during the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The roads of Gili Air have therefore become an excellent slalom course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walking tourists are the poles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bicycles are moving obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cats add an advanced difficulty level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cidomos are the boss level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And crossroads are apparently designed specifically to test acceleration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The objective seems simple: reach the intersection as quickly as possible and hope everybody else has better brakes than you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alberto Tomba Would Be Proud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For younger readers who may not remember him, Alberto Tomba was a legendary Italian alpine skier famous for attacking slalom courses at incredible speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Gili Air, we now have our own tropical version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of skis, we use electric scooters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of snow poles, we use pedestrians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tourist with suitcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local carrying groceries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Small child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sharp right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cidomo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BRAKE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congratulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have successfully completed the Gili Air Slalom Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interesting thing is that many visitors would never allow their children to behave like this at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many countries, there are clear restrictions concerning the age at which children can operate powered vehicles on public roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parents wouldn&#8217;t normally say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Darling, you&#8217;re six now. Take this motorized vehicle and go practice between pedestrians.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But apparently the moment some people step off the boat onto Gili Air, normal logic goes on holiday too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The island becomes a theme park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No cars means no rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No police on every corner means no danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Holiday means everything is allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Except physics unfortunately doesn&#8217;t take holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maybe a Driving Lesson First?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps before renting out an electric bike, we could introduce a revolutionary new concept:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Knowing how to ride one.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know. Very controversial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lesson one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How do you start an electric bike without accidentally launching yourself into a restaurant?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lesson two:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which side of the road do we drive on in Indonesia?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lesson three:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What happens at a crossroads?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hint: the correct answer is not &#8220;accelerate.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lesson four:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pedestrians are human beings, not slalom poles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lesson five:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you see a child, dog, cat, bicycle or cidomo in front of you, slowing down is an available option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lesson six:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your holiday insurance does not magically turn you into Valentino Rossi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps after completing these six highly complicated lessons, tourists could receive the prestigious:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gili Air Electric Scooter Driving Licence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A beautiful laminated card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valid for seven days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a photograph, signature and perhaps a little golden coconut for people who successfully understand that Indonesia drives on the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fail the test?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congratulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have won a bicycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But Do We Actually Need 1,000 Electric Bikes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the more serious question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gili Air is tiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can walk from the south of the island to the north in roughly 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walking around the whole island takes approximately 90 minutes, depending on how often you stop for coffee, food, turtles, sunsets or conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That was part of the charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You arrived on an island where life moved differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You walked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You cycled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You slowed down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You didn&#8217;t need an engine for a seven-minute journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, there are reasonable exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Businesses need transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Older people may need assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People with disabilities should absolutely have access to suitable mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also legitimate practical situations where electric transportation makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that doesn&#8217;t automatically mean everybody arriving at the harbor needs an electric scooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At what point do we ask ourselves what kind of island we actually want?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because if every visitor needs motorized transportation to travel 500 meters, perhaps the problem isn&#8217;t Gili Air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paradise With a Charging Cable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gili Air used to sell a very simple image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A tropical island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coconut trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No motorbikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walk barefoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ride a bicycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slow down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now perhaps our tourism marketing needs updating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Visit beautiful Gili Air!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enjoy our beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dive with turtles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And experience the thrilling sensation of having a twelve-year-old pass you at maximum speed while you peacefully walk back to your hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an additional authentic experience, try crossing an intersection at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No reservation required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We Are Waiting for the Accident<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this is where the joke stops being quite so funny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the number of electric bikes increases dramatically while riders include inexperienced adults and very young children, the risk inevitably increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventually, somebody is going to get seriously hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe it will be a rider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe a pedestrian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe a child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe somebody stepping out of a restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe a collision with a bicycle or cidomo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And after that happens, everyone will suddenly become extremely interested in regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There will be meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There will be discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People will ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;How could this happen?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We need to do something!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We need rules!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But we don&#8217;t actually have to wait for a serious accident before discussing the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can see it developing in front of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So What Is the Solution?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We could establish clear rules about who may rent and operate electric bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We could introduce a minimum age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We could require rental companies to provide a basic safety briefing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We could establish speed limits in busy areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We could clearly explain Indonesian road rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We could restrict electric vehicles in certain pedestrian-heavy areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We could create a simple Gili Air riding certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or we could take the strongest approach and stop renting electric bikes to tourists altogether, while maintaining sensible exemptions for residents, businesses, older people and people with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe that sounds extreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But is it really?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the reasons people came to Gili Air in the first place was precisely because it was different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No motorbikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No rushing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An island where you could walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps progress doesn&#8217;t always mean adding more engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes progress means protecting what made a place special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Welcome to Gili Air \u2014 Please Slow Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody is suggesting that electric mobility itself is evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Electric bikes can be extremely useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question is whether a tiny island needs more than a thousand of them and whether everybody\u2014including young children and people who have apparently never ridden one before\u2014should be allowed to use the public roads without basic instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gili Air doesn&#8217;t need another thousand Valentino Rossis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It doesn&#8217;t need a MotoGP circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It doesn&#8217;t need pedestrians practicing emergency evasive maneuvers every time they walk to dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It needs some common sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So perhaps next time you arrive on Gili Air, try something truly adventurous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With your legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s an ancient transportation system that requires no battery, no charging station and remarkably little driving experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might even notice the coconut trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might say hello to somebody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might discover a small restaurant you would otherwise have passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might remember why you came to a tiny tropical island in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And don&#8217;t worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valentino Rossi already retired from MotoGP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We don&#8217;t urgently need to find his replacement on Gili Air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where Every Tourist Is Valentino Rossi There was a
