rtmowi Garage boasts a unique workshop focusing on custom motorcycles. Located on Jl. Nangka Raya No. 18 in Perumnas Depok 1 in Depok Baru, West Java, the workshop has been around since 2013.

Unlike other motorcycle workshops, some of the custom bikes created in Artmowi Garage are not equipped with proper engines but instead use the machines of generators, coconut graters and lawnmowers. People working at the workshop believe that any propellant machine can be converted into a motorcycle.

The machines are not randomly applied because the bikes have varying capacity rates. The speed produced by the relevant machine is about the same as that of its motorcycle engine. A minibike with a coconut grating machine of 160cc, for instance, is equal in speed to a motorcycle with the same engine capacity.

Artmowi Garage also makes other custom vehicles, such as motorized bikes, Tot Rods (for children) and many more. Its minibikes have inspired the founding of a community called the Artmowi Garage Minibike Community.

In addition to rebuilding vintage bikes, this workshop still produces regular custom bikes like Japstyle and Bratstyle motorcycles and cafe racers.
