Our products and services support our customers to make more money. Our customers (motorcycle taxi operators) report a 40% – 50% income increase compared to the petrol powered counterparts. Cost savings are attributed to reduced energy and maintenance costs. 

Customers are able to access our electric motorcycles through affordable and flexible financing (”lease to own”) facilitated by our strategic partnership with watu credit. 

The successful creation of a win-win-win ecosystem and closing of the financing cycle is our approach for a renewable energy transition. If it makes economic sense for the client, the lender and the product & service provider, the transition happens automatically.

CO2 emissions 101

A typical 100-150 CCM petrol motorcycle consumes about 3 liters of fuel per 100 km. Each liter of fuel is burnt into roughly 2.3 kg of CO2, the (avoidable) CO2 emissions per 100km are therefore about 7 kg. With an average annual distance covered of 50,000 km, a Ugandan “BodaBoda” emits up to 3.5t of CO2 per year.

Using electric motorcycles, we substitute these CO2 emissions with about 4 kWh of electricity and some battery degradation.

Another benefit is the reduced pollution through smoke particles and disposed lubricants.
