We just welcomed our first two drivers into the 3WB community!
This isn’t just a win for us, it’s a win for every rider who has ever dreamed of owning a 3-wheeler instead of renting one.
Together we are rewriting the future of transport in Africa. One ride at a time. 🛺💨

2/ In Ghana, 3-wheelers offer affordable & convenient transport used by citizens daily
Most drivers do not own their vehicles, instead operating them through rental arrangements that limit opportunities for long-term stability or asset ownership
3/ 3 Wheeler Bike Club is working to solve this, building a new model where:
→ Investors fund vehicles
→ Drivers join work-to-own programs
→ Investors earn returns as the drivers gain ownership
📺 Watch their video for an overview of how the platform works ↓
4/ During @CeloDevs Proof of Ship 6, geeloko & his team integrated the Self SDK for:
→ ZK-powered OFAC screening, leveraging Self’s OFAC list's exclusion proofs
→ Privacy-preserving ID checks, verifying investor eligibility without storing their personal information & more
