This is what the transition to electric bodas look like - very much the same on the road, just less money going to oil imports and vehicle maintenance and more to Kenyan power producers.

You Gotta love how hailing an electric motorcycle taxi (boba boda) in Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪 is CHEAPER than hailing a petrol one on @Uber .
It's not just in the newspapers. It's happening. It's real. The transition to electric is well underway ⚡️.
In an exciting development, Kenyan 🇰🇪 vehicle manufacturer @MobiusMotors has partnered with battery-swapping technology specialist @StimaMobility and India’s One Electric with the aim of accelerating the deployment of electric motorcycles in Kenya.
Glad to take part to @KCBGroup Foundation and @Unitar event. Congrats to the first group of Kenyan boda-boda riders who have been trained to operate electric motorcycles.
We are now looking forward to launching the joint deployment of electric motorcycles in the country.
Stima Mobility [@StimaMobility] - a Kenyan startup providing green tech solutions for the moto-taxi sector (boda boda riders), has secured €100K/$109K/KES 15.3M investments from DEG Impulse with funds from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.

President Ruto: I have some good news for my boda-boda friends. By September, we are developing a mechanism where you can get electric boda-bodas that do not operate on petrol #MadarakaDay#KenyaAt60
A lot of attention has been given to electrifying the boda bodas. How about electric motorcycles for personal mobility? Just look at how cool Governor of Nairobi @SakajaJohnson looks on this @StimaMobility electric motorcycle.

Smart move Governor. Which movie should @SakajaJohnson and @UweraLyndah should go (on the Stima Boda) and watch together ?
We offer a movie ticket to the best answer.
