Time to talk Electric Boda Bodas (e-mobility)? On Monday, The @DailyMonitor run two articles that caught my attention (see frame 4) On their leading story, they run a piece that said that Uganda imports twice as many motorcycles (boda bodas) as cars. In their special feature, they run a very well researched story that said: “Kampala’s Air Quality Among Worst in the World”. That piece featured some of the voices of my work colleagues at @PublicSquareEA. Beyond just lamenting about the quality of air we breathe, it’s important to remember that the solutions are within reach. One of those is increasing the uptake of electric boda bodas. This, we can do from the ground up. It’s easier to push consumer adoption by merely turning first adopters into a marketing force than through standing on a pedestal and preaching the virtues of embracing e-mobility from our air conditioned offices that we access by driving fuel guzzling SUVs. Some of the barriers to adoption are the misconceptions among riders about e-bikes. These range from stuff like “they are not as fast as the petrol powered bikes”, “they don’t have range”, “they aren’t as strong so can’t carry a lot of weight” etc A few weeks ago, I fortuitously got a chance to put the first misconception to the test. My regular boda guy had actually given the reason of speed or lack thereof, as his impediment to buying an e-bike so he had instead bought himself a new petrol bike. This one Kampala morning while going to an e-mobility meeting, we see an e-bike at that Jinja road roundabout. I remember our conversation so I ask him to go after the e-bike guy (safely). The e-bike guy hadn’t heard so he went on riding normally but as we got within 2 meters of him, my boda guy asked: “tumuyise?” (Read: should we overtake him?) I answered in the affirmative. The e-bike guy heard us and said: “kankulageko” (let me show you what’s up). The result is what you see in the first video. We were fortunate that the road was paved, otherwise he would have left us feeding on kilograms of dust. My boda guy has since been preaching the e-bike gospel at his stage here in Muyenga and yesterday, he told me that one of his stage colleagues is saving up to buy an e-bike. It will be the first on our village stage. Exciting times!! #Kankulageko #KampalaBreathes #EmbraceEmobility
