  • A section of bodaboda operators have already embraced electric motorcycles even as the government announces plans to rollout affordable electric motorbikes for the operators as promised by President William Ruto during this year’s Madaraka day celebrations in Embu. The riders in an interview with Citizen’s tv Ben Kirui revealed that the electric bikes were affordable and cost-saving.

    Kenyans are the smartest people in the world. How we approach innovation and our entrepreneurial instincts are super unique. Take it from someone who has been in every continent in this world. Kenya oyeee. Like if you agree

    The recharging cost can literally go down to zero if the boda boda guy sets up his own solar system.

    such things are always successfull when done on pilot mode but ikifika ni full role out they normally create massive issues and gaps that force people to revert back to petrol use
