- Kenya’s automotive industry is largely fossil fuels powered, even as the country looks to embrace clean energy in a bid to fight climate change. With the National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy launched in 2020 envisioning Kenya’s e-mobility to grow by 5% by 2030, ventures like Roam Electric have entered the Kenyan market to provide alternatives to fossil fuels. In our Made in Kenya segment, Edward Chweya tells us how Roam Electric is providing e-motorbikes to the bodaboda sector in Kenya.

The cost of this bike is therefore 421,000/=. That's extortion.
Because of pioneer n monopoly policy issues!!! I remember President Ruto said it will cost 160 k!!!! 1 if you buy cash!!!
Bikes go for as high as 1.5M. So it depends
True. That price tag is not good for Boda bodas.
Very true
@@erickjuma7643 There are bikes worth even 10 million+. But Electric motorcycles have fewer parts, which means the cost should be lower.
These Roam bikes want to adopt models where even normal TVS or Bajaj are given to riders, and these people pay four times the value of the bike. That's extortion.
Thanks for the update. How far are the doing this process for e-cars & e-busses???
Whoever buying this bike,he/she must go for mind check up!!!! I consider who buying this bike to be mad per,,,25k deposit+525sh daily for 2years=400k+......unless if they are giving out this bike plus the daily customers 😂😂
no sir , 400k is the amount you pay when you take the bike on loan. kindly show more keenness on listening. try paying more attention on what is said rather than your own mix up. Remember that you'll pay about 370k on loan for a similar fuel bike on loan. however e. bikes on first hand pay is 190k . fuel bikes are worth 160k . remember the prices vary per brand , its not constant,. alternatives exist.
Now we should talk about battery recycling
Why does the communications manager seem BORED beyond redemption?! 😂
Thanksbto Ruto and Gachagua
Super Expensive, I can already see a hidden hand pushing this company. If given Chance, Chinese could provide a cheaper alternative if backed well. The idea is good but the exploitation is glaring.
Did i hear well,,,Deposit is 25,000ksh. Then 550ksh .;EVERYDAY; for three years.(365x3=1095days) So 1095days x 550ksh=602250ksh. Plus the deposit 25000ksh the amount totals to 627,250ksh. For an electrick bike?? This is crazy. If a bodaboda can afford this,,,then he must be a RICH guy. Thumps up👍👍👍 for whoever will buy this bikes.
That's too expensive,it's about four hundred and fifty thousand Kenyan shillings or four thousand us dollars
We did a roads test on hill those things are waste of money they should think of hybride bike mybe
🇰🇪🇰🇪
If i can get to charge the 2vbatteries at home like my phone and not the charging stations thats fine, HOWEVER 421k in 2 years 😂😂😂 uizi wa mchana. Endeni mudanganye wa watoto 😂😂 this is hilarious 😂😂

@@kennedykisiangani3391ohh I get you. Please share your contacts need to shift from fuel to electric.
550 per day for 2 years, plus 25k deposit. This is daylight thiefery😮😮
550 per day for 2yrs, means this motorcycle is basically the price of a car.
Hhhhhh😂!!!! I can say it robbery without violence and extreme extortion in already weakened economic crisis!!! Also I can say gvt or private conmen n brokers kama kawa ya Kenya!!! 😮😮😮
@@yussufduale4142 ... Granted the battery at 3Kwh is already valued at nearly 200K ... But who are they expecting to buy these?
Maybe if they make the battery multifunction. Meaning owners can use it to light up their houses at night, listen to music, watch television, et c.
Then that would be a saving of like almost 100K, compared to buying a separate lighting system.
There is also the option if cash payment, I guess
Can it do 100Km while carying 3 people? ... because thats what normal bodaboda have to endure.
Carrying 3 people @100km is insane 😂
Prace bodaboda
This is like m kopa phones why they tell you to deposit 6500 and pay 100 bob for 15 months next will be affordable houses you deposit 100000 and pay 15000 per month for the next 20years
Na gari prace
Is it made in kenya or assembled in kenya🤔
500 ksh daily is too expensive for ordinary Kenyans low daily return to 300 ksh
Price tag is northing compared to value of the product
no problem,,,then go on and buy one. At this price i can afford a much better bike. If you understand MOTORBIKES. Hakuna pesa ya kutupa
I need one
at this price??
Yaani hii boda n expensive kuliko gari. Ukiwa na 200,000k c uko na nissan yako from FB marketing place or jjjj bwana
Huja ona kuna wasee employed hapo kwa io industry?
Car prace
Prace of Car?
@@Dochmanmwizi so??? India is producing combustion bikes for 150k now. They should compete with them if they want to penetrate the market. 421k just for a bike?? Kukinyesha una nyeshewa kukiwa na jua una pigwa na vumbi for 421k!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Wacha ikae
They should make the battery to be multifunctional ... Have a kit that can be installed in a rural home or a small house that can then use the battery for lighting and television/ music.
This would make the cost to be totally worth it. Because domestic power system is already like 100K expense.
Then there should be a way to charge the battery using Solar panel without having to pass through an inverter to make 240V AC ... Meaning one battery can be left at home, charging by solar for free, to be used the following day ... Making cost of "fuel" to be literally zero ... Considering how cheap solar panels have become.
Isn't that what the portable charger is for? Charge at home. Then, the argument about running your home power, does your car double up as a generator? This an unrealistic demand that seems smart but utterly unreasonable.
@@dennismwangi6026 ... I believe this Portable charger they are talking of is the equivalent of a laptop charging cable ... For converting 240V AC to DC that charges the battery.
A DC to DC converter would be completely different thing that can be used to convert a high voltage DC Solar setup into a level that is able to charge the motorcycle battery.
Meaning free sunlight can charge the battery, with minimal losses that happen when passing through an inverter.
@@dennismwangi6026 ... A car can in fact double double as a generator ... You can plug you music system or television to the car battery through an inverter and it will work perfectly 😅😅
The issue is it wouldn't be an efficient generator.
But plugging DC appliances to a DC battery via a DC-DC converter is basically 95% efficient, maybe even better.
@@wayando as I said earlier, your demands are unreasonable. Even a normal solar panel cannot charge a laptop until you either use a DC - DC buck boost step up or stepdown if you have a 24v power supply. In most cases, I wager you never think about it.
Secondly, the time it would take you is so long and impractical unless you install, again, an expensive solar system to do that. Which then doesn't make sense unless you want to go fully off grid. Just look at the current requirements to charge a battery. You will understand why your grind power is sensible.
Btw, these electric motorbikes battery are usually around 50V give or take 2. Let's start from that point.
@@wayando Did you note the use of the word "can"? I don't mean that you can't also use the motorbike as such that's why you also talked of "can" in your car example not not "is used".
Your electric bike is not looking to replace your grind. In fact, it's looking to use the grind to power it. Get the difference. You must understand the relationship between the bike and the power grind.
2500 deposit and 550 per day..to hell in 2yrs😊
Cash ni ngapi
Nothing is made in kenya here but assembly. Kenya is just a consumer nation. Shame on we kenyans we cannot manufacture nothing. We need changing this mindset to manufacture
Even the World superpowers don't manufacture everything unless they're China
Wacha ruto awakule bwana😂
Very weak bikes
There is nothing made in kenya here. Why lie,? This is rutos assembly line.Sema assembled in kenya as nothing ever happens in this kenya under the ruto corrupt regime
clearly you didnt get the caption. putting up together means assembling. and the story of this regime incase you missed out goes like this.. first the plan was to import a blue print bikes, then secondly an asssembly plant would be established just like the one in the video. thirdly and later full manufucture of smart bikes will follow , here in kenya.
