SolarTaxi offers electric bikes in Ghana under several models that help lower the traditional barriers to entry and helps accelerate adoption. These include a work and pay model and a rental service. Outright sale options are also available.
The home delivery market worldwide has been given a boost as many nations have implemented a range of movement restrictions ranging from issuing strong social distancing guidelines to stay-at-home orders to full lockdowns. It appears the social distancing practices have also given a much needed boost to firms using e-bikes in the last-mile/home delivery industry.
“The electric bikes use the Lithium battery. This battery type is more durable, more effective compared to others like the previous lead acid battery. Distance per charge range is up 200km with a maximum speed of 60-70 km/hour depending on the model.”
This fleet has completed a total ride distance of over 200,000 kilometers within this period.
