Keffa Mwendwa has been a motorcycle taxi (Boda Boda) rider in Kenya for 12 years. 6 month ago, he had the honour of becoming the first pilot for Ecobodaa’s electric motorcycle. Ecobodaa is one of several startups in Nairobi that are driving the e-mobility revolution in the most common mode of last-mile transport in East Africa.
Ecobodaa CEO Kimosop Chepkoit says their pilot program shows that they have been able to save riders 36% on daily fuel spend, over 75 % on repairs, and 90% on servicing over a period of 3 months. These are significant savings for the Boda Boda riders. Lowering their operating costs will help riders improve their standard of living, and also help them build some savings.
