The Roam Air launches in Kenya – An electric motorcycle designed for Africa, priced at $1,500

Roam Air Electric Motorcycle

The Roam Air is designed both for urban and rural environments. Several years of research and months of development were dedicated to building the optimal electric motorcycle for Africa.

Based on a new innovative frame, the motorcycle houses a dual battery system. The new configuration allows users to remove the battery and plug it into any normal outlet at home, just like your phone, or charge the battery in public charging and swapping stations. The frame is engineered to tackle all terrains, while also accommodating for a storage compartment replacing the fuel tank, interchangeability with local spare parts, and increased carrying capacity on the extended subframe. The interchangeability with local spare parts is a key feature that will allow operators of these electric motorcycle to find spare parts easily as well as support local downstream industries.

Considering the cost to run this motorcycle is about70% than an equivalent combustion engined motorcycle, this purchase price is an absolute bargain. It’s a no-brainer choice for general commuter travel.
