Roam has partnered with MOGO, an asset financier, to accelerate the adoption of electric motorcycles in East Africa to allow individuals to acquire clean motorbikes.

The partnership will help riders earn 30 percent.

ROAM Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Office Mikael Gange said the partnership aims to tap into the expanding market of boda boda riders eager to transition to electric motorcycles amidst soaring petrol prices.

“By leveraging Mogo’s expertise in asset financing, we’re able to offer flexible financing options that make sure customers save money on day one. At Roam, our mission is clear, we want to provide the best and most affordable electric motorcycle to the market and Mogo is a great partner in accelerating that mission.”

Roam’s electric motorcycles come in various features and designs tailored for various use cases, including personal commuting, cargo transportation, ridesharing, and taxi services.

“Our partnership with Roam will expand access to electric motorcycles in Kenya,” says Rauls Leitis, Business Development Project Manager at Mogo.

“We see that the electric motorcycle market is ever expanding and with Roam’s innovative products that enable customers to not only charge at home but also at the Roam Hubs, we believe the electric motorcycle market will eventually become larger than the petrol one.”
