Roam, formerly known as Opibus, is an electric mobility company focused on electrifying vehicles in Africa – starting with motorbike taxis, or “boda-bodas,” which are a vital part of Kenya’s economy. Boda-bodas are popular for their affordability and speed, but they are often poorly maintained, inefficient, and contribute to pollution. Roam, with funding from PREO, is piloting electric motorbikes in Kenya to help improve driver incomes, reduce environmental impact, create green jobs, and support the country’s shift to zero-emission vehicles. The project is also exploring different payment models trialled to assess uptake and long-term business model viability while also to assessing how e-motorbike production can be scaled-up in Kenya to benefit the local economy.
