People Attending Africa Electric Mobility Week Exhibition Were Pleasantly Surprised About The Progress In E-Mobility

On Exhibition day, 15 e-mobility companies displayed their vehicles, including standing scooters, mopeds, e-bikes, motorcycles, electric bicycles, tuktuks, cars, and buses. The 2-wheeler segment was the most represented. Motorcycles are a really big deal in Kenya. The motorcycle segment is now Kenya’s largest vehicle segment.

This impressive growth presents a large addressable market and has attracted a lot of attention and investment in Kenya’s electric motorcycle sector as well as in the rest of the East African region. There are now over 15 startups in Kenya working in the electric motorcycle sector and most of them were well represented at the expo. Delegates got a chance to ride the electric motorcycles from all the exhibitors.

There are 2 companies looking into the electric bus sector, BasiGo and Roam. They were both at the exhibition and both companies provided transport to delegates attending the exhibition. They picked up passengers from designated pickup points in Nairobi and took them to the Waterfront Mall where the expo was held. The electric buses also ferried the delegates back to the dropoff points.

The greatest takeaway from the exhibition was the look on people’s faces as they went around all the stands and discussed all the developments in the electric mobility sector. Most people couldn’t believe that there were this many active e-mobility companies in Kenya and the region. The delegates were impressed by the wide range of electric vehicles on display across the various categories.
