Ruto unveils an electric motorcycle in Mombasa.

In summary
Ruto launched an electronic motorcycle with the goal of giving those who are facing a problem as a result of gasoline price increases an advantage.

Yesterday, President William Ruto launched electric bikes at Mama Ngina Waterfront Park.

The introduction of electric motorcycles, often known as e-boda boda, comes three months after President Ruto announced on Madaraka Day that Kenya will start manufacturing electric bikes locally.

Spiro, an electric motorcycle firm with operations in Togo, Benin, Rwanda, and now Kenya, designed the Sh150,000 motorcycles.

The e-boda boda are only charged once at night, according to Spiro.

The users will be able to exchange their dead batteries for fully charged ones at Spiro’s battery exchange facility.

The program, according to the Kenya Kwanza administration, intends to speed up the adoption of e-mobility, empower youth, and reduce operational costs in the boda boda sector.
Boda boda operators have been complaining about the growing cost of fuel.

According to the government, these brand-new motorcycles will protect the boda boda business from rising gasoline costs.
So, what are your thoughts or feelings about this new era of boda boda riders?
