RoamCharge helps bodaboda riders switch to electric motorcycles by connecting them to the nearby solar-powered charging and swapping kiosks.
Boda boda riders are the backbone of transportation in Kenya, yet they spend a large portion of their daily income on fuel and motorcycle maintenance. While electric motorcycles offer a cheaper and cleaner alternative, adoption remains slow because riders face: - High upfront costs of electric motorcycles. - Limited charging and battery-swapping stations. - Difficulty locating available charging points. - Unreliable electricity in some regions. - Fear of running out of power during work. These challenges prevent thousands of riders from benefiting from electric mobility.
RoamCharge is a digital platform that connects boda boda riders to nearby solar-powered charging and battery-swapping kiosks. Using the RoamCharge platform, riders can: - Find nearby charging and battery-swapping stations. - Check battery availability in real time. - Make secure digital payments. - Earn EcoPoints rewards for sustainable transport. For kiosk operators, the platform provides customer visibility, payment management, and business analytics.
