Across Africa, electric adoption is moving fastest on two and three wheels — because the payback period is measured in months.
Daily economics for a rider
- Petrol okada: about ₦4,200 per day in fuel for 120 km of work
- Electric equivalent: about ₦900 per day in electricity
- Daily saving: roughly ₦3,300, or ₦85,000 a month
Battery swapping
Swap stations solve the two problems that matter for commercial riders: downtime and upfront cost. You buy the bike without the battery, then pay per swap — which keeps the purchase price low and turns charging into a two-minute stop.
Electric keke for last-mile transport
Three-wheelers carry more, cost less to run and are far quieter than petrol equivalents. For operators running multiple units, the fleet saving compounds quickly and maintenance downtime falls sharply.
Financing
Two- and three-wheel purchases are financed on shorter tenors than cars, typically 6 to 24 months, with the same 10% or 20% equity structure.
Frequently asked questions
- How far does an electric okada go on one charge?
- Commercial models typically deliver 90–140 km depending on load and battery size, with swap options for continuous operation.
- Are spare parts available?
- Yes, through our manufacturer partners. Electric two-wheelers also have far fewer wearing parts than petrol equivalents.
