With the objective of tackling climate change challenges in Africa, Spiro motorbikes embarked on their journey in the Rwandan market with an initial fleet of 300 motorcycles and 30 charging points situated throughout Kigali, the capital city.

According to CEO Jules Samain, the Rwandan market has embraced our electric motorcycles with enthusiasm.

"The recognition of their eco-friendly, cost-effective, and efficient transportation solution has significantly contributed to our success in the region," he said.

Characterized by their sleek design, Spiro motorbikes offer exceptional performance, durability, and comfort. Additionally, these motorcycles adeptly navigate local terrains and climates by minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing noise and air pollution, thereby contributing to the creation of healthier and more livable cities.

Beyond their environmental benefits, Spiro motorcycles are also more economical to operate and maintain. Samain notes that Motorbike Taxi (MBT) owners can easily transition from their traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) bikes to new Spiro Electric Motorbikes, thanks to special arrangements for taxi riders.

Moreover, Spiro is collaborating closely with financial institutions such as Bboxx to offer financing options that enhance accessibility to electric motorcycles across various segments of the population, while also improving financial opportunities for existing riders.

With a network of over 30 active swap stations, Spiro riders can swiftly exchange depleted batteries for fully charged ones, eliminating the need for long charging queues. Spiro’s services often encompass insurance, mobile phone contracts, and other benefits bundled into the payment.

Presently, as the preeminent and largest electric motorbike manufacturer in the Rwandan market, Spiro is committed to addressing the climate emergency, enhancing public health, and fostering economic growth.

Since its launch in Rwanda, the company has provided employment to over 130 individuals, prioritizing gender inclusivity within its workforce and creating opportunities for everyone.

Furthermore, Spiro is expanding its battery swap station count to 50 and investing in local assembly facilities for motorbikes and batteries, thereby bolstering economic growth.

The Rwandan government has exhibited steadfast dedication to green growth and digital transformation through various incentives and policies aimed at bolstering the expansion of electric mobility.

Spiro’s commitment to combat climate change by replacing fossil fuel-based vehicles and motorcycles with clean, efficient, and affordable electric alternatives extends beyond Rwanda to include countries such as Benin, Togo, and Uganda.
