Bolt boosts electric mobility in Kenya with an ambitious project
The mobility company Bolt is embarking on an energetic initiative in Kenya, with the prospect of deploying 5,000 electric motorcycles on Kenyan roads in the near future. This maneuver, planned to unfold over three years, aims to revolutionize transportation with an affordable solution for renting two-wheelers.
A strategic partnership for financial accessibility
Bolt, in collaboration with the platform M-KOPA, is offering its users an attractive financial model. Indeed, eligible drivers will be granted a substantial reduction of 20% on the initial cost of the motorcycle, significantly reducing their monthly rental expenses.
Electric within reach
The African electric motorcycle market is experiencing positive dynamics, with Bolt’s involvement. The Estonian company adopts an innovative approach by offering cost-effective electric motorcycles manufactured on the continent. The specifically targeted Roam and Ampersand models benefit from a competitive pricing position ranging between 1,500 and 2,000 euros.
Economy at the heart of the approach
The alliance between Bolt and M-KOPA represents a major economic lever for drivers, enabling them to reduce the cost of owning a motorcycle by up to 40% compared to traditional thermal models. This factor is crucial in the choice of users who wish to minimize costs associated with purchasing and maintaining a motorized vehicle.
