Electric bikes (e-bikes) are starting to gain attention in Uganda, and they can bring several economic, environmental, and social benefits. We are very proud to see one of our colleagues, Kabogooza, who supports Simoshi with all institutional Improved cook stoves (IICS) maintenance, recently purchased an electric bike from Spiro.
Spiro is a fast-growing electric mobility company operating in several African countries (Uganda, Kenya, Benin, Togo, Rwanda). They focus on electric motorcycles (e-bodas) and are expanding their charging/swapping infrastructure across Uganda. Kabogooza got the bike on lease-to-own, paying UGX 10,000 daily - equivalent to approximately USD 2.80.
We are proud to see our colleagues contributing towards global warming and climate change. No tailpipe pollution, which helps cut down on air pollution in towns like Kampala and Entebbe. This supports Uganda’s green energy transition, especially since the country’s electricity grid is largely powered by hydropower.
