Roam Signs New Partnership With Mogo

Electric mobility company, Roam, has announced a strategic partnership with Mogo, an East African based asset financier.

This collaboration marks a step towards advancing the adoption of electric motorcycles in Africa, empowering individuals to transition to electric motorcycles through a financing package that enables boda boda riders to increase their daily earnings by 30 percent.

​This initiative enables Roam to scale quicker in the adoption of electric motorcycles to a broader market.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Mogo to tap into the expanding market of boda boda riders eager to transition to electric motorcycles amidst soaring petrol prices.” said Mikael Gånge, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Roam.

“By leveraging Mogo’s expertise in asset financing, we’re able to offer flexible financing options that make sure customers save money on day one. At Roam, our mission is clear, we want to provide the best and most affordable electric motorcycle to the market and Mogo is a great partner in accelerating that mission,” Gånge added.

Roam’s electric motorcycles offer features and design tailored for various use cases, including personal commuting, cargo transportation, ride sharing, and taxi services. With Mogo’s support, Roam aims to accelerate the deployment of these electric motorcycles, driving positive environmental and socio-economic impact in communities across Kenya.

“Our partnership with Roam will expand access to electric motorcycles in Kenya,” says Rauls Leitis, Business Development Project Manager at Mogo. “We see that the electric motorcycle market is ever expanding and with Roam’s innovative products that enable customers to not only charge at home but also at the Roam Hubs, we believe the electric motorcycle market will eventually become larger than the petrol one.”
