When you think about the future of mobility in Africa, there’s one country that’s revving ahead in the race toward sustainable transportation — Kenya.
With motorcycles making up over 50% of the country’s total vehicle fleet, the two-wheel segment has become the heartbeat of Kenya’s transport ecosystem. And it’s not just about convenience or cost, motorcycles are shaping up to be the biggest driver of electric vehicle (EV) adoption in the region.
Motorcycles at the Forefront of Change
Kenya’s love affair with motorcycles isn’t new. Affordable, nimble, and able to navigate congested streets with ease, they’ve become an essential part of daily life from personal commuting to last-mile deliveries.
In 2024 alone:
- 7% of all new motorcycle registrations were electric
- 4% were electric tuk tuks
- 1.1% were electric buses and minibuses
- 0.18% were electric cars
Clearly, two wheels are driving the EV story.
Why Kenya Is Adopting EV Motorcycles Faster Than Cars?
- Lower Running Costs – Electricity is cheaper than petrol, and battery swapping or charging costs a fraction of fuel expenses.
- Better for the Environment – Zero tailpipe emissions help cut down on urban air pollution.
- Ideal for Short Distances – Most motorcycle trips are under 50km, making them perfect for current EV battery ranges.
- Supportive Ecosystem – Battery swapping networks, charging hubs, and government incentives are making EV adoption easier.
