The use of electric motorcycles is rapidly increasing in Africa. The continent has leapfrogged over the mature internal combustion motorcycle market towards electric.
The need for affordable transport is driving this trend. Cheap electricity has paved the path for mass adoption of electric bikes, meeting the demand for low-cost commuting.
