A new electric motorcycle venture has been launched in Kenya, thanks to a partnership between Kofa, a Ghanaian energy storage company, and Autopax, a Kenyan assembly and distribution company. 

The venture aims to provide sustainable and affordable transportation solutions for the African market, especially for boda-boda services, corporate fleets, and personal use.

The partnership was formalized at a signing ceremony held at Autopax’s headquarters in Nairobi, where the electric motorcycle model was showcased. The model, which has been designed and tested in Kenya and Ghana, is adapted to the challenging conditions and diverse needs of the African market. The model features a durable and efficient design, a battery swap system, and a contactless payment option.

The partnership aligns with the Government Green Transport Initiative, launched by President William Ruto, which seeks to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change in Kenya. The partnership also demonstrates the commitment of Kenya and Ghana to lead the way in developing sustainable mobility solutions for Africa.

A battery swap network for reliable power

One of the key features of the electric motorcycle venture is the battery swap network, which will be established by Kofa, a Ghanaian company that specializes in energy storage solutions. The battery swap network will allow customers to exchange their depleted batteries for fully charged ones at designated stations without having to wait for charging or plug in their motorcycles.

Erik Nygard, CEO of Kofa, said that the battery swap network will revolutionize the electric vehicle landscape in Kenya by providing reliable and accessible power for motorcycles. He said that the battery swap network will also create jobs and income opportunities for local entrepreneurs, who will operate and maintain the stations.

A local assembly and distribution network for accessibility and support

Another key feature of the electric motorcycle venture is the local assembly and distribution network, which will be overseen by Autopax, a Kenyan company that provides assembly and distribution services for various products. Autopax will be responsible for assembling the motorcycles and producing local components in compliance with the Kenyan localization regulations. Autopax will also develop a robust distribution network that will cover Kenya and the wider East and Central Africa region, ensuring that the motorcycles are widely available and supported.

Joy Kalua, CEO of Autopax, said that the partnership with Kofa is a significant step towards sustainable transportation and innovation in Kenya. She said that the partnership will cater to the specific requirements of Kenyan enterprises and visionaries who need eco-friendly and economical transportation options.

The venture will provide a strong solution that addresses environmental issues and offers feasible, economical, and dependable transportation choices for the evolving market. The venture will also empower the aspirations of the African community by creating jobs, income, and skills for the local population.

With this visionary partnership, Kofa and Autopax are creating a brighter and more secure future for Kenya’s and Africa’s digital economy and its people.
