Powering a cleaner, more prosperous Kenya

Roam Electric: Powering a cleaner, more prosperous Kenya

Kenya’s transport sector is on the brink of a green transformation, thanks to Roam Electric’s innovative approach to sustainable mobility. Built and designed locally, Roam’s electric motorcycles and buses are not just cutting carbon emissions—they are revolutionising Nairobi’s transport landscape by lowering fuel costs and creating quality, skilled jobs. With transport accounting for a large share of carbon emissions in Kenya, this shift to e-mobility is a crucial step towards a cleaner, healthier future.

A greener future for Nairobi
Roam Electric is tackling one of Nairobi’s most pressing issues: air pollution. By replacing petrol-powered motorcycles with innovative Roam Air electric motorbikes, the company is significantly reducing carbon emissions and noise pollution in the city. Unlike traditional motorbikes, Roam Air produces zero CO₂, contributing to cleaner air and better health.

For a city where motorcycles are an essential mode of transport and employment, this clean transition is a game-changer.
Beyond the environmental benefits, Roam’s impact extends to economic empowerment. The company is creating job opportunities across the entire value chain, from manufacturing and maintenance to battery charging and distribution. Workers like Wilfreda, an operator at a Roam Charging Hub, are at the forefront of this transition.

Wilfreda comments:“Roam encourages talent and gives us the space to be creative. I feel a sense of community with riders. They tell us about the bikes and what we need to adjust. They appreciate that they’re part of the conversation.”



Empowering entrepreneurs and changing lives
Roam’s electric motorcycles are more than just a low-carbon transport alternative—they are a financial lifeline for thousands of entrepreneurs who rely on motorbikes for their businesses. With Nairobi’s economy heavily dependent on delivery services and boda-boda riders, reducing operational costs can mean the difference between people just getting by and thriving.

A great example is Lilian, a full-time, independent delivery driver in Nairobi. Lilian depends on her Roam Air e-motorbike to make a decent living for her family. What is the biggest impact of switching to an electric vehicle? The money she saves.

“Roam Air saves us a lot of fuel and oil change costs. We can save our money for other things. My life is better because I can save around 300 shillings a day. I use that money to pay school fees for my child. I can also be home to charge [the battery].”
 Lilian says

For many riders like Lilian, the financial benefits of a Roam Air go beyond personal savings. Lower costs mean higher profits, enabling entrepreneurs to reinvest in their businesses and improve their families’ quality of life. The convenience of battery swapping at Roam Hubs ensures that riders spend less time refuelling and more time on the road, maximising their daily earnings.

A better city environment for all
The impact of Roam Air goes beyond its riders. Lilian shares that her customers enjoy a better experience and appreciate the comfort and quietness of electric transport. She has also noted an improvement in the city’s atmosphere—less smog, less noise, and a more pleasant city environment for everyone.

“Many people prefer these bikes. Customers say this motorcycle is cool and quiet. Roam Air is clean and comfortable. There’s no noise. It’s friendly to the environment, so there’s no pollution or fumes.”

As a mother, Lilian hopes to see a petrol-free future for Kenya—one where electric mobility is the norm, not the exception.“I hope that Roam Air is used country-wide in the future, so the environment will be clean.”
