Electrifying
Africa's Last Mile.
Tanzania's boda boda riders are among the hardest working people on the continent. Half their income goes to petrol. We're here to change that.
Half your income. Gone before noon.
A boda boda rider in Dar es Salaam can run 80km a day. Average fuel cost is TZS 10,000 of that, every single day. After loan repayments, maintenance, and food, there is almost nothing left.
It's not a lifestyle problem. It's a structural one. The motorcycle that gives a rider his independence also keeps him locked in a cycle of fuel dependency that is nearly impossible to break out of.
We built the path to electric for riders who can't start from scratch.
A new electric motorcycle costs TZS 5–7 million. Most riders already own their bike. Kinetiq works with that reality, not against it.
We structure the deals, manage the supply chain, and work with institutional partners to bring electric vehicles to market at economics that actually work for the rider on the ground.
When the rider wins,
everything else follows.
Tanzania has 1.5 million petrol motorcycles and millions of riders building their lives around them. We are not asking them to start over. We are building the infrastructure: the supply chain, the institutional partnerships, the technology, to meet them where they are. When this works for a rider in Dar es Salaam, it works for riders in Kampala, Nairobi, Kigali. Tanzania is the proof of concept. The continent is the opportunity.
