MOGO and Spiro Kenya, Africa’s largest electric vehicle player, have signed an asset financing agreement that will see the deployment of 1,000 electric motorbikes across Kenya by the end of July 2024.

The objective of this partnership is to further promote adoption of electric motorcycles.

This will reduce the environmental and health impact caused by greenhouse gas emissions from transportation and enhance urban mobility.

Partnerships like this are crucial as we expand our footprint and reinforce our position as Africa’s largest EV player.”
