One of the major concerns about electric motorbikes in Kenya has been the charging duration. Many think that it takes a longer time to charge an electric motorbike, hence inconveniencing someone who might have an urgent travel, especially a boda boda rider.
As much as there is some truth in the above statement, with Spiro Kenya, a rider does not have to worry about the charging duration because the company has what are called “Battery-Swapping Stations” across major towns in Kenya such as Nairobi and Mombasa.
Battery-Swapping Stations are specially designated areas where riders go to swap their batteries with fully-charged ones, eliminating the wastage of time that might have resulted if the rider were to charge the depleted battery.
Battery-swapping stations have helped to boost the electric boda boda business across the country. The popularity of electric motorbikes in Kenya continues to grow as Kenyans rush to have a piece of the silence and the convenience that comes with it.

As the transport sector remains a critical focus for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, innovations like battery-swapping technology are poised to play a pivotal role in achieving the nation’s climate goals.
Kenya’s journey toward sustainable mobility is gaining momentum, and the collaboration between Spiro Kenya and Global Moving Experts represents a significant step forward in the country’s transition to a greener future.
