Sustainable development

Our commitment to the SDGs

Our riders use electric bikes powered by Kenya's grid - over 90% renewable. This means less fossil fuel dependence and more demand for battery swap networks across Nairobi. Charging stays accessible.

Our riders earn 30-50% more once they switch from rental bikes to ownership. We finance bikes for people most banks won't touch. The work creates more jobs - in delivery, repairs, and battery services.

We finance bikes for riders the formal banking system ignores. Mobile money payments and fleet tracking prove digital lending works for informal markets. Local assembly and maintenance grow with us.

Electric bikes cut air pollution, noise, and traffic in Nairobi. As cities like Kisumu and Mombasa grow, clean last-mile delivery becomes essential. We're part of that shift.

Each petrol bike replaced saves 1.5-2.5 tonnes of CO2 per year. Our scale opens up carbon credits and climate-positive financing across East Africa's gig economy.
