The focus of the motorcycle has been to design a robust vehicle with best in class carrying capacity, range and top speed to enable mass adoption of clean transport across the continent without the need for additional infrastructure. This motorcycle is the first fully adapted electric motorcycle for the commercial market on the continent, while at the same time almost reaching price parity with local petrol motorcycles (Price $1500) and with up to 70% lower running cost. Creating a new standard for transport on the African continent.

Based on a new innovative frame the motorcycle accommodates for a dual battery system. The new configuration allows users to remove the battery and plug it into any normal outlet at home, just like your phone, or charge the battery in public charging and swapping stations. The frame is engineered to tackle all terrains, while also accommodating for a storage compartment replacing the fuel tank, interchangeability with local spare parts and increased carrying capacity on the extended subframe. The vehicle has been developed from research by Roam’s engineering team in Nairobi.
