Electric motorcycles continue to change the way people get around in many parts of the world. More and more people are moving away from fossil fuels and internal combustion engines, especially when it comes to urban mobility. In Kampala, the capital of Uganda, for example, electric motorcycle taxis play a major role in the mobility of its citizenry.
Spiro is the biggest electric motorcycle manufacturer in Uganda, and is largely responsible for the electric motorcycle revolution in the African country. The company, which was just founded in 2022, has already supplied in excess of 140,000 electric motorcycle taxis to the country's capital of Kampala. With such rapid development, the brand is now eyeing expansion, and a recent investment amounting to $63 million through partnerships with Societe Generale and GuarantCo, will certainly allow the company to accelerate its innovation.
