Spiro Accelerates Electric Mobility in Africa with Milestone Achievement

Africa-focused e-mobility company Spiro has announced a major milestone: 95,000 electric motorcycles now in circulation across its operational markets. This achievement underscores the growing adoption of clean mobility solutions on the continent and addresses rising demand for alternatives that reduce fuel costs while lowering emissions.

“With over 95,000 electric motorcycles on the road across Africa and 2,500 battery-swapping stations deployed, we are no longer demonstrating potential; we are demonstrating scale,” stated CEO Kaushik Burman. “Through continued expansion and strategic partnerships, Spiro is helping build a cleaner, more accessible mobility ecosystem for all Africans.”

The company’s growth trajectory reflects the increasing viability of electric vehicles in African markets, where high fuel prices and concerns about environmental impact are driving demand for alternatives.

Expansion into New Markets

Spiro also announced its launch in Cameroon, expanding its operational footprint to seven countries plus a pilot program in Tanzania. This strategic move strengthens Spiro’s presence across key African mobility hubs and reinforces its commitment to scaling clean transportation solutions continent-wide.

Women in E-Mobility Initiative

In partnership with Entrepreneurial Solutions Partners (ESP), Spiro unveiled a new initiative focused on empowering women entrepreneurs in the e-mobility sector. The program will provide access to electric motorcycles, financing options, training, and integration into mobility platforms—addressing structural barriers that limit women’s participation in this rapidly growing industry.

“This partnership represents an opportunity to build a more inclusive mobility ecosystem by creating concrete economic opportunities for women,” said Eric Kacou of ESP. “By combining Spiro’s e-mobility infrastructure with our entrepreneurship expertise, we aim to develop a scalable model that empowers women while contributing to Africa’s sustainable mobility transition.”

The Women in E-Mobility initiative will launch initially in Rwanda before expanding across the continent—creating economic opportunities and promoting inclusive growth within the clean transportation sector.
