Find out more about Roam Electric here.

Roam Electric is a Swedish-founded, Kenyan-based company transforming African mobility by manufacturing affordable, durable electric motorcycles designed specifically for local conditions.

The company addresses a critical problem: Africa’s 25 million motorcycles are predominantly petrol-powered, costly to operate, and heavily polluting. With fuel costs having increased 123% over five years and air pollution linked to 1.1 million premature deaths, Roam’s electric motorcycles offer a solution that is 80% cheaper to run than conventional petrol bikes.

The company has achieved remarkable traction, capturing 40% of Kenya’s electric motorcycle market and partnering with major platforms including Uber, Bolt, DHL, and M-KOPA.

The Financial Times recognised Roam as one of Africa’s fastest-growing companies in 2025, with revenue growth of 550% between 2020-23 and annual recurring revenue of €7.5m.

Roam operates East Africa’s largest electric motorcycle assembly plant at 10,000 square metres and holds what it believes is the only manufacturing licence in Kenya.
