Riding electric in Nairobi
Nairobi is one of the best cities in Africa for electric two-wheelers. Average commutes are short enough for a single charge, traffic speeds are low enough that a 500W to 750W motor keeps pace easily, and the cost of petrol has made the monthly saving impossible to ignore. What has been missing is a supplier who supports the bike after the sale — spares, battery health checks, warranty work and riders who can reach a workshop the same day.
That is what we built. Every bike we sell in Nairobi comes with a test ride first, a warranty you can actually claim in the city, and a service network that stocks the parts for the models we supply. We deliver across Westlands, Kilimani, Lavington, Karen, Kileleshwa, Parklands, South B and C, Embakasi, Syokimau, Ruaka, Kiambu Road, Ngong Road and the CBD, with nationwide courier delivery for riders outside the city.
Which bike suits your Nairobi route?
A Kilimani to Westlands commute is a very different job to a Syokimau to CBD run or a full delivery shift around Kasarani. Range, tyre width and brake type matter more than headline motor power, and the right answer depends on distance, road surface and load.
Short city commute (under 20km/day)
A 48V 15Ah commuter ebike with 2.5-inch tyres, mudguards and lights. Charge twice a week, park indoors, spend under KES 500 a month on electricity.
Long commute (20-50km/day)
A 48V 20Ah fat tyre ebike. The extra capacity covers the return trip with headroom and the wider tyres absorb Nairobi's worst estate roads.
Delivery and courier work
A reinforced cargo or delivery ebike with hydraulic brakes, a frame-mounted rack and a second battery so you never miss the lunch or dinner peak.
Weekend and trail riding
A dual-suspension or fat tyre model with torque to spare for Ngong Hills, Karura and Limuru climbs.
Apartment living
A folding ebike with a removable battery — carry the pack to your unit and leave the frame in the parking bay.
Business and staff transport
Fleet packages with GPS tracking, servicing SLAs and per-rider monthly billing for Nairobi-based companies.
