Roam is a technology-driven electric mobility company that designs and develops electric motorcycles and electric buses for emerging markets, starting in Kenya.
In the huge East African market and the greater African continent motorcycles and buses are the preferred and sometimes the only mode of transport available, so there is an urgent need to convert to an affordable, sustainable electric standard. Roam's innovative products can achieve significant carbon emission reductions—over 90% for motorcycles and 80% for electric buses—while also addressing local air pollution and enhancing financial value for users. In many African cities, buses and motorcycles are essential to the transport sector, yet traditional petrol and diesel models contribute significantly to air pollution and operational costs. With transportation accounting for 10% of Africa's emissions—an amount projected to grow with urbanization—Roam offers a sustainable solution by providing locally assembled electric vehicles that serve as cleaner and more efficient alternatives to internal combustion engines. Their state-of-the-art production facility in Kenya has an annual capacity of over 50,000 electric motorcycles, positioning Roam as a leader in the transition to electric mobility in the region.
