OUR VISION: THE WORLD’S FIRST MASS MARKET SHIFT TO EVs
The world needs to leave fossil fuels in the ground Electric vehicle hardware is getting cheaper The ”tipping point” is not in California, it’s here! A true ”mass market” shift Cheaper, Better. Just happens to be electric.
SLIDE 5
THE OPPORTUNITY
Rwanda:
- Dense concentration of
taxi motorcycles
- Motorbikes and fuel not
cheap: Strong ‘value proposition’ for drivers, and for govt.
- Green governance
- Ease of doing business
Region:
- EAC: 3 Million motos, $5.9
Bn p.a. industry
IDEALLY PLACED TO LEAD THE WORLD
SLIDE 6
- Familiar style
- More power
- Cheaper to buy and power
- Disc brakes for safety
- Chosen by Moto drivers
OUR SOLUTION:
WE MAKE MOTORCYCLES THAT ARE BETTER AND CHEAPER, AND JUST HAPPEN TO BE ELECTRIC. SWAP, DON’T RECHARGE PAY AS YOU GO, DON’T BUY
Minimum behavior change required
- No wait for recharging
- Familiar: just like petrol station

RWANDA NATIONAL FEASIBILITY STUDY
CONSIDERING REPLACEMENT OF COMBUSTION ENGINES WITH EVs
- Viability
- Policy options e.g. electricity
pricing
- We provide real-world data
- Real ambition

LOCAL BENEFITS
E-MOTOS HELP MEET OTHER NATIONAL POLICY PRIORITIES.
- Replaces $150m p.a. in imported
fuel and engine lubricant with ‘made in Rwanda’ electricity.
- Save each driver up to $1100 p.a.
- Air quality: Zero tailpipe exhaust.
Carbureted motorcycles = 16x worse than EURO 3 cars.
- Green & high tech jobs. 2700 +
100,000
- Exports
SLIDE 9
GLOBAL BENEFITS
REDUCING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
- 75% net reduction
- 5 tons GHG reduction p.a.
- Electrifying 25,000 motos
saves 125,000 tons of CO2-e per year.
- Renewables save a further
23%, but adding bikes and batteries better ROI.
- EAC: 3 million bodas emit
20.5mT CO2-e
SLIDE 10
PHASE 2 NOW – WITH FONERWA SUPPORT
- Putting 22 motorcycles on the road
- Real-world use, motars paying for
vehicles and power
- Test charging station + battery
depot network
- See what works best
- Identifying policy barriers, needs,
and opportunities
- Raise capital for scaling
Phase 3: Commercial production Starting late 2019
