JAKARTA - In recent months, battery exchange stations for electric motors have arrived around Kenya's capital,▁menawarkan. This marks the revolution of electric motorcycles in the region.
The battery exchange system not only saves time, but also saves money for more than one million Kenyan motorcyclists, who still use commercial motorcycles.

"It doesn't make sense economically and in businesses for them to get a battery that nearly doubles the cost of bicycles," Steve Juma, co-founder of electric bicycle company Ecobodaa, quoted Reuters as saying.
Currently, Ecobodaa owns 50 test electric motorcycles on the road and plans to have 1,000 by the end of 2023 which is sold for around 1,500 US dollars (IDR 23.4 million) each, almost the same as other commercial motorcycles.
It's just that, after the initial purchase, this sufficiently sturdy electric motorcycle will be much more efficient than a gasoline-fueled motorcycle.
"On ordinary bicycles, I will use around 700-800 KenyanAYA fuel (IDR 890-102 thousand) every day, but with this bike, when I swap a battery I get one battery at a price of 300angkat (IDR 38 thousand)," said Kevin Macharia, 28, who was carrying goods and passengers aroundlock.
