Summary
More than 5,000 electric motorcycles are expected on Uber’s Kenya platform by year-end, up from 2,500 now, marking a major expansion in one of its African markets.
Uber said the increase will come as riders shift away from internal-combustion bikes, accelerating the company’s push to electrify two-wheeler transport.
Imran Manji, Uber’s East Africa general manager, tied the Kenya plan to Uber’s broader goal of becoming a zero-emissions mobility platform globally by 2040.
