Nairobi, Kenya - In a landmark move, Spiro, a pioneer in sustainable urban mobility solutions, has joined forces with MOGO Kenya, a leading financial services firm. This partnership kicks off with Spiro providing 50 state-of-the-art electric motorbikes to Mogo in Nairobi. This initial delivery is the first step in a broader collaboration, marking a major milestone in Spiro's expansion and commitment to sustainable transportation across Africa.
The collaboration with Mogo Kenya, which has empowered over 100,000 customers through motor vehicle and motorbike loans, aligns seamlessly with Spiro's vision of enhancing livelihoods through sustainable energy.
"Our partnership with Mogo represents a significant stride towards our mission of electrifying mobility on a large scale in Africa," said Kaushik Burman, CEO of Spiro. "The delivery of these 50 electric bikes is just the beginning. We are poised to see an increasing presence of Spiro EVs on the roads of Kenya, driving us towards a more sustainable future."

This strategic alliance is a testament to Spiro’s dedication to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting clean energy. As Africa's largest EV player, Spiro is uniquely positioned to respond to the growing demand for environmentally friendly transportation solutions.
The partnership with Mogo, like our previous collaboration with Bboxx in Rwanda, signals a shift in Spiro's corporate strategy. We are evolving to become a more asset-light, energy-as-a-service company, employing brand-agnostic software to enhance the entire EV ecosystem in Africa. This approach involves partnering with other businesses for certain aspects of fleet management and energy provision, thereby optimizing our operations and expanding our reach.
Kaushik Burman emphasizes, "This is the direction Spiro is moving in, and we will see more such partnerships in 2024. Our aim is to create a sustainable, efficient, and accessible mobility landscape across Africa."
