The project seeks to boost the adoption of sustainable and cost-effective transportation solutions for electric motorcycle riders in the city.

The hubs will offer affordable battery rentals, optimized charging facilities, and swift after-sales services, with each hub projected to handle 400 to 500 transactions daily for both battery charging and rentals.

In a press statement, Roam revealed that it is one of three demonstration sites selected in Africa by ENERGICA to develop region-specific, innovative clean energy technologies.

“While Roam focuses on expanding clean transport in Kenya, other demonstration sites include Madagascar, where nano-grids are being developed for renewable water and food production, and Freetown, Sierra Leone, where biogas and water purification systems are advancing energy, water, and fertilizer production,” the company stated.

The new Roam Hubs aim to make electric mobility more accessible, transforming Nairobi’s urban transportation landscape into a cleaner and more efficient system.

Solar charging, which underpins the affordability of the hubs, offers additional savings of KSh 10-15 per kWh compared to conventional electricity.

Roam emphasized the alignment of the ENERGICA project with its broader mission of advancing low-emission transport solutions.

“The ENERGICA project aligns seamlessly with Roam’s mission to provide innovative, low-emission transport solutions,” the statement read.
