Electric Motorcycles in Kenya

  Electric motorcycles have exploded in popularity across Kenya, especially for boda boda (motorcycle taxi) riders and last-mile delivery . As of early 2026, they're no longer a niche experiment — they've hit mainstream adoption. Explosive Growth in 2025–2026 Kenya's motorcycle registrations surged dramatically in 2025, with the overall market jumping ~128–145% year-over-year to around 163,000–168,000 new units. Electric models drove much of that momentum: Electric motorcycles captured 15.3% of all new registrations in 2025 (up from ~7.1% in 2024 and just 3.6% in 2023). Over 25,000 electric units were registered in 2025 alone. Total registered electric motorcycles exceeded 30,000 by end-2025, with cumulative EVs (mostly two-wheelers) hitting ~35,000. This places Kenya among the world's fastest-growing electric two-wheeler markets, rivaling places like Vietnam in pace. The shift is fueled by sky-high fuel costs (boda riders often spent KSh 500–1,000 daily on petrol)...

The EV Slowdown in 2026: Causes, Impacts, and Future Outlook

As we enter February 2026, the electric vehicle (EV) sector is experiencing a notable slowdown, marking a pivotal shift in the automotive landscape. What was once hailed as the inevitable future of mobility—driven by aggressive policy incentives, technological advancements, and environmental imperatives—has encountered headwinds that have tempered growth projections. Reputable sources such as Cox Automotive and Automotive News report a sharp decline in EV registrations, with a 48% plunge in December 2025 following the repeal of key tax credits. This downturn is not isolated; global forecasts from S&P Global and PwC indicate stagnant or declining EV adoption in mature markets like the U.S. and Europe, while emerging regions like Africa, including Kenya , show resilient but uneven progress. Major automakers have collectively written off over $55 billion in EV investments, signaling a strategic pivot toward hybrids and internal combustion engines (ICE) amid regulatory changes and...
