🏍️ Roam Air gives you four driving modes to master every ride! Speed lovers, Sports Mode (Mode 4) is your go-to for peak performance and getting out of tight spots fast. 🚀However, if you need to go the distance ECO Mode (Mode 1) is the best as it extends your range by optimizing battery usage. For everyday rides, Standard Mode (Mode 2) is your best friend. And when you’re hauling heavy loads or climbing hills, Power Mode (Mode 3) has your back—just remember to switch out when you don't need that extra boost.🌍 ⚡ Switch on the go and ride smart with Roam Air! #ElectricMotorcycle #RoamAir #RideYourWay

About us
Do you think the way we move in cities needs to change? Us too. Roam exists to provide accessible, low-cost, and low-emission transport solutions for the vast population across Kenya and the greater African continent who primarily rely on public transport to get around. In Africa, the devastating impact of the climate and air pollution crisis, driven mainly by fossil fuel-powered transportation, is becoming even more apparent. This calls for us to reimagine how we commute. 10 of the largest cities by 2100 will be in Africa. These cities’ residents transport needs must be addressed. Picture a world where all these motorcycles and buses were electric. That is the future we are working towards here at Roam! We are designing, developing and deploying electric motorcycles and buses that are affordable, reliable and tailored to meet the unique needs of African cities. We are opening Africa to a new frontier, a new electric revolution and in the process changing the way we move around the continent. All the while impacting our users' lives fundamentally by lowering transport fares and increasing their income. Currently, we are operating in East Africa’s largest electric motorcycle assembly plant called Roam Park. This facility is contributing towards the electrification of Africa’s boda boda sector. We are actively working towards a future where we can all move around in a sustainable, unfragmented public transport sector, a future free of climate disasters. Roam is going after a large opportunity and is currently hundreds of people strong, all working to actualize this electric future.

With Roam Air, you enjoy an affordable ride with reduced maintenance costs as you no longer need to replace spark plugs, oil, and air filters. Your only service cost will be replacing brake pads, which last longer than on other motorcycles. This is thanks to the motor's regenerative braking, which extends range by converting kinetic energy into a battery. The more the rider coasts without accelerating, the more the motorcycle uses the momentum to recharge the battery. 🌍 Also, with Regen, every time you brake, you’re extending your range. 🌱 Maximize your ride, save on costs, and enjoy the future of motorcycling with Roam Air! 💨 #ElectricMotorcycle #SustainableRiding #RoamAir

🔥We had a thrilling experience at the 19th Annual Kaizen Congress hosted by the Kenya Association of Manufacturers and Kaizen Institute. Our talented engineers, Martin Oluoch and Ngenoh Vivian, stole the show with their compelling presentations, showcasing three unique case studies that set us apart in the realm of electric mobility. 🚀 ⚡Engaging with industry leaders like Akshay Shah, Vinod Grover, and Nihal Shah we delved deep into Kaizen 4.0, circular economy practices, and the power of continuous improvement. The visit to Associated Battery Manufacturers during our GEMBA tour was nothing short of inspiring—we witnessed firsthand how they’ve mastered Kaizen to elevate their manufacturing processes. 🔋 🔧Roam is thrilled to be a part of the KAM-Kaizen program, which has been driving operational excellence and contributing to the growth of local industries since 2005. The future is electric, and we’re charging forward! 🔌 #Kaizen #ContinuousImprovement #RoamElectric #OperationalExcellence #KaizenCongress #Innovation

Ahead of the Nairobi City Marathon, together with UN Environment Programme we were delighted to partner with Roam to support Athletics Kenya in achieving its sustainability goals. This collaboration aims to safeguard athletes’ health and integrate #sustainability into sports through e-mobility. The transportation sector is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in Africa. To mitigate these emissions and foster a #sustainable environment, adopting eco-friendly modes of transport is crucial. Athletics Kenya, with the help of SEI and UNEP, has been prioritizing sustainable transportation options to reduce their carbon footprint and promote a greener future for sports. CC:Golazo Group
