Our clients keep Africa moving
We build, finance, and operate Africa’s first locally built end-to-end electric mobility ecosystem for commercial 2-wheel riders.
Our Impact
Our riders save 30% daily, avoiding 1.5M metric tons of COâ‚‚ emissions while keeping Africa’s cities moving. With affordable electric motorcycles, seamless battery swaps, and flexible financing, Zembo helps them earn more, and spend less while keeping their environment clean.
Financial Impact
Better incomes: Riders save $500 annually through reduced fuel and maintenance costs, achieving greater financial stability and improving their livelihoods.
Environmental Impact
Powered by renewable energy: Wherever Zembo operates, we rely on renewable energy sources to power our bikes. In Uganda—where 96% of electricity comes from renewables—Zembo utilizes the abundant waters of the River Nile to drive sustainable mobility solutions.
Less carbon emissions: Each Zembo bike avoids 1.5 MT of carbon emissions annually—7.5 MT over the bike’s lifetime.
Health Impact
Better air quality: Air pollution is a critical health issue in Africa, causing approximately 834,000 premature deaths annually (WHO, 2023). In Uganda alone, it accounts for
26,000 deaths each year. By reducing transport emissions by up to 25%, Zembo contributes to improved air quality and better public health across the continent.
Job Creation
Locally made: Zembo bikes are assembled locally, creating jobs and strengthening supply chains in the countries where we operate.
Empowering women in tech: Zembo is committed to inclusivity and actively supports women in tech. Through partnerships with women-led organizations, such as Girls with Tools in Uganda, we create opportunities for women in the renewable energy and tech sectors.
