About Ampersand
We bring cheaper, better motorcycles to the 5 million motorcycle taxi drivers in East Africa. Our bikes also happen to be electric. Our goal is to kick off the world's first mass-market shift from petrol to electric power in an entire vehicle fleet while improving rather than reducing vehicle performance. We're starting this process in Kigali, where 30,000 motorcycle taxis outnumber all other vehicles on the road combined.
By using a battery swap model, we make it cheaper to buy and operate an electric motorcycle than a petrol motorbike. Going electric will already double a driver’s income now, and leapfrog Africa towards a zero-carbon future.
