Revolutionizing African Transportation: Roam Secures $5 Million in Funding to Drive Electric Mobility Forward

Roam is excited to announce a successful funding round, raising $5 million to further its mission of transforming urban mobility across Kenya and the greater African continent. As advocates for accessible, low-cost, and low-emission transport solutions, Roam is committed to combating the detrimental effects of climate change and air pollution driven by the fossil fuel-based transportation systems that currently dominate the landscape. With projections indicating that ten of Africa’s largest cities will emerge by 2100, the need to innovate public transport solutions is more urgent than ever. Roam is at the forefront of this movement, designing and deploying affordable electric motorcycles and buses tailored specifically to meet the unique demands of African cities. Operating from East Africa’s largest electric motorcycle assembly plant, Roam Park, our team is playing a pivotal role in electrifying the boda boda sector, which is vital for local economies and daily commuters. This latest funding will enable us to expand our operations, enhance our technology, and accelerate the integration of electric vehicles into public transport systems, ultimately lowering transport fares and boosting income for our users. Roam is not just about transportation; it’s about reimagining the way we move within our environment, nurturing a sustainable public transport sector free from climate disasters. We are proud of the growing team behind Roam, united in the vision of an electric future for Africa, and as we embark on this next phase of our journey, we look forward to working with partners, communities, and investors to realize this ambitious goal.
