As the world embraces sustainable and efficient transportation solutions, East Africa is not being left behind. The e-mobility sector in the region is rapidly growing, and electric bicycles are emerging as a transformative force in urban transportation. At the forefront of this movement is Ebee, a pan-African e-mobility company that is revolutionizing the way people move across urban cities in Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda.
The E-Mobility Wave in East Africa
E-mobility in East Africa is transforming urban transportation. With the increasing demand for environmentally friendly and cost-effective transport solutions, electric bicycles (e-bikes) are becoming a popular choice. They offer a sustainable alternative to traditional motorcycles and vehicles, reducing carbon emissions, minimizing noise pollution, and lowering operational costs.
Founded in late 2021 in Kenya, Ebee has quickly expanded its operations, now offering its electric bicycles across Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. The company has positioned itself as a leader in the e-mobility space, offering versatile and reliable e-bikes tailored for the East African market.
Ebee’s Unique Business Model
Ebee’s business model is both innovative and impactful. The company sells and rents e-bicycles to individuals and businesses, catering to a wide range of needs. Additionally, Ebee operates a fleet of last-mile delivery riders, providing essential logistics services while creating green jobs for women and youth. This initiative not only supports the growing demand for quick and sustainable delivery services but also contributes to economic empowerment in the region.
Corporate Collaborations and Strategic Partnerships
Moreover, Ebee has established strategic partnerships with major delivery companies, including Uber, Bolt, and Glovo, to offer third-party logistics (3PL) services. These collaborations enable faster and more efficient deliveries within cities, with e-bikes particularly suited for short-distance deliveries. This model is a prime example of how e-mobility solutions can be seamlessly integrated into existing urban infrastructure to enhance operational efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
ALP’s Role in Supporting E-Mobility
In addition, ALP, as a leading institutional property developer, is proud to support tenants like Ebee who are driving innovation in the e-mobility sector.

Looking ahead, the future of e-mobility in East Africa looks promising, with companies like Ebee leading the charge. As more businesses and individuals recognize the benefits of electric bicycles, the adoption rate is expected to increase, paving the way for a greener and more efficient transportation system.
In conclusion, Ebee’s success story is a testament to the potential of e-mobility solutions in transforming urban transportation across East Africa. By focusing on sustainability and leveraging strategic partnerships, Ebee is not only meeting the current demands of the market but also setting the stage for a future where e-mobility is the norm.
