OUR CUSTOMERS
Our customers work hard.
They tend to be in their late 20’s - 30’s, work 6 days a week, for an average of 14 hours and covering up to 190km per day. Electric motorcycle drivers earn 45% more than with petrol bikes due to fuel and maintenance savings – They save 40% a year on fuel. The income they generate typically supports 4.6 people people on average in Rwanda and 3.8 people in Kenya.
Ampersand Energy's solution is designed with taxi drivers in mind. Our guiding philosophy is to offer drivers a motorcycle and energy that costs less to acquire and operate, outperforms their current setup in every way, and happens to be electric. Battery swaps are faster than refueling, cost less than a tank of petrol, and take the driver further. We take care of the batteries’ maintenance and financing is also available.
Ampersand Energy's e-motos cost the same as petrol motorcycles to buy and finance, and half as much to power, meaning that by switching to electric customers can increase their take home pay by 45%
