  • Demand for electric motorbikes has surged in Arua and the wider West Nile region since Spiro began operating there two months ago.
  • Limited charging and battery-swapping infrastructure is delaying deliveries, with 250 motorcycles already mentioned and hundreds of prospective riders waiting.

A shortage of battery-swapping points is frustrating the growing demand for electric motorbikes in Arua and Uganda’s wider West Nile region.

Spiro introduced its services in West Nile two months ago, and interest has surged since then. Hundreds of prospective riders are waiting to receive their motorcycles.

The company has already recorded demand for 250 motorcycles, but the limited network of charging and battery-swapping points is making it difficult to meet that demand.
