Tailored to your business needs
Fleet management software (coming soon)
Optional off-grid solar charger
Ongoing support
Committed to green power
We believe sustainability should be a default, not a privileged choice. As such we have developed a completely off-grid modular solar charging system, allowing fleet owners in rural areas to power their vehicles in a renewable, cost-effective way.
Frequently asked questions
The “Waya Boda” is an electric motorcycle designed to carry one rider and one pillion passenger, with a wheelbase of 1285 mm. It is built for the diverse African terrain, handling tarmac and all-weather rural roads with ease.
Yes, the main objective of our commercial products is to reduce the total cost of ownership for the end-user. Higher up-front costs are massively off-set by significantly lower run costs due to reduced service and maintenance activities and a low power bill instead of a fuel bill. Our clients to date have generated upwards of 25% reduced costs of ownership.
The “Waya Boda” is comfortably able to carry loads of 220kg in addition to the rider, with or without a pillion. Overloading beyond the recommended capacity can lead to performance issues, so we strongly recommend adhering to load specifications
Waya Electric is committed to sustainability, and the “Waya Boda” is nearly fully compliant with circular economy principles. Approximately 95% of the materials used can be recycled, while the remaining 5% is repurposable, making the “Waya Boda” a zero-landfill product with the right.
Every product comes with a 2kW, 25A charger that plugs into any standard wall socket. The charger connects to the bike via an Andersen connector (make sure it’s connected properly!), and you simply switch on the power at the mains to start charging. Max. charge time is ~2 hours, and the green light will show on the charger when your bike is fully charged. In early 2025 we will also be exploring a swap-station model in Nairobi.
The 1285 mm wheelbase provides balance and stability, optimizing safety and comfort for the rider and passenger.
The “Waya Boda” comes with IoT-enabled technology and a mobile app for real-time battery diagnostics, allowing riders to easily monitor battery health and performance.
We offer the “Waya Boda” in 3 kW and 4 kW motor versions, tailored for the robustness and torque needed on African roads and infrastructure, providing sufficient power for both urban and rural use.
Yes, the “Waya Boda” is equipped with battery-swapping capabilities, allowing riders to quickly replace the battery to minimize downtime. In 2025 will be exploring set-up of a battery swap network across Nairobi.
Yes, the “Waya Boda” includes a fleet management system that allows operators to monitor multiple vehicles’ performance, location, and battery status, ideal for businesses and logistics providers.
Yes, the “Waya Boda” is equipped with regenerative braking, which helps recharge the battery during deceleration, contributing to an extended range and more efficient energy use.
Maintenance includes periodic checks on the battery, brakes, tires, and electrical components. Thanks to its electric drivetrain, it doesn’t require traditional fuel system or oil-based maintenance, reducing user headache and cost over the vehicle’s lifetime.
Yes, we have trained service personnel and certified technicians available to assist with maintenance, battery swaps, and other support needs, we also have a training program to help build a capacity for EV technicians and conduct training workshops on a regular basis.
Absolutely! Beyond transportation, the “Waya Boda” serves as a tool for economic empowerment and community service. It can be used as a cost-effective motorbike taxi, a vehicle for transporting farm produce, or for making deliveries. With assistance from our design department, the “Waya Boda” can also be customized to function as a small mobile shop, coffee stand, or even a motorbike ambulance. We work closely with clients to tailor the motorbike to meet specific business or specialized requirements.
