Developing and promoting e-mobility is a great opportunity to tackle the mobility problems in Africa and improve the global climate.
To this end, we have developed the “African e-bike” in close cooperation with various partners.

Our e-bike is similar to the e-bikes we know here, but it also meets special requirements tailored to the African continent:

• low price
• particularly robust components
• high payload capacity of 100 kg
• speed up to 30 km/h
• high range
• battery charging with solar energy
• spare parts available locally
• a design preferred in Africa based on motorcycles

This enables the African e-bike to overcome the bad image of the bicycle as a “poor man’s car” and promote the cycling culture on the growing continent.

The AfricroozE bike can be used in a variety of ways and for different purposes.

Our AfricroozE e-bike is prominently supported by the German actor Bjarne Mädel, also known as “crime scene cleaner” or from his hit film “25 km/h”. Bjarne, who himself lived in Nigeria for a while when he was young, shows his connection to Africa both on stage in the play “Benefit – Everyone Saves an African” and in private. In April 2019 he visited our e-bike project in Uganda. His impressions are summarized in a short clip that he directed himself.
