Roam thinks its rugged new motorcycle can electrify African roadways

Designed specifically for use in Africa, the motorcycle places an emphasis on affordability and ease of use.

Roam, a company focusing on electric mobility, specifically within Africa, was born out of a research project at a top technical university in Sweden. Its latest project arrives in the form of an electric motorcycle, called the Roam Air, which is equipped with two removable battery packs capable of extending its driving range.
