November 6th, Nairobi, Kenya — Roam, Africa’s fastest growing electric vehicle company, has launched a crowdfunding campaign on Europe’s largest and the world’s first equity crowdfunding platform, Crowdcube, to accelerate the growth of electric mobility in Africa, while giving private investors, people from across the globe, the chance to become part of its journey, and Africa’s first clean transition.
The journey continues by scaling Roam’s flagship motorcycle and expanding the charging network. Raising funding is normally reserved for institutional capital, but Roam has decided to invite its community to be part of the company and put an allocation aside, on the same terms as professional investors. This allocation will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis and will close once filled.
Operating from Roam Park in Nairobi, with an annual capacity of over 50,000 motorcycles, Roam is positioned to scale production rapidly across the continent, powered by Kenya’s 80% renewable energy grid.
Roam’s momentum has been fueled by the rise of African fintech, Africa’s largest Pay-As-You-Go financier, M-KOPA, which has made the Roam electric motorcycle accessible through daily micro-payments. With Bolt and Uber, Roam motorcycles are being used for ride-hailing, offering drivers a sustainable alternative for urban transport.
Roam is building a charging infrastructure powered by solar energy. The network already spans across Kenya, with the capacity to serve thousands of riders daily, and is ready to scale across borders, and is supported by TotalEnergies and European grants.
Filip Lövström, CEO and Co-Founder – “We’ve proven that electric mobility is possible, affordable, and scalable in Africa. This crowdfunding campaign is about inclusion. We want anyone within our community, and supporters of our mission, to now be able to join us on our continued journey as a shareholder.”
The African motorcycle market is valued at over $15 billion annually, making it one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing mobility sectors. By backing Roam’s campaign, private and retail investors can be part of a defining clean technology shift, reducing emissions, cutting fuel dependency, and empowering millions of entrepreneurs across Africa.
