Engineering zero-emission mobility for Africa
Purpose-built electric motorcycles. Solar-powered battery swap stations. A closed-loop clean energy ecosystem designed for Rwanda's roads and climate.
The ZYRA e-Motorcycle
Our motorcycles are engineered for the demands of boda boda work — long daily ranges, rough urban roads, and high-frequency use. Swappable battery packs mean zero downtime at the pump and zero emissions on every ride.

ZYRA's technology stack is a closed-loop system: solar energy charges batteries at the station, riders swap and ride, depleted packs return to charge again — all tracked in real time. No fossil fuels enter the loop at any point.
01
Solar Harvest
Rooftop panels capture Rwanda's abundant sunlight and charge battery packs throughout the day.
02
Smart Charging
Our battery management system prioritises charging order, monitors cell health, and flags packs for maintenance.
03
Instant Swap
Riders arrive, exchange depleted for charged in under 3 minutes, and return to earning.
04
Data & Optimisation
IoT telemetry from every bike and station feeds our dashboard — optimising routes, predicting maintenance, and tracking impact.
