Back the future of African mobility
ZYRA is building the infrastructure layer for zero-emission transport across East Africa. We're raising our Series A to scale from Kigali to the continent.
Request investor deckA once-in-a-generation infrastructure opportunity
East Africa has 10 million+ boda boda motorcycles — the dominant mode of urban transport — running entirely on imported petrol. ZYRA replaces that dependency with a solar-powered, locally-operated electric fleet. We own the hardware, the energy infrastructure, and the rider relationship. This is not a mobility app. It is an energy and infrastructure business with a captive, high-frequency customer base.
Massive addressable market
10M+ petrol motorcycles across East Africa. Rwanda alone has 250,000 registered boda bodas — all potential ZYRA customers.
Recurring revenue model
Riders pay per swap, every day. High frequency, low churn, and a lease-to-own model that builds long-term loyalty.
Defensible infrastructure moat
Solar swap stations are physical assets. Once deployed, they create network effects — more stations means more riders, means more stations.
Favourable policy environment
Rwanda's government has committed to 100% electric motorcycle fleet by 2035. ZYRA is the execution partner for that national goal.
Early proof. Strong momentum.
