Afrobeats superstar Davido is taking a step into the world of green transportation with a new venture set to launch in 2025. The musician has announced a strategic partnership with Spiro, a leading electric vehicle company based in Africa, to introduce his own line of electric bikes across the continent. The collaboration is aimed at promoting sustainable and eco-friendly transportation solutions, while also making a mark in the growing electric vehicle market.
Spiro, which has already made significant strides in the electric vehicle industry, currently boasts over 22,000 electric bikes deployed in various African nations. The company has also set up numerous battery-swapping stations in countries like Benin, Togo, Nigeria, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Ghana, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, and Tanzania. These stations allow riders to quickly and safely exchange their bike batteries in just seconds, making electric biking more accessible and convenient.
Davido, known for his strong influence in the African entertainment scene, expressed his excitement about the partnership, saying, “I’ve always believed in using my platform to make life better for my fans. Partnering with Spiro is the perfect way to do that—switching to electric saves money, helps the planet, and let’s be real, it looks mad fresh too! We’re bringing a new energy to Africa, and I’m excited to ride into 2025 with Spiro.”
Kaushik Burman, CEO of Spiro, praised Davido’s role in this new initiative, highlighting his widespread appeal and commitment to innovation. “Davido represents the best of African excellence—he’s bold, innovative, and beloved across the world. He’s the perfect ambassador for Spiro as we deliver on our mission of sustainable transportation for all,” Burman said.
Spiro’s unique battery-swapping technology is a key component of their business model. With over 100 stations across the continent, the company is making it easier for riders to use electric bikes without the hassle of long charging times.
