In Uganda’s urban areas, motorcycles, locally referred to as boda bodas, serve as a primary mode of transportation due to their affordability and convenience. With the introduction of electric bodas, SafeBoda seeks to maintain the familiar boda boda experience while significantly reducing carbon emissions.
