Revenue-share electric cargo bikes for last-mile riders — scaling clean, affordable logistics across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and the DRC.
Every day, thousands of riders brave Nairobi's streets on ageing petrol motorcycles — polluting the city, earning next to nothing, and locked in a cycle of poverty and emissions.
Across Nairobi's informal and gig economy — powered by inefficient, polluting motorcycles.
Emitted by Nairobi's boda-boda fleet alone — a growing climate crisis hiding in plain sight.
After fuel, maintenance and bike rental, riders take home less than a dollar — far below the poverty line.
TumaTU provides electric cargo bikes to riders on a revenue-share model — no upfront cost, no fuel, no debt trap. Just deliver and earn.
Per Drop
Riders keep 80% of every delivery fee — no hidden charges, no fuel costs.
Solar Charging
Solar-powered charging hubs — zero cost to the rider, zero grid dependency.
Range Per Charge
Full-day range on a single charge — enough for 30+ deliveries across the city.
Rider Keeps
Revenue-share, not rental. Riders own their earnings from day one.
Riders earn $23–$31 net daily — a transformative leap from under $1 on petrol bikes.
Per cohort of riders — verified, measurable carbon savings feeding directly into national climate targets.
Starting with 15 riders in 2026 — scaling to 1,000+ across four East African markets.
Our pilot fleet is already running successfully in Nairobi — proving the model, gathering real-world data, and transforming lives one delivery at a time.
