Electric motorbike powered by the sun to travel from Kenya to South Africa

An electric motorbike, designed and built in Africa and powered only by the sun, is set to tackle the road from Nairobi, in Kenya, to Stellenbosch, South Africa, in October. Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at Stellenbosch University (SU) have joined forces with Roam, an electric mobility company in Nairobi, to test its electric Roam Air, used largely in urban settings.
