SPIRO today confirmed its upcoming entry into the Ghanaian market, marking the next step in the company’s continued expansion across Africa. The move builds on the firm’s recent fundraising and accelerated growth across the continent, with plans to expand into 20 new markets through 2027 as it expands its electric mobility and energy infrastructure.
The Ghana launch will bring SPIRO’s integrated electric‑mobility ecosystem to the country, combining electric motorcycle assembly, battery‑swapping infrastructure and after‑sales services. The company aims to help commercial riders and businesses reduce transport costs while supporting the development of Ghana’s electric mobility sector and green energy agenda.
Electric motorcycles can improve transport efficiency and cut operating costs for commercial riders and businesses. SPIRO riders can save up to 40% on operating costs, while the broader ecosystem has the potential to support more than 200,000 direct and indirect jobs within three years across mobility, energy, logistics, maintenance and entrepreneurship.
“Electric mobility is not simply about transportation. It is about empowering people, strengthening businesses, creating jobs and building a more resilient economy,” said Mr Maxwell Dodd, Managing Director of SPIRO. “We believe Ghana has a unique opportunity to lead Africa’s next mobility revolution while delivering real value to riders, businesses and communities.”
Kaushik Burman, CEO Mobility, added: “Ghana represents an important new market for SPIRO and another step in our ambition to build a truly pan‑African electric mobility platform. As we continue to enter new markets and scale our infrastructure, our focus remains on making electric mobility more accessible, more affordable and more economically relevant for riders and businesses across the continent.”
In Ghana, SPIRO plans to assemble locally, deploy a network of energy hubs, train technicians, and provide spare parts and dedicated customer service to support riders and fleet operators and reduce downtime. Ghana offers a supportive environment for electric mobility, with continued investment in energy infrastructure and growing interest in cleaner transport solutions.
The transition also presents an opportunity to reduce reliance on fuel, lower transport costs and support new economic activity across mobility, green energy and technology. As it prepares to enter the Ghanaian market, SPIRO will continue working with local stakeholders and investing in the infrastructure, partnerships and services required to support its operations.
SPIRO is Africa’s largest electric mobility company present in seven countries, operating the continent’s most extensive and fastest‑growing network of battery‑swapping for electric two‑wheel vehicles. With more than 146,000 electric motorcycles, over 2,500 battery‑swapping stations, 11 mega swap stations in Kenya and Rwanda, and more than 54 million battery swaps to date, Spiro has achieved over 2.5 billion kilometres of low‑carbon emissions travel, transforming mobility and economies through substituting expensive imported fossil fuel‑based transportation with affordable, accessible and sustainable solutions.
Through its expanding regional production network and operational assembly facilities in Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria and Rwanda, Spiro is committed to delivering electric vehicles made in Africa by Africans for Africa and the world.
