Dar es Salaam. Afrobeats megastar Davido is stepping beyond music and into the future of transportation. The Nigerian hitmaker has launched his own line of electric motorcycles in partnership with Spiro.
With over 27 million motorcycles powering Africa’s workforce and 80 percent of riders depending on bikes for their daily income, the project is designed to uplift the very people who helped spread his music across the continent.
"These same Bodaboda riders who have been pushing my name and music across every city are now at the centre of my vision. It’s time to give back.” Davido shared on his official Instagram page
Adding, “With my own line of electric bikes, in partnership with Spiro, we’re not just building a product—we’re building a movement."
Davido, known for global hits like Unavailable and Assurance, expressed his excitement and emphasised the project’s potential to create meaningful change.
“This is more than a deal; it’s a statement. It’s ownership, empowerment, and legacy in motion. Africa is not just catching up—we’re redefining what it means to lead. The future isn’t waiting for us—we’re driving straight into it," said Davido.
Spiro has over 22,000 electric bikes on the roads in countries like Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya, Rwanda, Togo, and Benin. Now Tanzania joins the list
Their battery-swapping technology ensures that riders can exchange batteries quickly and safely at designated stations—eliminating long charging times.
