Explanation

This is a replica of a scheme that is in operation in Kenya and Rwanda (I made a thread about those schemes last year). It is designed to overcome these problems of electric vehicles in Africa:

1) Electric vehicles are expensive.

2) Public power supply is unreliable in many African countries.

3) It takes a long time to charge an electric vehicle.

These problems are overcome in the following ways:

• The user registers for the scheme.

• He buys an electric motorcycle or tricycle. The motorcycle or tricycle does not have a battery. The battery is the component that makes the e-vehicle expensive. Without it, the e-vehicle is around the same price or cheaper than a petrol vehicle.

• He goes to a battery swap station and uses his card to rent a battery.

• The batteries are in a charging cabinet and a locker opens when he pays with his card. He takes a fully charged battery, puts it into the battery slot in his e-bike and continues with his journey.

• He returns to the battery swap station when the battery is weak, pays with his card, a locker opens for him to return the weak battery and another locker opens after he returns the battery. He takes a fully charged battery from the second locker and continues with his journey. He doesn't have to wait for the battery to charge and this eliminates the second problem.

• The battery swapping stations are powered by both solar power and public power and the solar component solves the problem of unreliable public power.

This scheme is also in operation in Benin Republic and the Ogun State Government hired the company that implemented it in Benin Republic to implement it in Ogun State.

The government is also converting petrol powered public buses to CNG powered buses.

The bike has other advantages which the okada riders mentioned in the video. It has no engine, so there's no need to service it. It has no chain, the okada rider complained that motorcycle chains usually make noise when they come in contact with water, but that's not the case here, etc.

Kenya has started assembling and exporting the e-bikes and Ogun State plans to do the same.

there’s someone here on nairaland that does conversion of normal bike to e-bike, conversion is what we need mostly.

When they dont have stable power to charge it, no good roads to ride on.
Nothing wrong with copying what other countries do, but do proper research before adopting it.

Kenya outclasses Nigeria on the E bike technology.

They keep ensuring the things that are of Nigeria don't work for Nigerians.

The real issue while the economy is bad is simply because local content are not developed. Most industries and foreign investment are not developing local content.

When I see some of these biscuits and soft drinks produced in this country as they shrink in size as dollar to naira increases, l go just dey laugh. Those are prime indicators that these industries are not here to develop anything local content. They are enriching their country than develop Nigeria.

Thank you.

Nice concept. But it makes it seem like we are all going back to the use of Okada, which was banned in almost all the states due to frequent accidents and robberies.

There were sooo many accidents during the days of Okada on major roads that killed Okada riders and it's passengers whenever car passengers stopped and opened there doors.

Some accidents were even due to direct contacts.


Anything bikes or Okada on major streets can be very dangerous.

Nice one .... Naptu2 .... interesting. The system of battery rentals makes a big difference that most wouldn't know. It's nice to say e bikes are environmentally stable because we only think of the lack of emissions. But the lithium batteries are hell to safely dispose of and are a greater risk to the environment... and a dangerous fire starter. If charging were done in homes ... then many buildings would've been up in flames when the batteries explode. It is the cause of more that 50% of fires in NYC ... a city with a well equipped and quick response fire department. it is very good the batteries will be in one location where all the safety measures can be taken. But I hope it is not in a residential area ... it is all by itself for if a fire breaks out there ..there is nothing the fire department can do to put it out. Lastly ...as a driver ...I do not like bikes .... they are super quiet and one would not know it is coming as with the other bikes. It is likely for a driver to run it off the road because he didn't know it came up beside the vehicle but

Shey dem been don ban okada riders for major cities in the south.

What impact will this bring?
Re: The Ogun E-Bike Initiative (Video) by JapaToDNext: 8:50am On Sep 09
In Nigeria is better to do this yourself, than rely on government

Some places in the west, the communities contribute to do their roads and also spend to connect light and use prepaid.

So anybody that plans to get the e-bike should better find a way to power their bikes by themselves (either through solar or electricity)

Don't rely on government, better find your way yourself, before them play u handicapp

That @Lagos Prince (without throne talkless of crown) will not see this type of good development he can beg his imo and Anambra states to emulate, instead he will only focus his attention on south west as if his own forgotten state is no longer existing. This is kind of what ekpa should have been pushing his Biafran governors to do or use his monthly Biafra donation to put up useful infrastructure that can benefit Biafrans instead of putting them on weekly killing alter and under lock and kill

What stops the intrepid bike man from going away with the Bike battery permanently and figuring out how to recharge it in the comfort of his bedroom?

Nigerians need to start embracing our local content. It is one of the effective way of killing subsidy without protesting anything. The suffering we will face will reverse the years of subsidising what we really don't need and want that had been brought to this country to corrupt what we really need and want.

For example, how is it going to look like had we shun importation of fuel products or maximum protest is made against importation of petroleum products since the late 1990 and early 2000? I can guarantee over time and during those years NNPC will have put plans in place to build another refinery in Lagos, while Dangote and these marketers build theirs instead of few FG workers, NNPC and these oil marketers and players living fat on subsidy all these years. Nigeria will be better for it as that would secure our energy sector even in power supply for years that will drive development in every other sector. We would have been producing our own fertiliser for agriculture for years boosting food production instead of importing it. Many other refined products would have been sold elsewhere or utilised to bring in more money.

It is a shame Nigerians hardly protest against importation of rice that discourage production of local ones all over Nigeria. Had we done that over the years we won't be complaining about our rice having stones and not standard. The government will be forced to bring in technology and encourage research and expertise into standardising rice production in Nigeria.
