MBAK & CZM Launch Electric Taxi‑Bike Rollout in Africa

By EVWorld SI

Overview

MBAK Energy Solutions - formerly Alternet Systems Inc. - has begun assembling its electric taxi‑bikes via Kenyan partner Carbon Zero Mobility (CZM), marking a major push into Africa’s two‑wheel vehicle market. The first shipment has arrived in Nairobi for assembly and testing.

Market Demand & Scale

With over 700 units pre‑ordered for West Africa and strong interest from additional countries, MBAK has raised its projected deliveries from 2,000 to 10,000 units by end of 2026.

CZM & Local Assembly

Carbon Zero Mobility (CZM), founded in Nairobi in 2021, oversees local assembly of the Dominion‑branded e‑taxi bikes. The bikes feature 72 V, 40 Ah lithium‑ion batteries and hub motors (1.5 kW or 3 kW), offering up to 80 km range per charge.

About MBAK Energy Solutions

Following its rebranding from Alternet Systems Inc. under the backing of MIA Global, MBAK now emphasizes sustainable energy solutions, spanning lithium, sodium, and solid‑state batteries, along with battery manufacturing and supply‑chain equipment.

Strategic Outlook

This Nairobi deployment kick‑starts MBAK’s pan‑African expansion strategy. Raising forecasted volume to 10,000 bikes by 2026 illustrates growing confidence in demand across regions. The effort aligns with broader e‑mobility and climate goals across African urban centers.

Implications for African E‑Mobility

• Local assembly via CZM helps build regional manufacturing capacity.
• Electric taxi‑bikes can substantially reduce drivers’ fuel costs.
• Large‑scale adoption of Dominion bikes could accelerate Kenya’s green transport efforts.

What’s Next

MBAK and CZM plan to scale quickly, with additional assembly sites and expanded distribution across East and West Africa anticipated through 2026.
