03 Aug 2022 | Abstracted from New Atlas

"The Roam Air is cheap, lightweight, practically focused, and capable of riding up to 180 km (111 miles) on a pair of removable batteries. It's been designed, developed and built in Kenya, to suit the needs of African riders in rural and urban areas.

"Air is immediately cheaper per day than an equivalent petrol-powered 150cc scoot...prices impressively low...at US$1,500 single-battery bike...and $2,050 for a dual-battery."
