Meshack's Journey to Savings and Sustainability in the Boda Boda Sector:
23.12.2024

"My name is Meshack, and I run a boda boda business here in Kenya. Like many others in the industry, I have always faced the challenge of rising fuel costs, which significantly impacted my earnings and made it difficult to plan. I was constantly struggling to balance operating costs and profits. Then I came across Mogo Kenya and their electric bike financing program. After learning about the opportunity, I decided to take the leap and switch to an electric boda boda. I never expected the impact it would have on my business. Thanks to Mogo Kenya, I was able to acquire an electric bike without the heavy upfront costs. Now, I’m saving up to 50% on my operating costs. The biggest difference has been in fuel savings — no more constant trips to the petrol station. Additionally, maintenance costs are much lower compared to traditional fuel-powered bikes. The transition has been smoother than I expected. The electric bike is easy to maintain, eco-friendly, and, most importantly, more affordable to operate. I can now make more trips each day and keep more of my earnings. This has not only improved my profits but also made me feel good about contributing to a cleaner environment. Mogo Kenya’s flexible financing options made it possible for me to make this switch without putting a strain on my finances. As a result, I can provide quality education for my children and save too while paying my loan. I would highly recommend Mogo Kenya to anyone looking to make the transition to an electric boda boda. It’s a game-changer for my business, and I’m excited about the future!" — Meshack, Boda Boda Operator.
