Mazi Limited provides on-demand clean energy mobility services. This includes electric motorcycles (for sale) paired with battery swapping infrastructure (Battery-as a Service). Moreover, the startup owns and rents batteries to commercial motorcycle riders (“boda bodas”) and businesses on a per-use fee. By developing an ecosystem of connected e-bikes, batteries and swapping stations, the company is providing a realistic, greener and cheaper alternative to high pollutive and expensive petrol bikes.
