Chinese Tech Enhancing Mobility for Kenya's Wheelchair Users

In this impactful episode of The Africa EV Show, we speak with Jorgs Mbugua (CEO of eBikes Africa) and Dan Kamau (CEO of Ace Mobility), two Kenyan innovators transforming mobility for people with disabilities across the Global South. They share how locally-built electric wheelchair attachments and adapted vehicles break barriers, reimagining Chinese EV platforms through partnerships with India, Colombia, and beyond. Dan also shares the personal story behind Ace Mobility, inspired by his paraplegic father, who lost his job due to transport inaccessibility. The episode highlights Kenya's pressing mobility gap: while only 4% of Kenyans own cars, infrastructure routinely excludes pedestrians and wheelchair users. Through inclusive design and advocacy, eBikes Africa and Ace Mobility prove that mobility is a right, not a privilege. This is more than a conversation, it's a movement. Follow eBikes Africa and Ace Mobility to support inclusive mobility and help reshape Africa's transport future.
