By empowering EV Boda riders, we are creating opportunities for social and economic development while offering sustainable transportation options,” said Rob Sanford, CEO of SafeBoda.
SafeBoda is collaborating with leading EV manufacturers to provide riders with a range of options and necessary resources, including maintenance guidance and charging station locations.
This support enables a seamless transition to e-mobility for the rider community, offering both environmental benefits and financial stability.
Dr. Monica Musenero Masanza, Minister for Science, Technology, and Innovation, commended SafeBoda for its innovative approach to promoting e-mobility and sustainability.

“The EV tier is a strategic initiative to protect and increase driver incomes. With fuel prices remaining high, the EV tier allows drivers to switch to electric bodas, increase their incomes, and access SafeBoda customers. Drivers can save over 30% on fuel, and clients appreciate the lower price. We are thrilled to support our riders on their path to a more sustainable future,” said Christian Mayeku Wamambe, VP of Payments & Driver Wellbeing at SafeBoda.
