Electric motorcycles with swap-and-go batteries just rolled into Ghana

Spiro, Africa's largest electric-mobility company, has entered Ghana with its Ekon 450 M1 V3 electric motorcycle and the battery-swapping network that makes it practical: instead of waiting hours to charge, a rider swaps a depleted battery for a full one in minutes. Across seven countries Spiro already runs more than 156,000 electric motorcycles and over 2,500 swapping stations, and it recently secured $270 million in equity funding to expand toward 20 African markets. For the motorcycle-taxi and delivery riders who move Ghana's cities, the arithmetic is the story — cheaper energy per trip, no petrol queue, and cleaner air on the streets they work all day.
