Why converting beats buying new
Most riders in Uganda already own a good bicycle. It is not broken; it is just slow, and hills make it hard work. A Karaa Range kit, fitted for UGX 1,650,000, turns that same bicycle into an electric bike for less than two-thirds of the price of a complete Karaa e-bike. You keep the frame you trust and add the motor, the battery and the app.
What it costs to run
About UGX 700 of electricity moves an electric bike 100 km. The same distance on a petrol boda boda costs around UGX 15,000 in fuel. The battery charges from any wall socket, the same one that charges your phone, so there is no special charging station to find.
