Buffalo Bicycles builds the toughest utility bicycle in Africa. The Karaa system is compatible with every Buffalo model.

No charging stations, no queues. A Karaa battery charges from any ordinary wall socket, at home, at work or at a kiosk.

Swap the front wheel for a motor wheel, mount the battery, pair the app. Most bicycles qualify. Here is how conversion works.

Conversion kits from UGX 990,000, complete e-bikes from UGX 2,950,000, and about UGX 700 of electricity per 100 km. The full picture.

What an electric bike costs in Uganda in 2026: conversion kits from UGX 990,000, complete e-bikes from UGX 2,950,000, and what changes the price.

Karaa has appeared in multiple publications and media platforms like BBC Focus on Africa, The National, Interesting Engineering, The Independent, TechJaja and more.

One Karaa battery runs the bike, then powers a phone, lights or a kiosk after the round. 100 kg on the rack, up to 120 km on a charge. How that works in practice.

What each Karaa bike costs to run per day, how many drops it makes, and why converting the bikes you already run beats buying new. The fleet maths, in full.

The Karaa kit electrifies the bike your riders already know, instead of replacing it. Lower upfront cost, same frame, same battery and app. How the kit fits.
