📖 The Story of the Tricycle Business in Africa

Our story stemmed from the transformative journey of the tricycle business in Africa. We are driven by innovation meeting necessity.

The rise of the tricycle business in Africa began in the early 2000s when many cities faced growing congestion, poor infrastructure, and limited access to affordable transport. Three-wheeled vehicles—known locally as Keke Napep in Nigeria, Pragya in Ghana, and Bajaj in East Africa—quickly became the solution to urban mobility challenges.

💡 Key Achievements:

  • ✓ Compact size ideal for navigating narrow roads
  • ✓ Fuel efficient with low maintenance costs
  • ✓ Employment for thousands of youths across Africa
  • ✓ Over 50% of transport in many urban areas
  • ✓ Significant economic boost to local communities

By the mid-2010s, the business had exploded across major cities like Lagos, Accra, Nairobi, and Kampala. Today, we're driving the next evolution with electric tricycles and eco-friendly alternatives—a symbol of African ingenuity driving mobility, employment, and community development.
