In the rural Zimbabwe district of Wedza, a new electric-powered motorcycle is helping bring income to poor women and easing the burden of looking after families.
The three-wheeler, known as Hamba , powered by a solar-charged lithium ion battery, is being piloted by start-up Mobility for Africa, which leases the motorcycle to women in groups of up to five.
She could now sell her vegetables at a business centre 15 km away for more money than she would get locally. It costs between $0.50 and $1 to change the motorcycle batteries, which are charged at a solar-powered station.
