With this funding, Spiro's presence in the boda boda market looks set to accelerate its expansion even further.

$270 million is a genuinely large sum as far as African electric two-wheeler investment goes.

It says Chinese capital is leading this, curious how much control over management and decision-making that actually translates to.

This much money going into African electric two-wheeler infrastructure feels like it's entered a genuinely serious investment phase.
