Spiro, Africa’s largest electric vehicle (EV) player, has announced the official launch of its operations in Ogun State.
Details
With more than 18,000 electric motorbikes already deployed across sub Saharan Africa, Spiro’s strategic expansion into Nigeria will see its presence in up to eight of Nigeria’s major provinces, including Abeokuta, Ibadan, Lagos, and Abuja.
Spiro has already announced strategic partnerships with Max, Dot, and Onocon, who share our vision for a cleaner and healthier world, where riders have access to affordable and reliable transportation and cutting-edge technology.
About Spiro

State of Charge (SoC) technology significantly enhances the Spiro riding experience, offering a seamless, efficient, and environmentally friendly mode of transport.
What They’re Saying
Kaushik Burman, CEO of Spiro: “Our expansion marks a new chapter for Spiro and the broader EV ecosystem in Nigeria. We’ll deploy a significant number of bikes in our first year in Nigeria, enabling a lifestyle shift towards cleaner, more sustainable transportation options. Our goal is to electrify mobility across Africa, and Nigeria, as Africa’s economic powerhouse, represents an important step on that journey.”
Rahul Gaur, Spiro’s Director of West Africa Cluster: “Spiro’s electric bikes promise a future of reduced environmental impact, economic savings, and improved community health. We’re proud to collaborate on this sustainable venture, setting a green standard for transportation in Nigeria.”
