YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAs fuel prices surge across Africa, Nairobi is turning away from petrol and toward locally powered electric motorbikes. Rising costs and fuel shortages have exposed the risks of relying on imported energy — and left riders and businesses struggling when pumps run dry.
