An exceptional collaboration with international artist Davido to boost electric vehicles adoption

‍

‍

During the Forum, Spiro unveiled a new generation of electric vehicles, developed in collaboration with international music artist and entrepreneur Davido, who serves as a brand ambassador and strategic partner. Leading the line-up was the Davido Collectible, a limited-edition model alongside Alpha+ by Davido. These new launches highlight Spiro’s capability to provide market-relevant solutions tailored to diverse customer segments.

• “When I was contacted by Spiro, it wasn’t just about how the big brand was, it was about the motive and the goal”, said Davido during the unveiling. “The idea of making the bikes electric, and making them look cool for the youth stood out. I’ve been riding for the past two months and I know how efficient they are. It’s made in Africa, it does not get better than that”.
• “These bikes are going to be made by Africans, in Africa, for the African terrains,” said Kaushik Burman, CEO of Spiro. “We hope that this is going to be the start to what I say is a renaissance industrial transformation in Africa. We are extremely proud and want to thank Davido and his team”.
• “Just as Davido was born in Africa for the world, our first bike is for global Africa and the world. It is a very beautiful, innovative product supported by a great African icon”, said Benedict Omarah, President of Afreximbank.
• “The idea was: how can we help reduce the import bill, reduce the subsidy, and at the same time help boda-boda drivers because the cost of operations is about 30% lower. The whole idea was to create something and that’s why Davido and I partnered to create Spiro, made in Africa for the world” said Gagan Gupta, CEO of ARISE.
