Systems, Inc. (USOTC:
ALYI) today highlighted a new United
Nations (UN) E-Boda-Boda program in conjunction with ALYI’s
plans to deliver its first rideshare electric motorcycles to Kenya
to go into service by July of this year to include additional
electric motorcycles for the self-drive rental
market.
“The [UN] pilot
aims to help policy makers assess the barriers in uptake of the
much-needed technological shift towards electric bikes, and to
demonstrate that the shift is feasible and within reach. In Kenya,
the number of newly registered motorcycles, commonly used as taxis
(boda-boda), was estimated in 2018 at 1.5 million and will likely
grow over five million by 2030. Though developing countries
have the fastest growing fleets of bikes, most lack vehicle
emissions standards or programmes and incentives to promote zero
emission vehicles.”
ALYI has an
order to deliver 2000 electric motorcycles in Kenya to be
deployed into the motorcycle taxi (boda) market. The first
delivery schedule for July is intended to support a first phase,
pilot rollout of the rideshare service. The motorcycle ride
hail market in Africa is estimated at
$4
billion.
ALYI
management is optimistic the UN pilot will provide valuable
information that can enhance ALYI’s own electric motorcycle
rollout.
In addition to
ALYI’s pilot rideshare service rolling out this summer, ALYI plans
to also introduce a self-drive rental program. Similar to the
way Bird (the shared electric scooter company scheduled to go
public through a merger with the SPAC, Switchback II (NYSE: SWBK)
valued at an implied $2.3 Billion) rents electric scooters
available in urban areas and unlocked via a mobile phone app, ALYI
plans to rent Electric Motorcycles in Kenya that can be unlocked
via a mobile phone app.
ALYI's
Electric Motorcycle Program is only a small part of the company's
comprehensive strategy to build a far-reaching electric vehicle
ecosystem.
The success of
any electric vehicle will depend on the simultaneous availability
of an entire network of solutions necessary to support the electric
vehicle.
For example,
the electric vehicle support network ranges from the availability
of power, to charging stations where power can be accessed, to
long-range batteries to make electric vehicles efficient modes of
transportation, to connectivity so software updates for motor
synchronization and battery optimization applications can be
continuously updated along with other electric vehicle user support
applications.
ALYI's primary
business focus is on its overall electric vehicle ecosystem
strategy out of which electric vehicles will be just one
component.
ALYI is
building its electric vehicle ecosystem in a region with one of the
lowest per capita transportation ratios in the world, Sub Saharan
Africa.
To both
attract industry leading talent to collaborate in ALYI's electric
vehicle ecosystem, and to provide an opportunity to prove
innovations coming out of the electric vehicle ecosystem, ALYI is
launching an annual electric vehicle race in partnership with a
brand name racing organization. The annual race event will be
hosted simultaneously with an electric mobility symposium and
expo.
ALYI is
setting itself apart from the rest of the electric vehicle industry
not only through its electric vehicle ecosystem strategy, but also
through its commitment to democratize the electric vehicle
ecosystem.
ALYI's
financing partner and electric vehicle ecosystem collaborator,
RevoltTOKEN, has already provided key funding to advance ALYI's
business plan to its current stage. To learn more about

ecosystem through the purchase of Revolt Tokens,
