Swedish-Kenyan electric mobility company Roam Motors has launched its first electric motorcycle, the Roam Air, in Africa. The big beak, round headlight and small flyscreen make the Roam Air look like the Bajaj Boxer 150X, albeit with an electric heart.
The electric bike’s frame houses two batteries, each with a capacity of 3.24kWh, which help give the bike a claimed range of 180 km. There are also four riding modes to choose from: Eco, Standard, Power and Sport.
The Roam Air can reach a top speed of 90kmph, it can do it in five seconds, and it has a 4-hour charge time (with a 3-pin 600W charger on a 240V outlet).
Its batteries can be charged at one’s home and they can also be swapped at a, you guessed it, battery swapping station, ridding the rider of the pain of having to wait for four hours.
For added practicality, the Air has a USB port along with a storage compartment where, traditionally, the fuel tank would be. Weighing 135kg, it’s a fairly light motorcycle as well. The frame of the Roam Air is claimed to have been engineered to handle both urban and rural terrains of Africa and the big beak up front and minimalist bodywork give the bike a rugged look.
Underpinnings on the Roam Air include a telescopic fork along with dual shock absorbers. On the features front, the electric motorcycle comes equipped with LED lighting along with an LCD instrument cluster that shows the riding mode you’re in, range left, battery percentage and speed, among other things.
The USD 1,500 (approximately Rs 1.18 lakh) price tag is the icing on the cake. Somewhat crude design notwithstanding, the impressive range, healthy top speed and other practical bits come together to make the Roam Air a very sweet deal indeed.
That said, the EV will probably not be making its way to India. So, if you’re looking to get yourself an electric motorcycle, you can check out the Revolt RV400.

- Rough & tough workhorseI selected this bike for the practicality, it's not flashy or performance oriented absolutely a boring simple commuter. It can handle heavy loads, rough roads. It's durable, fuel efficient & low maintenance. It's been good so far, mature, seniors will like it that's for sure, once you fill the tank, u don't have to worry about refueling. It can handle the space technology used roads pretty good. If you don't know how to ride a bike than this can be a very good option since it's very easy to handle. i would highly recommend this bike to people who are willing to do deliveries and bike taxi cause the mileage is really good and so is the space of the seat the pillion can sit without any discomfort but this is a boring bike so do not expect any thrill.Read More11 11
- Overall Good & StrongI personally like the design for this bike. Looks different from other commuters. Built quality is very good and has very good mileage. Many don't like the lack of mordern features but I personally never cared and only care about the ride. If I were to point the only negative is halogen bulb and tube tires which still works considering the cost of this bike and can be switched later on. overall great purchase.Read More5 11
