The company wants to introduce electric motorcycles to capitalize on lower range vehicle. In an interview on Goldman Research, CEO and owner Randell Torno, described his 10 years of experience in the African markets, and the opportunity in providing affordable transportation systems in an emerging market. What he found in those years of working in Africa, is the great inefficiency of vehicle transportation.
We think we can produce an electric motor bike that can be a delivery bike, awe can produce a small taxi, a three or four wheel taxi that can get some of these inefficient gas burners off the road, and allow people to be much more effective and more efficient and get a lower cost transportation solution.

Alternet Systems wants to start production of their electric motorcycle in Kenya, by middle to end of next year, with the target of delivery companies. Attempting to replace urban commuters, and create a product that is cost effective, and can be attractive compared to an ICE motorcycle.
The teaser for this motorcycle only includes an image, and since no details were provided we can only judge what we see. The motor will likely be a hub motor, looking at this configuration it’s pretty clear no belt or chain are in use. Other than that we can talk about style, which it really does have, and it’s based on an awesome model, the BMW R71. Iconic without a doubt.
