Electric vehicles are gaining global momentum as a crucial tool for reducing oil dependence and combating climate change, with governments and car manufacturers alike pushing for their adoption.
The creation of this motorcycle required "several months of hard work," said Adbou-Madjid, 24-year-old motorcycle's inventor.
He added that the vehicle is equipped with several color changing LEDs, making it more visible at night, and a battery that gives it a range of 50 km and a speed range of 25 km to 100 km.
The motorcycle's handlebars were inspired by "a touch of the Nigerien flag," Adbou-Madjid noted.
