Yadea, the world’s largest electric two-wheeler manufacturer has finalized a strategic partnership with Spiro, Africa’s leading electric mobility and battery-swapping operator.
Global electric two-wheeler giant Yadea has joined forces with Spiro, a leading African electric mobility provider to roll out sustainable, low-cost transport options across the continent.
The strategic partnership links Yadea’s global manufacturing capacity and research firepower with Spiro’s operational footprint and growing battery-swapping network. Together, the two companies aim to build a long-term electric vehicle ecosystem that supports daily commuters, delivery riders and commercial fleets across multiple African markets.
Under the new agreement, Yadea will supply electric motorcycles and related products designed specifically for African markets, while Spiro will plug these vehicles straight into its existing battery-swapping infrastructure.
Beyond vehicle supply, the two firms will co-develop customized two-wheeler platforms built to handle tough local road conditions and demanding commercial use. This setup allows motorcycle taxi drivers and delivery workers to swap out empty batteries for fully charged ones in just a few minutes, avoiding long charging wait times and helping them stay on the road.

The collaboration comes as Spiro rapidly expands its operational network across seven African countries, bolstered by recent major funding rounds aimed at building clean energy transport systems.
Executive leaders from both companies highlighted that pairing Yadea’s global scale with Spiro’s local operating experience will compress the timeline for clean transit adoption in Africa.
By offering cheaper operating costs compared to traditional petrol-powered bikes, the alliance aims to make zero-emission transport accessible to millions of riders while cutting urban air pollution across fast-growing African cities.
