At Roam, we’ve developed two distinct variations of fully electric buses, specifically designed to meet the unique demands of transportation here in the African continent: the mass transit bus known as the Roam Rapid and the shuttle bus known as the Roam Move. The electric shuttle bus is aimed at the Matatu sector while our electric mass transit bus ensures reliability and accessibility to large-scale bus transit systems across the African continent.
These two electric mobility products guarantee immediate cost reduction, delivering uncompromising performance without any emissions or noise pollution. The versatility of our electric buses allow them to be charged through solar systems or directly from the grid, this coupled with minimal servicing requirements, ensures our electric buses maximize uptime and efficiency. Engineered with unwavering quality and equipped with modern comforts, these buses ensure a seamless and pleasurable riding experience like never before.
Our electric mass transit bus is priced to compete with diesel buses as it is designed to last longer, and is cheaper to run. A localised manufacturing approach and a lease-to-own financing system contribute to maintaining costs at a reasonable level.
This, combined with the significant operational savings resulting from reduced maintenance requirements of electric buses and, most importantly, lower electricity expenses (in contrast to rising fuel costs), will guarantee a swift return on investment. As the bus is fully electric we eliminate all tailpipe emissions while also reducing noise pollution in cities
With fewer moving parts and simplified mechanics, our electric bus significantly reduces the need for extensive maintenance and repairs. By choosing our electric bus, you'll experience a significant reduction in maintenance downtime, allowing your fleet to spend more time on the road, serving passengers, and generating revenue. Our bus requires less frequent servicing, resulting in substantial savings in both time and resources for your operation.
Roam has tailored a fully electric mass transit bus to ensure reliability and accessibility to large-scale transit systems across the African continent. We take pride in our electric bus' exceptional reliability.
Thoroughly tested and perfected, our bus is designed to withstand the demands of daily operation and deliver consistent performance. Rest assured that our electric bus will reliably transport passengers, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted service.
In short, it is the best choice for any large-scale implementation of low-floor, high-capacity transit solutions..

Our model enables the initial investment for the electric bus to be equivalent to the diesel bus investment. The vehicle owner can then use the operational savings to pay off the remaining of the cost in less than four years without extracting money from current profits. This model is flexible and can be tailored to fit any request from clients.
The 10 years ownership graph includes the operational costs as well as the approximated investment cost. This highlights the financial benefits with an electric bus.
While the initial investment for the electric bus is slightly higher compared to the diesel bus investment, the operational savings will allow you to pay off the remaining of costs in less than four years without extracting money from current profits. Allowing you to enjoy a predictable cost structure that keeps your finances in check.

Through in-depth research into the bus market on the African continent, focusing on usage patterns and implementation, Roam has developed a feeder bus for the matatu sector that combines the robustness required for the harsh usage conditions and comfort levels that often are lacking in the current products in the market.
Combining functional design with a modern aesthetic and state-of-the-art powertrain ensures smooth operations without compromising performance. This unique approach means we lower costs without trading off on safety or reliability.
What sets us apart is our local manufacturing approach. We take pride in building electric buses specifically designed for Kenya, right here in Kenya. The Roam Move is a commitment to Kenya's sustainable future. This commitment is what drives us to create innovative, reliable, and eco-friendly buses that cater to the unique needs of the country and the continent.
Our team of Kenyan experts has applied cutting-edge engineering techniques to ensure that our electric bus exceeds industry standards. With meticulous attention to detail, we have optimized the design for maximum strength, structural integrity, and longevity. Count on our electric bus to provide years of efficient and trouble-free operation. In addition to this, before our electric buses hit the road, they undergo rigorous testing procedures to ensure their resilience and performance in real-world conditions.
We subject our buses to extensive simulations, stress tests, and quality control checks to guarantee that they can withstand various weather conditions, challenging terrains, and demanding operational requirements. With every vehicle we build, we are committed to making a positive impact on Kenya’s environment and economy.
To ensure longevity in our products, we offer different service and maintenance options to meet every client's needs. Therefore, offering a complete solution to run your operation smoothly, with flexibility in function and range, at a competitive price starting at KES 3 million.
