Roam, an electric mobility company, and Greenspoon, an online organic food store, have joined forces to revolutionize food delivery in Kenya. This partnership aims to offer a sustainable and efficient delivery service that benefits both customers and the environment.
Greenspoon customers can now expect their orders to arrive in under 99 minutes, a significant improvement from the previous delivery time of up to 3 hours. This is made possible by Roam Air, a high-performance electric motorcycle designed for efficient and reliable deliveries.
Designed for high efficiency and durability, Roam Air features a waterproof storage tank and a strong frame that will make up to 15 Greenspoon customer orders daily per Roam Air. Its removable dual battery system and portable charger allow Greenspoon riders to charge at any power outlet, including their warehouse, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuous operation. Greenspoon will offer three batteries for each Roam Air, which is equal to a range of over 225 km when all are fully charged, enabling Greenspoon riders to complete up to 195 orders daily.
With the improved delivery time, Greenspoon is aiming to serve more customers as they are currently serving over 3,500 customers who order through the Greenspoon mobile app and website.
By using electric vehicles for deliveries, both companies are reducing their carbon footprint and contributing to a greener future.
Elijah Karanja, Greenspoon’s Operations Manager, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “Roam and Greenspoon are a perfect match for going green. This collaboration is a step towards a net-zero future.”
Dionne Getata, Roam’s Sales Operations Manager, echoed Karanja’s sentiments, emphasizing the shared commitment to a sustainable planet. “Our partnership leverages the latest electric motorcycle technology to reduce carbon emissions and provide a more environmentally friendly delivery service.”
