Uber Mulls Electric Bike Rollout in South Africa to Address Growing Demand for Low-Cost Mobility

Uber is considering introducing electric bikes to its Moto service in South Africa, aiming to expand its two-wheel offering and address rising transport costs and heavy traffic in urban areas. The move could widen access to mobility and provide a cheaper alternative to car-based services. However, challenges such as charging infrastructure, financing plans, and safety standards need to be addressed before a rollout can occur.
