Ranking Underscores the Strength of Capital-efficient Growth Strategy
and Integrated Operating Platform
NAIROBI, Kenya, July, 2026/ — eWAKA (www.eWAKA.tech [7]), the
company building the operating platform for commercial electric mobility
in Africa, has been recognized among Africa’s Top 50 Mobility
Companies in the 2026 MobilityX Africa rankings, placing 13th overall
out of more than 250 companies assessed across the continent.
The recognition serves as independent validation for a business that has
consistently exhibited disciplined execution, efficient capital
allocation, and a unique operating model in one of the world’s
fastest-growing mobility markets. Currently, eWAKA operates in Kenya and
Rwanda, where it has deployed over 1,200 electric cargo bicycles and
motorcycles, facilitating more than 1.1 million deliveries through its
integrated mobility platform. These achievements demonstrate the
commercial viability of eWAKA’s capital-efficient operating model and
establish a solid foundation for future growth.
eWAKA has built an integrated platform that combines managed electric
fleets, rider and technician management, affordable battery access,
financing, and proprietary software, delivered through a disciplined,
capital-efficient approach to growth. The company’s inclusion among
Africa’s highest-ranked mobility businesses reinforces the strength of
that strategy.
The report also recognized eWAKA as one of the Top 5 mobility companies
in Kenya, the highest-ranked woman-led mobility company in East Africa,
and one of only a few woman-founded companies included in the
continental ranking.
“This recognition is not about a ranking. It is about validating a way
of building companies,” said Céleste Tchetgen Vogel, Founder and CEO
of eWAKA. “The future of mobility will not be defined by who builds
the most vehicles. It will be defined by who builds the operating
platforms that make electric mobility commercially sustainable. This
recognition validates our conviction that disciplined execution and
thoughtful capital allocation can create enduring businesses.”
At eWAKA, the motorcycle is just one component of a connected ecosystem,
rather than the final product. By integrating vehicles, software,
financing, battery infrastructure, and fleet operations into a single
operating platform, the company allows commercial electric mobility to
scale.
As eWAKA enters its next phase of growth, the company is focused on
expanding its managed fleet platform, strengthening its technology
capabilities and deploying growth capital into a business model that has
already demonstrated its ability to support continued growth.
