Are you in the Keke business in any way? Be it as a rider, a lender, parts dealer, or mechanic? Please answer this one question: What do you think about electric tricycles/Keke? Do you think it's a good idea for the Nigerian roads and business climate? Have you seen one in Nigeria before? Would you buy electric Keke if you found one for sale in your area?

Note: Electric Keke are tricycles you could charge like a cellphone without the need to buy fuel. See the photos below.

Update

I posted this question here because I was preparing an article on the subject. Although I didn't get any responses here, the article is ready. You can read it here: https://www.carsandhorsepower.com/featured/electric-keke-tricycles-the-future-of-commercial-transportation-in-nigeria

Not correct. It's around $1000 to $1300. The Keke people I spoke to emphasized the electricity issue. They were like, "we never see power charge phone, na where we go see light charge Keke?" This one in the picture takes 5 to 6 hours to be fully charged, and has a range of 30km.
