GEZO Electric Tricycle FAQ
how we're revolutionizing transportation across Africa.
Electric vehicles use electricity stored in lithium-ion batteries to power electric motors, replacing traditional gasoline engines. When you press the accelerator, electricity flows from the battery to the motor, creating instant torque and smooth acceleration. Regenerative braking captures energy during deceleration, recharging the battery. EVs have fewer moving parts than traditional cars, resulting in lower maintenance costs and higher reliability.

Kemet is uniquely positioned to redefine electric mobility in Africa. By combining a deep understanding of local conditions with a commitment to innovation, we are developing electric vehicles specifically tailored to the African market. Our focus on sustainable transportation solutions and our dedication to building a strong local presence set us apart from other EV manufacturers
We are currently in the process of establishing our manufacturing facilities across Africa. Our aim is to create local jobs and contribute to the economic growth of the continent.
We will provide various purchasing options, including dealerships, fleet purchasing options and through our online platforms. Details on the sales process will be available closer to our product launch.
Electric vehicles require minimal maintenance compared to traditional cars no oil changes, transmission repairs, or exhaust system replacements. We’re establishing service centers across our manufacturing locations with trained technicians and genuine parts. Required maintenance includes tire rotations, brake fluid changes every few years, and battery coolant service. Our comprehensive warranty covers battery performance for 8 years/160,000km.
Yes. We actively seek investment partners who share our vision for African electric mobility. We’re in Pre-Seed stage, developing manufacturing facilities and finalizing production plans. Partnership opportunities include charging infrastructure, dealership networks, supply chain collaboration, and technology partnerships.
