Motorbikes in Kenya

Africa is now getting the largest number of three wheelers, tuktuks, and motorbikes than any other continent with the exception of Asia. Kenya is not left behind.

In my recent travels to Nairobi and Kisumu, I have witnessed hundreds of motorbikes all over the cities. People really like them since they are fast and efficient. The danger though is that they carry loads of passengers beyond capacity thus endangering the lives of many.

The Indian makes of Bajaj, and TV's motorbikes are now the favorite motorbikes due to their low cost ($1000) and they take little gas. The models from China are Focin, Sach, Piaggio.

We feel this trend toward motorbikes is progress and taxi's of all kinds are welcome here.
