One step at a time and your goals will go above and beyond.

[@ATUHAIREFELIX]

Kudos to the guys behind the technology.

[@rayibanda8002]

Wooow! Great development..very safe environmentally and cheaper too

[@Kikambi]

This is the kind of help we need,instead of giving money to the government, which they use to buy weapons and stay in power,well done Bodawerk.

[@gogolgogol1734]

Nice Idea and many thanks to MR. Hornbach en MR Dreher for saving the Environment, also for the opportunity

[@ziwer1]

Great job guys. Great to see that you are making e-bikes a viable alternative in UG. But I worry the actual cost of recharging may be subsidized by funding, which means prices may go up in the future. This is still nice, Keep it moving.

[@owengoodluck6908]

Guys u try to be so open with your contacts / contact physical address so that we start to look for u

[@nyattabby7953]

What a great idea,well done guys! This is exactly what we need in this ,kick the petrol companies out,use electricity! This is the next generation!

[@Dennomaticinfluence]

And Francis has no helmet

[@jobydevasia2039]

That's great idea

[@impalabirungi6079]

For this reason, in will ride a boda boda. I can't smell the smell of fuel from motor cyles. Thank you for the good work.

[@stevenjohnson7652]

Niiiiiiiice.

[@michaelsekalala8041]

1000€ for those types of bikes is steep. They don't talk of range, batteries have lost their original capacities (used laptops...) but I support the initiative though. Give could subsidize.

[@mutaiphilip5572]

How much money do you need to transform a fuel motorcycle to an electric one

[@extract_ist1071]

Why not convert to ugx while talking about money why euros?

[@kingfro6940]

It's from DW News, which is based in Germany. Most of the people who watch this won't know anything about UGX.

[@nyattabby7953]

Exactly,its bloody ridiculous to live in that country and talk in bloody USA dollars,I visit every year and I was very upset when for visa they wanted only US dollars nothing else,what shame,making money for US,why Uganda currency is suffering! Wake my people,stop being under colonialism, last run our show!

[@mirembecaroline1079]

I also want a job in this company

Go Green !!!

[@jeongminyoun5388]

Battery which have lifecycle 14 days and have to recharge twice a day.... Quite inconvenience. But environmental.

[@Jeremiah0809]

True

Am in Uganda have not seen this

[@muhwezibrighton4222]

It's time you start finding out about the country....

[@Dennomaticinfluence]

It's amazing but haven't seen hard-working Francis with gloves and a mask

[@olgaajiri1062]

We call those disease free people. DFP.

[@mukasajonathan2824]

It's just that the story this time was not about accidents due to lack of good safety PPE use, while in transit; otherwise motorbikes are responsible for death of about 6 people on a daily in Uganda. So, well, it's a real crisis per see.
