About Zeno

An unprecedented energy transition has begun. To meet 2040 net zero goals, over 2 billion

electric two-wheelers (motorcycles) must be sold and $11 trillion in fuel consumption

replaced. Zeno is building a tech platform to electrify this two-wheeler market, currently

responsible for more than 4% of the world's GHG emissions. Our mission is to accelerate

the energy transition and democratize the benefits across Africa, India, and Latin America.

With a focus on East Africa as a starting point, Zeno is building a new energy ecosystem

with ground-up development of a fundamentally better electric motorcycle and associated

battery swap network to drive a better experience for our customers.
