Guraride is a Rwandan green e-mobility public bikeshare
transport service, launched in July 2017 in Kigali. People can
rent a bike through a mobile app that’s operated in partnership
with the City of Kigali. Since 2021, Guraride has been installing
modern green mobility ridesharing docking stations across two
networks – the city centre and Gisimenti-Kimironko corridors.
With the deployment of bikes and e-bikes, Guraride hopes
to raise cycling’s profile and sensitize Kigalians to the positive
effects of cycling on both physical and environmental health.
“We are committed to the sustainability of green mobility in
Rwanda and Africa as a whole” says Tony Adesina.
“Our goal is to use and see bicycles as a means of transport, like
in other developed countries around the world. We believe the
will of our people here in Rwanda will make the country a green
country role model for the rest of Africa,“ stated Tony Adesina.
