Following the hike in fuel price, a Nigerian man has come up with an innovative way to help people move around.
By introducing electric bikes as an alternative mode of transportation, clever Nigerian businessman Owelle has made a daring contribution to sustainability.
Owelle, who is renowned for his creative solutions, posted pictures and videos of the stylish electric bikes on Twitter, where they quickly went viral and sparked a lively discussion.
Many Nigerians are searching for more affordable and environmentally friendly forms of transportation as fuel prices hit record highs.
Owelle’s introduction of luxury electric bikes seemed to present an appealing option to those looking for a greener way to commute.
In his Twitter post, Owelle revealed that the price of these electric bikes is set at N1.3 million, but he emphasized that the price is negotiable, making it potentially accessible to a broader range of consumers.
He wrote;
“Last deal👍🏿 Electric bikes 1.3M each Goodnight 🌺🌺”
Many Twitter users criticized the high price, expressing concerns that it might be out of reach for the average Nigerian consumer.
Another concern raised by some users is the need for a reliable power source to charge the electric bikes.
