Cheaper for businesses, cleaner for cities, jobs that stay local

Impact

Every ZELO delivery saves money and carbon, and every eTrike is built, run, and repaired by its people locally.

Cleaner cities

About 180 g of CO2 avoided every kilometre.

Zero tailpipe emissions. At plan use, each eTrike avoids about 3.5 tonnes of CO2 a year, or about 17 tonnes over its working life.

Affordable delivery

Three times the load, for one motorbike trip.

Businesses move up to three times a motorbike’s load for about the price of one motorbike trip, with no vehicle to buy and no driver to hire.

Local jobs and skills

Work that stays local.

Paid training and steady work for riders and technicians, many of them young people, and skilled fabrication jobs. We aim for at least 30% women across riders, technicians and hub staff.

Circular by design

Refurbished, not scrapped.

We refurbish frames instead of scrapping them, replace motors and battery packs on the same frame, and send end-of-life batteries to accredited local recyclers.

Measured and reported

Every delivery, on the record. Kilometres, CO2 avoided, cost savings and jobs created.

ZELO Connect logs every delivery, so customers, partners and funders get the data they need for their own reporting.
