Accra, Ghana – June 26, 2025 — Ghanaian electric vehicle innovator Wahu Mobility officially launched its flagship digital platform, the Wahu Hero app, today at a high-profile event hosted at the British High Commission’s residence in Accra. The launch marks a significant milestone in Wahu’s mission to build a vertically integrated e-mobility ecosystem tailored to the realities of African cities.
The event brought together a distinguished audience of government officials, tech entrepreneurs, development partners, and media representatives and ecosystem players. The choice of venue underscored the UK’s ongoing support for climate-smart innovation and sustainable entrepreneurship in Ghana.
A Digital Backbone for Africa’s E-Mobility Future
The Wahu Hero app is designed to be the central hub of Wahu’s growing ecosystem. It empowers riders to manage their electric bikes with ease, offering features such as real-time tracking, flexible payment options, maintenance scheduling, spare-part purchasing and a rewards program that incentivizes safe and consistent riding. The app also supports Wahu’s signature Ride-to-Own model, which allows delivery riders and entrepreneurs to gradually pay off their e-bikes while earning income.
Beyond individual users, the app is also built to serve fleet operators and logistics partners, offering data insights and operational tools that streamline last-mile delivery and reduce carbon footprints. With this launch, Wahu is not just offering a product, it’s building a digital infrastructure for Africa’s clean mobility revolution.
