Wait, M-KOPA's a finance company? I thought it was a bike maker.
This African EV bike movement is quietly exciting, rooting for it.
No breakdown at all on how many bikes $30M actually funds.
M-KOPA's the same outfit known for solar panel installment plans, guessing it's the same playbook for bikes.

Backing e-bike adoption across Africa, honestly this is just good news.
But $30M is a lending business at the end of the day, whether regular people actually benefit is a separate question.
