An electric two-wheeler startup pulling in this much funding really speaks to how high expectations are for the African market.

Which specific countries is this additional funding actually going toward expanding into?

They've probably already built a track record around Kenya, so this'll likely fund expansion into neighboring countries.

I keep seeing Spiro pop up in articles - must be a company with real momentum.

With this much money flowing into Africa's electric two-wheeler market, infrastructure development should pick up pace too.

An extra $55 million on top of what was already a solid raise - shows some serious appetite for expansion.
