In a ground-breaking stride towards sustainable and
efficient transportation, Ghanaian social entrepreneur Valerie Labi has taken
the initiative to design and build electric bikes at her workshop, Wahu
Mobility, located in Spintex within Ghana's Greater Accra Region. Labi's
innovation stands out as a beacon of eco-friendly mobility solutions in the
region.
Equipped with two rechargeable batteries, Labi's electric
bicycles boast an impressive range of up to 140 kilometers on a single charge.
This remarkable feat ensures that delivery riders can navigate through the
bustling streets of Accra, covering an entire day's work without the need for
frequent recharging.
Labi's visionary approach to transportation is making waves,
particularly in collaboration with delivery giants like Glovo and Bolt. By
forging partnerships with these companies, she has spearheaded the creation of
a petrol-free bike fleet, revolutionizing service delivery with a blend of
speed, efficiency, and environmental consciousness.
Beyond her entrepreneurial endeavors, Valerie Labi remains a
family-oriented leader, juggling the responsibilities of a businesswoman while
being a devoted wife and mother of three. Her commitment to sustainable
solutions not only transforms the landscape of transportation in Ghana but also
serves as an inspiration for future innovators in the realm of eco-friendly
mobility.
