As discussions around electric transport grow in Nigeria, a Lagos-based company, DandoEv, is focusing on the systems required to support the shift.

The company is building electric mobility options aimed at businesses, logistics operators, and residential communities that are adjusting to rising fuel costs.

DandoEv operates an electric mobility fleet that includes electric bicycles, motorcycles, passenger tricycles, private bikes, and scooters. According to the company, its approach is shaped by daily transportation needs rather than long-term projections.

“We are not waiting for the future to arrive,” DandoEv said. “People are already dealing with fuel shortages, price changes, and maintenance costs. Our work is about what can function right now.”
Petrol price increases have affected delivery services, security operations, and personal transportation across cities. DandoEv said its focus is on reducing dependence on fuel by offering electric alternatives that can be charged and managed locally.
The company produces and manages electric bikes, batteries, and charging systems. It said the aim is to help businesses maintain delivery schedules while reducing operating costs linked to fuel and engine servicing.
“For logistics riders, every delay affects income,” the company said. “When fuel becomes uncertain, work slows down. Electric bikes remove that layer of dependence.”
DandoEv identified security patrols in residential estates as another area where electric mobility is gaining attention. The company said silent movement and predictable power supply have made electric bikes useful for night patrols.
“In security work, noise can be a disadvantage,” DandoEv said. “Electric bikes allow patrol teams to move without drawing attention or dealing with fuel availability during odd hours.”
Two of the company’s models, the G90 Electric Bicycle and the iMax Electric Bicycle, were developed for local road conditions. According to DandoEv, the models are designed to handle uneven roads while supporting long hours of use.
“These bikes are not designed for smooth foreign roads,” the company said. “They are meant to work on the roads people use every day.”
Beyond selling electric bikes, DandoEv said it manages battery life cycles, charging access, and technical support. The company said this structure helps riders avoid downtime caused by battery failure or lack of support.
“Trust matters,” DandoEv said. “If a rider’s bike stops working and there is no support, the system fails. That is why we stay involved after deployment.”
The company said its work includes training users on battery management and ensuring replacement options are available when needed. According to DandoEv, this approach reduces the burden of frequent repairs associated with fuel-powered bikes.
DandoEv also confirmed that it is the official distributor of Spiro electric motorcycles in Nigeria. The company said the partnership expands the range of electric mobility options available to riders and businesses.
“Our goal is to make electric transport accessible,” the company said. “People should be able to choose it without worrying about how it will fit into their daily work.”
DandoEv said demand has come from dispatch riders, estate managers, and small business owners looking for alternatives to fuel-powered transport. The company added that it delivers its products across the country.
“The interest we see shows that people are open to change when it makes sense for their work,” DandoEv said. “Electric transport becomes easier to adopt when the systems around it are in place.”
