Electric mobility offers a sustainable solution to transportation-related environmental and socioeconomic challenges. This study assesses the adoption of electric motorbikes (e-motorbikes) in Kigali City, with a focus on Nyarugenge District. Using mixed methods literature review, GIS mapping, field observation, surveys, and stakeholder interviews. we evaluate user awareness, infrastructure, technical feasibility, and policy readiness. Despite high awareness (98%) and usage (97%), adoption remains low due to battery limitations, poor service access, and regulatory delays. However, respondents support e-motorbikes’ environmental benefits and would adopt them with incentives. The study recommends expanding infrastructure, improving batteries, and fostering multisector collaboration to advance Rwanda’s sustainable urban transport goals.
