Spiro Quadruples Electric Bike Fleet in Year, Eyes 10x Growth by 2025
Spiro, a leading electric bike provider, has rapidly expanded its fleet, quadrupling its bike deployment in just over a year. The company, which operates on a daily subscription model with battery swapping infrastructure, aims for significant growth in the coming years.
Spiro's journey began in January 2024 with 10,000 bikes. By the end of the year, this number had skyrocketed to 40,000. The company's ambitious plans include a 10x growth in bike deployment by 2025, not necessarily revenue. To reach this goal, Spiro would need to deploy an additional 63,000 bikes by the end of 2025.
Spiro's success has not gone unnoticed. The company has secured major financing, including a $63 million loan and a $53 million debt financing agreement. This funding has supported Spiro's expansion, with 40,000 electric bicycles already delivered to Germany and Austria. Within Nigeria, Spiro operates 15 swap stations in Lagos and others in various cities, with a total of 40,000 bikes deployed across six countries.
Spiro's growth has been bolstered by strategic partnerships. The company has struck deals with governments, receiving orders from Ogun State, Kwara State, and Cross River State. However, competition in the African EV market is heating up, with rivals like Max and Siltech also innovating and expanding.
Spiro's rapid bike deployment and ambitious growth plans have positioned it as a key player in the African EV market. With major financing secured and strategic partnerships in place, the company is well on its way to reaching $200 million in annual revenue. However, intense competition in the market ensures that Spiro must continue to innovate and expand to maintain its lead.
