Celebrating Our First Rider to reach 100-Swap Milestone!
At Dodai, we don’t just build electric bikes; we build a new way of moving. Today, we are thrilled to celebrate a major landmark in our journey toward a greener Ethiopia. One of our dedicated riders, Afraksd Same, has officially become the first customer to reach 100 battery swaps using the Dodai TS-1! Taking him only 180 days to reach this milestone.
From Hesitation to Efficiency
Like many making the switch to electric, Afraksd initially wondered how integrated swapping would fit into a busy workday.
Powering the Daily Grind
For high-capacity users, time is literally money. Afraksd often pushes his TS-1 to the limit, covering significant distances that would leave a standard plug-in electric vehicle struggling to keep up.
“I ride up to 70 km a day, and sometimes even more than 100 km,” Afraksd explains. “Instead of waiting hours for a charge, the swapping option helps me save time and do more in a day. I have found it to be perfectly suited for my work.”
Why 100 Swaps Matter
This milestone isn’t just a number. It represents thousands of kilometers driven without tailpipe emissions and proves that the “swap-and-go” model is the most reliable solution for Addis Ababa’s hardest workers. Afraksd has shown that with a Dodai TS-1, you don’t have to choose between being eco-friendly and being productive. You can do both.
