If you look at what the bodaboda riders do, it is safe to say that they are the transport option of choice. People use them to deliver food and drugs. Sometimes they act as hauliers. We should design bodaboda motorcycles, for production by our local manufacturing plants, to ensure that they meet the needs of our society. They should be able to carry a package of 20 kgs that may not be carried on an ordinary motorcycle. Let us design bodaboda motorcycles that meet the needs of the time. My colleagues have talked about pollution and climate change. As we speak, most of the industrialized nations have gone electric. Very few are using motorcycles or cars that use petrol or diesel. Our environment is most likely to be affected by climate change. If we design motorcycles that are propelled by solar, gas or other forms of renewable energy, we will be protecting our environment.
