MOTORHINO is a Danish motorcycle company - born electric.

We are passionate about climate impact and work tirelessly to help mitigate the global climate crisis. In 2020 we identified a climate catastrophy on wheels. Working in the field of energy renovation in West Africa we saw the negative impact of the two wheel transport that take up 80%-90% of the passenger transport in Sub Sahara Africa. And immediately started investigating possible means of transformation of the Sub Sahara traffic ecosystem. Mid 2020 we imported the first ever electric motorcycles to the Togolese marked for test and scrutineering. And we have not looked back since.

We now manufacture a green alternative to gasoline motorcycles and save the world one motorcycle at a time...


Africas 27 million motorcycles are a massive threat to the global climate. 80% of the motorcycle fleet is used as motorcycle taxis and operate up to 17 hours per day. In average the old ineficcient combustion engines running on fossil fuel, emit  5,5 Kg CO2 per day, resulting in a total emission of 1,9 Tons of CO2 annually per motorcycle.
