Afrikonet.sl has taken a new step to improve delivery services in Sierra Leone with the arrival of five environmentally friendly delivery bikes.
The company confirmed that the five electric bikes have now arrived in the country and will be used to support its growing delivery operations. The bikes are fully electric, meaning they do not use fuel and do not produce harmful emissions, making them safe for the environment.
Afrikonet.sl said the introduction of these bikes is part of its plan to build a more sustainable delivery system while making it easier and faster for customers to receive their orders.
With the use of electric bikes, the company expects to reduce carbon emissions and cut down on delays often caused by traffic in busy parts of Freetown. The bikes are also easier to move through tight spaces, helping delivery riders reach customers quickly.
The company also highlighted that, despite the rising cost of fuel in Sierra Leone, Afrikonet will keep its delivery prices the same. This is because the company does not rely on fuel to run its delivery system.
Afrikonet explained that its office is fully equipped with a solar energy system, which is used to charge the electric bikes. This allows the company to operate without depending on fuel, helping both the business and its customers.
In addition to the bikes, Afrikonet.sl continues to use eco-friendly packaging materials. The company says its packaging is mostly recycled, which helps reduce waste and support environmental protection.
A representative from Afrikonet said the arrival of the bikes marks an important moment for the company’s operations in Sierra Leone.
“We are happy to bring in these electric bikes. This is part of our effort to protect the environment while giving our customers a better delivery experience. We are also proud that even with fuel prices going up, our customers will not be affected,” the representative said.
Afrikonet.sl is an online platform that connects vendors with customers in Sierra Leone and the diaspora. The company says it will continue to invest in clean and modern solutions to improve its services.
The arrival of the five electric delivery bikes shows a growing interest in green technology in Sierra Leone, especially in the area of transport and logistics.
