00:00Which of these motorcycles is more eco-friendly? Surprise, it's the oldest one. No noise,
00:05no smoke, no fuel. In Mamako Mali, motorcycles are going electric. Salif Sawadego is the mechanic
00:11and inventor behind this process. He removes the combustion engine and installs an electric motor.
00:17Six batteries go where the fuel tank used to be, and voila, the motorbike is back on the road.
00:22This idea couldn't come at a better time. Mali has repeatedly been hit with fuel shortages,
00:27and now they're worsened by the Middle East conflict. The e-motorbikes offer a solution.
00:32They don't need fuel and cut emissions, and their impact can be even more powerful if they're
00:37powered by renewables. These repurposed e-motorbikes are paving the way for a greener Bamako.
