Wahu Mobility Launches “Hero” App to Accelerate E-Mobility in Africa

Wahu Mobility, a Ghanaian electric-vehicle innovator, unveiled its new digital platform, the Wahu Hero app, on June 26, 2025 at an event held at the British High Commission residence in Accra. The launch marks a key step in Wahu’s plan to build a full-stack e-mobility ecosystem that fits the needs of African cities.

A One-Stop App for Riders
The Hero app gives individual users tools to manage their electric bikes with ease. Riders can track their bike in real time, choose flexible payment plans, schedule maintenance, order spare parts and earn rewards for safe and steady riding. The app also supports Wahu’s Ride-to-Own program, letting delivery riders and small business owners pay off their e-bikes over time while they earn income.

Tools for Fleets and Logistics
Beyond individual users, Hero is built to serve fleet operators and delivery partners. It provides data dashboards to monitor performance, routing tools to cut delivery times and features that help companies lower their carbon footprint. By offering these operational insights, Wahu is laying the digital groundwork for cleaner last-mile delivery across the region.

Local Leadership and Global Support
The launch drew government officials, tech entrepreneurs and development partners. Dr. Samuel Antwi-Gyekyi, Director of Digital Technology at the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, praised Wahu’s work as aligned with Ghana’s goals for a greener economy. Wahu CEO Valerie Labi said Hero is more than an app—it is a platform that empowers riders, businesses and communities.

Looking Ahead
Wahu already operates in Ghana and Togo and plans to expand into Nigeria and Zambia. An open API is in development so third-party e-mobility services can plug into the platform and help build a unified network. With the Hero app now live, Wahu Mobility aims to drive Africa’s shift to electric, inclusive and data-driven transport.
