The motorcycles
Which motorcycle should I choose for my work?
For taxi work, the Élégance; for delivery, the Djabi; for dirt roads and heavy loads, the Dynastie; for town, the Citadine; for riding solo, the Sport; for sporty comfort, the Finesse. Our guide advises you in four questions.

From 100 to 120 km per charge, depending on how you ride. A passenger, a heavy load, dirt roads or speed reduce the distance.

Why does an Ehu motorcycle cost more to buy?
Because its price includes the battery and the charger, which are yours. A motorcycle sold cheaper without its battery makes you rent it: you have to go and get another one every time it runs flat, without knowing its condition. With an Ehu motorcycle, each kilometer costs about 6 F when you charge at home. After a few months, the difference shows.
Work out what you’d saveCan I pay weekly?
Yes, subject to conditions: every application is reviewed. If it is accepted, you pay each week until the motorcycle is yours; an advisor gives you the amount and the term in writing, before you sign anything.
How it worksCharging
How do I charge the motorcycle?
With the supplied charger, on a 220 V outlet, through the slow port: at home, at work, anywhere there is power. Or with fast charging at an Ehu station, through the fast port.
Charging in detailHow long does charging take?
About 4 hours at home for a full charge. At an Ehu station, from 20 to 80% in 30 minutes.
Where can I charge in town?
At Ehu stations in Cotonou: our network is growing. Ask us on WhatsApp for the station nearest to you.
Charging in detailDoes the battery belong to me?
Yes. It is built into the motorcycle and belongs to you. Only an Ehu technician opens it, to inspect or repair it.
Warranty and maintenance
What is the warranty?
Two years: the motorcycle up to 25,000 km, each battery up to 60,000 km, whichever comes first. A repair under warranty costs you nothing.
The warranty in detailHow often does the motorcycle need servicing?
Every 3 months or every 5,000 km, whichever comes first, at Ehu Motors or its partners. It is also a condition of the warranty.
Going electric: what you need to knowWhat should I do if the motorcycle breaks down?
Message the workshop on WhatsApp, or call it. A fault that stops you riding is repaired within 24 h; any other fault, within 3 days.
