The award-winning artist said the line is aimed at empowering motorcycle riders and creating a Made-in-Africa solution for the continent’s transportation needs.
He wrote, “Manifestation is spiritual. Years ago, I claimed 30 BG, but it wasn’t just about success – it was about purpose.
“Today, I’m transforming that vision into something bigger: generational wealth and ownership.
“With my own line of electric bikes, in partnership with Spiro, we’re not just building a product – we’re building a movement.
“The bike market in Africa is more than transportation; it’s the backbone of our economy.”
Highlighting the significance of motorcycles in Africa, he noted that over 27 million motorcycles serve as a crucial means of livelihood, with 80 per cent of riders relying on bikes for their daily earnings.
“Over 27 million motorcycles power the dreams and hustle of our people, with 80 per cent of riders relying on bikes for their livelihoods,” he stated.
Davido added that motorcycle riders, also called Okada riders in Nigeria, have played a vital role in his career, and he sees this partnership as a way to give back and promote sustainable transportation.
“They moved my music, my name, and my story across every corner of Nigeria and Africa. Now it’s time to give back,” he wrote.
Davido further highlighted the importance of creating solutions within Africa for African needs, saying, “This isn’t just about business – it’s about creating a Made in Africa solution for Africa.
He added that the venture aligns with his philosophy of “We Rise By Lifting Others’ stating, “This is about legacy. It’s about breaking barriers and showing what’s possible when vision, purpose, and community align.
“When I said We Rise By Lifting Others, it wasn’t just a motto – it was the blueprint.
“This partnership is proof that when we create for our people, by our people, we build something that lasts.”
Speaking on the design of the bikes, Davido wrote, “And let’s not forget – these bikes are fly! Big shoutout to Tycoone and Spiro team for the groundbreaking design cannot wait until we reveal the final product. Oh yeah, I put my people on.
“This is more than a deal; it’s a statement. It’s ownership, empowerment, and legacy in motion.
“Africa is not just catching up – we’re redefining what it means to lead. The future isn’t waiting for us – we’re driving straight into it.
“We are live in Nigeria, Togo, Benin, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania and Ghana,” he added as he urged interested riders to sign up on the Spiro website.
