Rwanda to ban gasoline-powered motorcycles
The Secretary of State in the Ministry of Infrastructure, Amb Jean de Dieu Uwihanganye, announced that motorcycles that use gasoline or diesel will be banned from entering the Rwandan market, and people will switch to electric ones.
As of January 2025, the government has stopped issuing licenses for new gasoline-powered motorcycle taxis in the City of Kigali. New riders who want to operate a motorcycle are required to have an electric motorcycle.
Ambassador Uwihanganye said that the decision has been fruitful in Kigali, and will soon be extended to the entire country. No more non-electric motorcycles, whether passenger or otherwise, will be allowed to enter.
He said that the market has grown, with motorcycle manufacturers and fire service operators. He confirmed that there is now the capacity to implement this program at the national level.
In 2025, 14,031 motorcycles were sold in Rwanda, representing a 28% increase compared to the previous year. The largest number are electric motorcycles, which have increased by 686% since their arrival in Rwanda.
Regular petrol-powered motorcycles will continue to operate as usual. The decision to suspend the ban applies to new vehicles entering the country.
