Others voiced concerns that one may still need to get fuel to power generators which would be used in charging the electric bikes, given the epileptic power supply.
When asked how long the electric bike runs before needing a recharge, the businessman told Legit.ng that it lasts 15 hours when fully charged.
"Sold out. 15 hours once fully charged," he said.
