Bridging Scandinavian innovation and West African mobility.

ScandAfriq is building solar-powered electric scooter sharing for university campuses in Nigeria — sustainable, affordable, and built with the people who'll use it.

Currently at idea stage, seeking pilot partners and funding.

273

universities in Nigeria, ~2.2M students

13M

electric vehicles targeted by Nigeria by 2050

30%

of Malmö city trips already by bike

Walking long distances between lectures, or relying on crowded fuel-powered shuttles, is the daily reality. Fuel subsidy removal has pushed costs even higher.

The Solution

A campus-based electric scooter-sharing service: e-scooters, solar-powered charging stations, and a simple app to unlock, ride, and pay. Geofenced to campus for safety. Priced for student budgets, not commercial rates.

How It Works

1.Find a scooter

Open the app, see nearby scooters on a campus map.

2.Unlock and ride

Scan a QR code, ride within the geofenced campus.

3.Park and pay

End at an approved spot, pay at a student-friendly rate.

4.Charge, sustainably

Scooters return to solar-powered charging stations.
