Anis Fekih didn’t set out to build electric scooters. A trained pilot and entrepreneur, he had his aha moment on the streets of Paris. Riding a scooter while navigating with his phone, he realised how unsafe, inconvenient, and outdated urban mobility had become. That moment sparked a bold idea: What if scooters were smarter, safer, and seamlessly connected? Led by Anis Fekih, Wafa Dhifi, an industrial expert with deep experience in scaling operations, and Imed Mlaweh, a tech and embedded systems engineer specialising in smart mobility. Pixii Motors is turning that idea into reality by building Africa’s first intelligent smart mobility ecosystem to revolutionise urban transportation. How Pixii Motors is transforming mobility: ✅ Seamless rides with zero range anxiety powered by smart battery swap stations ✅ Smarter, safer journeys with built-in cockpit and anti-collision sensors ✅ Fleet-friendly and cost-efficient with predictive maintenance cutting expenses by 70% ✅ Cleaner cities and a greener future with each scooter reducing CO₂ emissions by 60% Pixii isn’t just about e-scooters, it’s about reinventing urban transport for a world that demands efficiency, affordability, and sustainability. But beyond the model, it’s the team that convinced us. They have the technical expertise, execution power, and vision to build Africa’s first globally scalable EV scooter company. The future of urban mobility is electric. Pixii Motors is leading the charge. ⚡ Stay tuned as we dive deeper into their journey!

Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the power of transformation—not just in energy, but in lives. In Nigeria, many women-led small businesses face significant challenges, from accessing reliable support to overcoming barriers in growth. At Earthbond, we’re proud to stand beside these inspiring entrepreneurs as they transition from diesel and petrol generators to solar energy, lighting the path to a more sustainable future. Our mission is rooted in the belief that when women are empowered, entire communities thrive. We see this every day in the resilience of the women we serve and in the exceptional women on our team who drive our success. Their hard work and passion remind us that empowered women empower women. Let’s use today to recognize the struggles, celebrate the victories, and continue building a future where every woman has the support she needs to shine. Happy International Women’s Day! #InternationalWomensDay #EmpoweredWomenEmpowerWomen #WomenInBusiness #Sustainability #SolarEnergy #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction
