that path requires pioneers, like ben lokeris koriang and jakob hornbachch.achen university in germany y had a pragmatic idea: take the already existing fuel motorbikes in kampala and transform them i into electric bikes. >> so, all we remove is what you call the petrol driven powertrain and we put an electric powertrain. so as you can see it is the same bike, fuel tank is empty of course. and what we e put inside i s mainly an electric controller, an e electric motor, a batterys a source of power, r replacing the fuel tank and some digitall controlsls and a throttle. >> lithium ion batteries recovered from old lapapto are assembled into rechargeable battery units for the ebike. and the recycling loloop continues, eveven when the batteries bebecome too weak to use in the ebis. >> so, what we do is get the newer batteries and use it for e-mobility. after that, when they lose a bit of power, we put it in storage systems like power banks or power reserves. and once it loses again, loses a bit of power, we go to torches and other smaller applications before it go
