About

Zeno is an electric mobility company building battery-swap electric motorcycles and flexible energy storage systems for East African and South Asian markets. Founded in 2022 by Michael Spencer (a former Tesla engineer) and co-founders from Tesla and Apple, Zeno produces the Emara electric motorbike designed for affordability and practicality in emerging markets. The company has built a battery-swap network across Kenya and Uganda, enabling riders to swap depleted batteries at swap stations rather than waiting for a recharge. In March 2026, Zeno raised a $25 million Series A round to accelerate production and expand its battery-swap infrastructure.
