Description

Pay-as-you-go bicycle models have become increasingly common in large cities, particularly in the US and Europe. Could something similar help with the huge challenge of mobility in rural and urban Zambia?

In this episode, we’re joined by Wyson Lungu, Founder and CEO of Onyx Connect. Over the last year, Wyson has provided bicycles along with a package of tech including smartphones, GPS, and solar lamps throughout Zambia. In this episode he talks about the challenges, how he overcame them, and plans for the future.
