The number of buses，taxis and other transportations on Kenya's roads is growing every day．

    Now，the country's first electric﹣powered motorbike is being made．The motorbike is designed（设计）to cut down on pollution． It's much cheaper so that most of people can afford it．

    Most motorbikes used in Kenya depend on gas as fuel（燃料）， but not this new motorbike． Its energy comes from sunlight．

    Three university students developed the new motorbike． It receives the sun's energy，stores it in batteries （蓄电池） and uses it to charge （充电） the electric motorbike．

    Robert Achoge is one of the student inventors．"Our hope is that by the fifth year，we will be able to cover the whole Kenya with the electric motorbike in order to improve the environment and provide affordable transport． "

    The students have set up a fueling station for the motorbikes in Nairobi． Riders can charge the motorbikes in the station． The small battery can run for 70 kilometers when they're fully charged． Once the power is used up， the motorbike has to return to the fueling station while another charged battery is connected to the motorbike． The US African Development Foundation is providing some money for two solar﹣powered charging stations in the Kenyan port of Kisumu．

    Each motorbike costs about ﹩700． One motorbike rider says the new motorbike costs less to ride than motorbikes running on traditional fuel．" When talking about buying fuel， there is no need． It's basically good for everyone． Even though you won't carry quite a heavy load，you can go with it anywhere．"

    A Nairobi dealership is selling the motorbikes． Businessman Kennedy Kusimba hopes they will become popular． "We also know they are more reliable， compared to the gas﹣powered motorbikes． They are more useful and they will last longer．"
